BIM Process: What Are The Phases Of BIM Construction?

PHASES OF BIM CONSTRUCTION:

• CONCEPTUALIZATION PHASE

• Design Phase

• Construction Documentation Phase

• Construction Phase

• Operations and Maintenance Phase

CONCEPTUALIZATION PHASE

• THIS IS THE INITIAL PHASE OF THE BIM PROCESS, WHERE THE PROJECT TEAM CREATES A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THE BUILDING USING 3D BIM MODELING SOFTWARE

AUTODESK REVIT

• The team considers various factors such as site analysis, zoning, and building codes to create a conceptual design.

DESIGN PHASE

• The project team creates a more detailed design of the building for architectural, structural, and MEP Services.

• Architects and engineers use BIM software like Revit to create a detailed 3D model of the building, which allows them to identify and resolve any clashes.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION PHASE

• The project team develops construction documents (CD sets), including plans, sections, and elevations, which are used by contractors to build the project.

• Detailed schedules and cost estimates are created by 4D BIM and 5D BIM respectively.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

• The contractors use the BIM model and construction documents to build the project.

• The BIM model is used by the project team to monitor progress and identify any issues.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PHASE

• The BIM model is used throughout the building life cycle for building maintenance and operations.

• It helps to manage building systems, track maintenance, and make modifications to the building over time
