What opportunities can BIM bring to the traditional construction industry?

In recent years, the entire construction industry swept a BIM wind, many companies or individuals engaged in the construction industry for many years, in the BIM wind, but also had to face the transformation and upgrading. So, BIM in the end for the traditional construction industry to bring what opportunities? And listen to my narrative. BIM is derived from the "Buliding Information Modeling" acronym, the Chinese translation for "Building Information Modeling". At present, in the domestic construction industry, BIM technology is mainly used in the architectural design stage, the architectural design from CAD two-dimensional drawings into BIM three-dimensional model, the building model is more three-dimensional, real. The concept of BIM technology is the virtual construction of the building on the computer, the model covers all the data information of the building, including geometric and non-geometric information, the BIM model runs through the whole life cycle management of the building, the construction of the project and the later operation and maintenance will play a continuous role. Next, I would like to share with you a few features of BIM that I think are very important. 3D visualization, what you see is what you get 3D visualization in the construction industry can be quite extensive. In the past, we can get the construction drawings in the industry only contains the information of each component, the use of abstract expression of the line, the effect of building out completely rely on our own imagination, and now with the visualization of three-dimensional models, the three-dimensional model of the building can be three-dimensional model of the three-dimensional presentation of the building in front of everyone, a more image, more convenient for everyone to make decisions in the design and construction. Collision check, collaborative management Collaborative management is one of the more important functions of BIM technology, the construction of buildings from planning to completion, including architectural design, civil engineering, mechanical and electrical, security, fire, construction and many other links, and the technology and understanding between the various fields is not the same, in the construction of the same building in the process of the construction of the conflict and errors can easily occur. As a result, BIM modeling is particularly important, which can detect and avoid errors in time and improve the efficiency of each team member.BIM, making optimization easierIn fact, buildings are a continuous optimization process in all stages of design, construction and operation and maintenance, and based on BIM technology, better optimization can be achieved. Currently, the design of buildings is becoming more and more streamlined, the appearance of the building also makes the building design more complex, for the previous drawings, every optimization of the building is a painful decision, and with BIM, through the detailed data and information comparison, the optimization is more concise, more intuitive.
