BIM Lean Construction and Its Advantages

Combining Lean construction with BIM is a far- sighted and prudent approach which results in various benefits. BIM lean construction refers to a construction process development which provides high value in the least possible resources. BIM lean construction principle facilitates all types of construction projects. Combining both the techniques helps in meeting unique requirements of each project and promotes smooth workflow.

 

BIM lean construction projects include residential and commercial buildings, industrial architectures, hospitals and medical units, stadiums, airport terminals, bridges, tunnels and various other constructions. Some of the advantages of BIM lean construction are as follows-

• Reduced use of resources
• Enhanced design integrity
• Better flexibility in the projects
• Improved building life cycle maintenance
• Better flow of project information across different stages
• Precise project scheduling and cost optimization
• Efficient and collaborative team efforts of experts
• Stress on sustainability and energy efficiency

 

For comprehensive BIM facilities that meet client requirement, advanced BIM software tools such as Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD, Artlantis, SolidWorks and Bentley Microstation etc. are used. The various BIM services that support lean construction as mentioned below-

• Development of BIM schedules
• Generating shop drawings of buildings
• Development of building floor and roof plans
• MEP coordination
• Photo-realistic rendering of building models
• Facilities management
• Project management
• Cost estimation
