BIM offers many advantages throughout the entire lifecycle of a project. The ability to create a full visual representation of the structure at conception provides all parties with a better understanding of design intent. Developing components within a model prior to fabrication and construction help assure that materials are fabricated correctly when delivered. By combining or overlaying the virtual models from separate suppliers earlier in the process; clashes, quality issues and construction obstacles can be caught and resolved before causing expensive site delays. Utilizing model data for pre-construction scheduling and staging simulation help streamline site operations and improve safety throughout the construction process. As BIM becomes more commonplace, new uses continue to be discovered, pushing efficiencies in steel reinforced concrete construction to ever increasing new levels.
