The world according to BIM
BIM radically improves the quality and speed of the building process by boosting the collaboratiuon between building partners. This innovation helps all parties to save time and avoid expensive mistakes.
Why we all need BIM
Why we all need BIM
BIM offers architects, engineers, contractors and installers a great tool and consultants to maximize their time on the building and save a lot of money by preventing mistakes and the resulting conflicts.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) starts with the creation of an intelligent 3D model that serves as a platform for all building partners to share documents and coordinate the works during the entire lifecycle of a project.
As passive fire protection is a crucial element in the design of a safe and healthy building, Promat offers architects and engineers the BIM-objects they need to integrate their fire safety plan into their BIM design. This process not only prevents errors, it also offers all the information to the owner of the building for maintenance and repair.
Fire Protection and BIM
Fire Protection and BIM
We believe passive fire protection should be fully integrated in a BIM design of a building. If the list of Promat systems and solutions is already included by architects or engineers in the BIM design, all partners in the complex building project can access the information they need at each step of the process. This allows contractors and installers to plan ahead and make sure they have all the materials and tools to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Whenever plans are changed, all building partners are informed simultaneously and can adapt their task to make sure the project is delivered in time at the highest quality.
Plan
Plan
Inform project planning by combining reality capture and real-world data to generate context models of the existing built and natural environment.
Design
Design
During this phase, conceptual design, analysis, detailing and documentation are performed. The preconstruction process begins using BIM data to inform scheduling and logistics.
Build
Build
During this phase, fabrication begins using BIM specifications. Project construction logistics are shared with trades and contractors to ensure optimum timing and efficiency.
Operate
Operate
BIM data carries over to operations and maintenance of finished assets. BIM data can be used down the road for cost-effective renovation or efficient deconstruction too.
Why is BIM important?
Why is BIM important?
According to the UN, the world's population will be 9.7 billion by the year 2050. So the construction must look to smarter, more efficient ways to design and build not just as a means to keep up with global demand but to help create spaces that are smarter and more resilient too.
BIM not only allows design and construction teams to work more efficiently, but it allows them to capture the data they create during the process to benefit operations and maintenance activities.
