BIM Building Information Modeling

Some years ago, Architects and Engineers use BIM to create 3D models of the projects to be developed, using software that help them to carry out this work, but BIM is not a software design or to display the projects.

BIM Building Information Modeling is a methodology, is a system of collaborative work that allows you to create a 3D model, which includes the 4D referred to time and 5D are the costs of a construction project.

It is the methodology that allows you to create and manage data during the planning, design, construction, operation and demolition of the building, contains information such as:

• Conceptual design
• Structural aspects
• Analysis of costs
• Facilities
• Documentation
• Logistics of construction
• Energy efficiency
• Operation and maintenance
• Possible Renovations
• Materials
• Commercial aspects, etc

It generates a virtual model that contains all the information related to the building during its entire life cycle.

All this information is managed in an open platform to allow for collaborative work in real time.

This information is available to all stakeholders, architects, engineers, constructors, owners, and managers of the building.

Each person who has access to the model developed under the methodology that BIM is part of the method of work,

Each one develops different skills to have access to part of the information that concerns him, so it is important to know the methodology of BIM and its tools.

• BIM allows design teams and construction work more efficiently, capturing in the model data that will improve the operation and maintenance, by doing so, more intelligent and long-lasting building.
• BIM enables teams from different disciplines are able to work in real time in an orderly way and in a collaborative environment, creating greater fluidity of the project.
• Best results thanks to the automatic update of the information is edited, this means that, if you modify a plant is modified automatically in all the sections, elevations and model.
• When you work all on a single model, there is possibility of loss of information caused by the disorganization of the different professionals.
• Streamlines the process because a model is developed for intelligent access to information at any time be required, and automating tasks.
• Allows you to perform simulations in the project to ensure the long term sustainability of the design.
• Interference detection in the different disciplines, Architecture, Engineering and Structure.

PLANNING: It is carried out a planning feasibility of the project where the data is analyzed vs the real world, created the context of the built environment and existing.

DESIGN: Develops the conceptual design, detailed analysis and documentation.

CONSTRUCTION: This phase begins with the manufacture and supply of the materials specified in the model, data logistics of construction and the information may be shared with contractors to ensure the efficiency and comply with the established deadlines.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE: Since the model has all the information of the building, as well as the teams that make it work, it is possible to have a log of maintenance and calendarizarlos.

There are several programs for the development of the model under the methodology BIM programs for modeling, structural design, MEP, software, budgets, analysis, energy performance, etc

Revit®: Plans, designs, constructs, and manages buildings with their different modeling tools, allows to make tests, assessments and rapid analysis of design iterations.

ArchiCAD®: Design, display, documents, and generate construction documents.

Autodesk®Docs: Connects the data flow with the architectural work.

Insiting®: The analysis of performance of the construction and energy.

Naviswork: It allows you to combine the models for interference detection, annotation, comments, and simulation of times 4D.

Tekla Structures: Manages the detailed planning of the production and assembly of all steel structures.

Project: Allows to develop a schedule, ensure resources to tasks, track the progress, manage the budget, and analyze workloads, as well as linking it to other software.

BIM has already become mandatory in some countries of the world such as: united States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Chile, China, etc

The development of the projects under the methodology BIM represents the smarter and more efficiently in this time from design and build to meet the global demand of buildings, as well as the internationalisation of our services.

The ISO 19650 is an international standard that defines the use and management of information throughout the life cycle of the project.

Using BIM (Building Information Modelling), is closely aligned with british standards current 1192, is applicable to projects and built assets of any size.

The methodology BIM states that the collaboration between the participants involved in the project is essential to carry out a development project efficiently.

The rule states that to be able to work in a collaborative way is necessary to have a Common Environment Data (CDE), agreed to collect, manage and distribute information.
