Harnessing The Power Of Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Written by BuildingPoint SouthEast | May 23, 2022 8:22:00 PM

With Building Information Modeling (BIM), companies can more quickly focus on the important tasks ahead. However, making the most of a BIM takes a bit of effort on the part of the company, especially when it comes to redundant work processes. Here is how to use BIM correctly.

 

The Essential Ways to Streamline Processes

Minimizing busy work and redundancy in your operations is critical, as it gives you and your employees more leeway. Attributes to use BIM correctly include the following:

  • Go Digital: To make the most of any digital solution, you have to transfer most of your data and processes to digital equivalents. Paperwork, though tangible, is inefficient compared to digital processes. Many digital methods can reduce the amount of double entry and data entry you and your employees have to accomplish, reducing your daily workload significantly. Digital data also makes your information easier to integrate into other software solutions for analytical purposes.
  • Organize Data: Switching to digital data is an important first step, but it is not the last you will have to take. Organizing this information so it is easily findable and accessible is another important factor in the process. Without organization, you gain nothing by going digital. Use a logical organization system that you and your employees can quickly implement moving forward.
  • Use Mobility: Mobile and mobile-friendly computing capabilities are essential in the modern world, specifically cloud computing. Cloud computing, also known as internet-based computing, allows you to access shared resources anywhere at any time. This is essential for fieldwork, as it allows employees to access business information on the go. It also allows you to communicate information with your staff from anywhere at any time.
  • Integrate: This last step is often the most difficult for businesses, but it is the most important. Make sure the software you have uses, stores and shares your information in a way that is useful for your business. Without such software, you will be stuck doing the same redundant busywork you were doing with your paper processes.
