Building Information Modeling, or BIM, has resulted in the evolution of the AEC industry in terms of increasing effectiveness in project management and coordination amongst all disciplines involved in the trade for construction projects. Utilization of data-rich information and models have empowered MEP companies in Dubai to make the right decisions when it comes to construction.
BIM has changed how MEP contractors’ access critical information and determine issues. It allows accurate information to be accessed and updated. Therefore, contractors get the right information necessary for structural completion. This information for streamlining processes helps maintain the structural life cycle from design to construction.
BIM ensures risk and waste reduction by connecting MEP workflow, streamlining project deliveries from MEP design system to detailing, and then to installation. This facilitates improvement of MEP design quality, generating a more detailed and accurate model with better estimates and waste and cost reduction in the project as a result. BIM improves take-off and estimation quantity, resulting in minimization of resources because of increased competitiveness in bidding building projects. Using 3D scanners, point cloud data is captured for the final updating of documentation.
The use of BIM allows for information related to wall assemblies, ceiling heights, pipe locations, electrical panel schedule, etc. to be accessed in the same model file which then allows MEP companies in Dubai to resolve conflicts within each discipline for field installation.
Clash identification post design layout is a time-consuming process, impacting 4D scheduling services. In BIM models, errors are identified, corrected, and adjusted accurately prior to finalizing fabrication design.
MEP elements in a project such as ductwork, plumbing pipes, electrical wires etc. with other systems could create conflicts in BIM coordination services. The use of a BIM model can help automate MEP elements activities using clash detection processes, such as soft, hard and 4D workflow.
Information regarding ductwork CFM output, plumbing pipe diameter, gravity system pipe pitch, etc. can be achieved within the BIM Model either off-site or on-site construction. All the accessed information helps in design, making it accurate and detects any errors in the design stage itself.
MEP companies in Dubai use BIM technology to transform the way they used to design and process activities throughout the lifecycle of the construction project. They also coordinate with other disciplines effectively, managing the information flow among them. From planning to installation, BIM models help identify and resolve clashes. Data details in MEP systems can be accurate, updated to save resources and costs of the construction project.
