BIM: your digital design and construction partner
Digitalisation and BIM have been making inroads for some time, including in the design and construction world. Multiple parties work together on complex projects, from design to beyond delivery. This continues over the entire life cycle in DBFM constellations. Digital applications noticeably increase efficiency, time savings, and economic return, even once the project is in use. Sweco leads this process and provides support in several areas: as innovator, coordinator, and consultant.
The benefits are known, yet BIM still has room for growth
BIM offers remarkable improvements for the quality and sustainability of the end result. It facilitates an integrated approach to design and construction that allows all parties involved to better deploy their specific know-how. Including the client, whose expertise as an end user is indispensable for a successful project.rnrnA recent survey found that 51.5% of respondents use BIM for sustainability, for example to measure energy consumption, carbon footprint, and material life cycle [source]. BIM also ensures more accurate and qualitative design, improves coordination and cooperation between all parties, and delivers cost-effective results. Despite this, the majority of companies still only use BIM for half of their projects.
BIM is much more than 3D design
We bring BIM and project management closer together, from our inherently integrated project approach. This is how we translate your expectations into an optimal technical elaboration. Our BIM experts support you in three main areas:
- Innovation: we encourage internal innovation through our ‘Innovation Cell’ and incorporate new tools in our approach to projects
- Project support: we offer BIM process management and BIM coordination for your projects
- Advisory services: we act as BIM advisor in your projects or support your digital transformation
Within those main areas, you can call on our BIM experts for the following:
- BIM advice: independent advice and guidance on implementing BIM, tailored to your specific needs, wishes, and goals
- BIM process management: ensures proper cooperation and communication between project partners by establishing and adhering to a BIM protocol and implementation plan.
- Information management: supports project managers in building and distributing building model information in a structured way, checking extracts, and validating digital requirements.
- BIM coordination: detects and resolves clashes between different BIM models to avoid failure costs and problems during the construction phase.
- BIM implementations: helps you get started with your BIM models or data yourself and guides the growth of BIM within your organisation.
- Training and support: practical training on using digital models, from building and managing models in Revit to consulting them in Navisworks, ACC, and more.
- Digital Twins/Facility Management: creates and maintains a digital copy of your building, allowing you to manage it optimally and reduce overall management costs.
- Visualisations: we make your design lifelike using powerful visualisations. Materials, lighting, and mood become tangible in 3D images that bring the space convincingly to life. Panoramic renders let you look around freely and experience an initial feel of the project. From there, the experience can grow further towards virtual reality or dynamic video renderings. This makes the design an interactive experience, as if you were walking through the building even before the foundation stone has been laid.
Digital processes for the entire life cycle
BIM has quietly become an indispensable component in the smooth realisation of projects. It assists in designing and building and supports project management. Throughout the life cycle, BIM remains a key partner for facility management, renovation, repurposing, and conversion.
Sweco is a pioneer in the digitisation of the design and construction world. In a continuous drive for improvement and cooperation, we aim to be a strategic partner for customer-oriented and quality digital services. We are happy to support and advise you in your digital processes, whether or not these are linked to a project.”,”_content_blocks_0_content”:”field_5f8060acc98da”,”content_blocks_0_buttons_alignment”:”buttons-wrapper–left”,”_content_blocks_0_buttons_alignment”:”field_5f8061b1d6330″,”content_blocks_0_buttons”:””,”_content_blocks_0_buttons”:”field_5f8061b3d6331″,”content_blocks”:[“one-column”],”_content_blocks”:”field_5f806033c98d7″},”mode”:”auto”} /–>
