BIM: Benefits for Architects

An architect is one of the most important job doers when it comes to creating a building as they make up for the design of the infrastructure. With the use of traditional 2D CAD, they had to not only generate the design but communicate it effectively with the client and other team members, and then redo the design as needed to reach the final plan. But with Architectural BIM Modelling Services having the collaborative approach and 3D models, the overall process becomes simpler in terms of design control, speed, and quality. This 3-Dimensional BIM model brings visual representation on a single platform from various disciplines like structural, mechanical, etc. These models are linked together and are identified for interference and made free of clashes at the early stage, which makes the remaining stages more streamlined and effective. Due to this collaborative approach, one of the major advantages that come is the comprehension of each discipline by the other disciplines as they maintain constant communication with respect to the changes that occur during the design stage and final model. This reduces the overall duration of the design phase considerably along with enhancing the quality. 

Some of the Key advantages for an Architect using Architectural BIM Services are: 

1. With BIM there is an improvement of communication thereby sharing of information with everyone involved in the project more systematically. This will directly help reduce the errors and affect the quality in the construction stage.
2. During the construction phase, BIM brings about enhanced collaboration between the owner and the design teams. Using the documentation derived from the digital model the architect becomes the controlling entity and a communication tool between the contractor and the client. 
3. With collaboration involved all the different stakeholders are on the same page which was tougher with traditional systems. This means that everyone has access to the same data at the same point thereby ensuring consistency that has a direct impact on the efficiency and timeline of the project. With BIM the project is streamlined and finished in-time.
4. When the above things for the project are in place achieving accuracy and precision are not difficult. So, with Architectural BIM Rendering, the accuracy and precision are never a problem, because there is accountability by having to see the building infrastructure visually with all the details presented via walk-throughs. 
5. When the clashes are removed, re-works are gradually decreased. There is the efficiency with respect to time-lime, material, and labor which will surely impact the costing of the project. The overall project cost is thus reduced.
