Challenges that Construction Company Should Adopt in BIM BIM (Building Information Modeling) represents a wave of technological changes that have allowed the AEC industry to plan and manage projects much more effectively. With its capability to create a digital representation of a building with accurate geometry and relevant data, BIM technology has brought of a paradigm shift to the AEC industry a|in. It delivers a plethora of benefits such as improving interoperability between teams, usage of a single software program, scheduling, and allowing more efficient co-ordination of construction projects. While BIM, the new buzzword for the construction industry, is seen as a catalyst to revolutionize the future of the AEC industry, there are several reasoned explanations why it is presenting an unparalleled challenge to the industry also. This really is affecting the strategy and speed in which it's embraced by the industry also. A couple of such challenges include: 1) Challenges in Coordinating with Multi-Disciplinary Teams -Though BIM's ability of sharing a model is one of its biggest advantages over an AutoCAD file, one cannot ignore the permission required for adequate sharing of model information posing as a challenge. As multidisciplinary team would work on a single model, collaboration issues could potentially cause delay in project and other problems. 2) Challenges associated with Ownership and Authority- The accountability, ownership and copyright issues of the model are ambiguous. Who will be the owner of the model or responsible for the accuracy of the information fed into the model poses challenging in BIM adoption. 3) Challenges while Replacing 2D or 3D AutoCAD System with BIM Technology- Adopting Building Information Modeling means redefining the approach and the practice of the company along with the requirements of training and upgraded software, as well as the cost of the new software in the first place. You need to ensure compatibility between the internal departments of the business and its own outside clients following the adoption of BIM technology. Technology always is a double-edge sword, Building Information Modeling is no exception. With the aid of an effective methodology and thorough knowledge of the potential of BIM, the challenges faced while implementing BIM could possibly be minimized. BIM has the potential to improve the face of the construction industry by minimizing problems like over-budget and declining productivity pervading the AEC industry. The question whether BIM would be able to reshape the industry has changed to when would BIM reshape the industry? By overcoming the challenges faced in adopting BIM, BIM can do wonders.
