BIM Mitigation:

BIM (Building Information Modelling) mitigation refers to the process of identifying and resolving potential issues or conflicts in a building project using digital models and analysis. BIM mitigation strategies can help reduce risks, errors, and costs associated with construction projects.

Types of BIM Mitigation:

1. Clash Detection: Identifying potential conflicts between building systems, such as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.
2. Constructability Analysis: Analyzing the constructability of a building design to identify potential issues and optimize construction sequences.
3. Scheduling and Sequencing: Optimizing project schedules and construction sequences to minimize delays and reduce costs.
4. Risk Analysis: Identifying and mitigating potential risks associated with construction projects, such as structural instability or environmental hazards.

Benefits of BIM Mitigation:

1. Reduced Errors: Identifying and resolving potential issues before construction begins.
2. Cost Savings: Minimizing rework, reducing waste, and optimizing resources.
3. Improved Collaboration: Enhancing communication and collaboration among project stakeholders.
4. Enhanced Quality: Improving the quality of construction projects by detecting and resolving potential issues early.

BIM Mitigation Tools:

1. Autodesk Navisworks: A software tool for clash detection, constructability analysis, and project review.
2. Solibri Model Checker: A software tool for model checking and validation.
3. Trimble Navisworks: A software tool for project review, clash detection, and construction sequencing.

By leveraging BIM mitigation strategies and tools, construction projects can be delivered more efficiently, with reduced errors and costs, and improved quality.

00:00How can BIM mitigate construction risks?
00:02BIM makes construction projects safer and reduce the cost.
00:06What are the advantages of making buildings in BIM?
00:09One of the frequently touted benefits of BIM is that it can make construction processes safer.
00:15But what does that actually mean?
00:17How can construction managers use BIM to alleviate construction risks?
00:21Below, we outline how BIM can make your worksite safer, both immediately and in the future.
00:271. BIM will help you plan for safety.
00:301. There is a litany of safety standards that apply specifically to the construction industry, largely dictated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
00:40Luckily, BIM can help with implementation.
00:43BIM can help plan and model tasks sequentially, eliminating common pain points that are largely unpredictable without the help of software.
00:51It also provides a visual representation of the building.
00:54In these BIM-based 4D models, construction planners can pinpoint potential hazards before they are problematic.
01:012. BIM also provides visual risk analysis and safety evaluations.
01:07It can produce detailed reports of site conditions for workers, a great tool for new construction workers who aren't familiar with the worksite.
01:153. BIM can offer granular detail about task-specific assignments.
01:20Construction managers can use this function to avoid hazards before the building process has even begun.
01:264. BIM can help construction managers limit negative project events.
01:315. BIM systems can integrate with construction management software, making it easier for construction managers to cost and time estimate their jobs.
01:415. BIM is most effective when paired with effective project management techniques so that managers can cut down on project delays or failures.
01:495. BIM, overall, cuts down on project liability and risk to the construction firm.
01:546. For construction companies looking to implement BIM on more than just one project, BIM can help reduce cost variability and time between projects.
02:047. BIM makes construction projects safer for the environment.
02:098. Are you a lead lover?
02:11BIM can help construction planners forecast which lead credits are attainable with a new project.
02:16When synced with green construction software, BIM can help identify how your firm can get bonus lead credits for regional environmental priority.
02:269. Interested in a more in-depth analysis of how green a project is?
02:3010. Certain BIM products, like Tali by Autodesk, can calculate your new building's effect on the environment.
02:38Using such plugins with other BIM software can help architects choose which materials are best for the environment.
02:4511. BIM ensures the longevity of a building.
02:4812. Because BIM virtually guarantees that the building's design will be superior to a non-BIM building, the chance of errors dramatically declines.
02:56Over time, it's been proven that BIM increases construction efficiency.
03:02It also provides the backdrop for building improvements.
03:06Once BIM has been set in place, it's much easier for a new contractor to step in and remodel or improve a built building.
03:1313. Not that BIM can't be used for buildings that didn't use BIM in its original construction.
03:19I would suggest that use BIM on large and small projects.
03:23For all type of project and training queries please call us on the numbers provided.
03:2714. It's been a series of discussions with the CIDs and co-subs or conducts and museums on the map.
