BIM & Digital Construction
Building Information Modelling — a 3D, data-rich model used to coordinate design, quantities and construction.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) goes beyond a 3D drawing — it's a data-rich digital model of a building that different disciplines can coordinate through, extract quantities from, and reference well after construction is complete.
What this covers
- 3D modelling
- Design coordination between disciplines
- Clash detection before construction starts
- Quantity extraction to support BQs
- Construction planning and sequencing
- Project visualization
- Documentation
- Facility management after handover
Potential advantages
- Fewer design clashes discovered on site
- More accurate quantities feeding into cost estimates
- Clearer visualization for clients before construction starts
- A useful reference model for the building's operational life
Considerations
- • Requires the design team to work in compatible BIM software
- • Most valuable on larger or more complex projects — may be disproportionate for small, simple buildings
- • Benefits depend on disciplined use throughout the project, not just at design stage
This page is general guidance for planning purposes. Suitability depends on your project type, site conditions, local availability, design requirements, regulations, contractor expertise, budget and timeline — a TEKEEY engineer can confirm the right approach for your specific project.
