An acla:works Article on BIM
Last week, Business Barbados published an online article on BIM (Building Information Modeling), which was written by acla:works director, Brian Lewis. Lewis writes, "If anyone were to take a survey of developers, owners and contractors to determine if their wish lists included more accurate and better coordinated construction drawings with fewer conflicts I feel certain that you would get a resounding response: 'yes, please.'
The construction industry has become a nightmare for many involved simply because construction documents are not properly coordinated and this results in additional cost, waste and delays.
Buildings have become larger and more complex. On the other hand, staff with the necessary experience and competence to coordinate all aspects of the project, are few and far between. The result has been a deterioration of accuracy and poor coordination of construction documents. The consequences of this problem are greater waste, increased delays and additional costs. Owners and developers are now demanding new solutions."
