TRANSPORTATION
BCR contributes vital expertise to transportation projects like LRT and MRT, ensuring BIM models are prepared at the earliest stage for efficient project delivery.
Our expertise as a one-stop centre for the BIM industry has become an integral part of route construction projects.
HIGH-RISE BUILDING
In the construction of high-rise buildings, BIM technology is a critical scope that requires close attention. Numerous processes must be executed through BIM before the actual building can be constructed.
To ensure successful project delivery, BIM services such as 3D modelling, Revit model validation, and execution planning must be meticulously prepared, reducing errors and improving efficiency during construction.
RESIDENTIAL
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is now widely used to model and design buildings of all types and sizes. In its early days, BIM was often perceived as suitable only for large, complex structures, and most early adopters focused on applying the technology to such projects.
Today, however, BIM is increasingly being applied in residential projects, marking a significant shift in the construction industry. Importantly, BIM for residential design can be adopted effectively even by small firms, provided it is implemented with the right preparation and strategic planning.
The success of any BIM project depends on selecting the right tools and executing a well-structured transition plan. Ultimately, this planning is a matter of sound management.
HOSPITAL
As the requirements for healthcare facilities are growing in size and complexity, acceptance and adoption of BIM is also increasing. Here is why BIM technology is important in building hospitals.
1. Converting Visualization into Reality – Augmented Reality: The real-world environment elements are augmented by the computer-generated visuals and used to communicate design details and intent exactly as conceptualized. Here with BIM at their disposal, architects, contractors and civil engineers can come together and communicate the appeal, aesthetics, constructability and every other detail of the project to ensure that the design translates into exactly as visualized.
2. BIM – A Lean Approach: Lean construction deals with reducing the wastage of talent, resources, on-site activities, reducing the need for rework, and hence reducing in wastage of time and money. BIM makes processes efficient and allows a streamlined construction process where the emphasis lies on performance measurement and its optimization. Here BIM is the driving force behind efficient healthcare facility construction project management, as it helps streamline the supply chain of materials, reduce waste, and deliver high value to clients via efficient design and construction.
3. Resolving Complexities with VDC Efficacies: Now, as we already mentioned, the more complex a project, the more deep-rooted and far-reaching the BIM benefits. Higher collaboration between design and construction teams is enabled and even the most complex process can be easily devised and easily communicated using VDC (virtual design and construction) efficacies of BIM.
UNDER-GROUND UTILITIES SERVICES
BIM technology for underground applications integrates data on surface structures, such as buildings, and subsurface infrastructures, such as pipes, along with details of the surrounding ground, the associated soil and rock properties and the groundwater regime into a single framework.
INTERIOR DESIGN
BIM application can provide interior designers such as simulation, analysis, design processes and solutions with team members. Furthermore, some interior designers also use BIM to organize, document data and optimise detailed information in solving the problem in the development process.
Building Information Modeling is a technology system that makes it possible for architects to create a digital simulation of building design making the detailed information necessary for the execution of the whole project effectively manageable throughout the entire project lifecycle.
FACTORY
Building product manufacturers design and make products that will go inside a building, such as windows, doors, wall panels, and HVAC equipment. Autodesk’s Building Information Modeling (BIM ) exchange tools help building product manufacturers increase their sales opportunities by providing BIM-ready models of their products to architects and construction professionals. When building product manufacturers get their products specified in a building project, they are far more likely to be asked to bid for that project.
The building and construction industry is embracing 3D to accelerate projects, reduce waste, etc. They are looking for building solution providers who can connect to their way of working (that is, 3D workflows). You will be at a disadvantage moving forward if the products you design and make are not available in a 3D format.
The Product Design & Manufacturing Collection includes both AutoCAD and Inventor. You can use your current 2D AutoCAD files as the basis of 3D models in Inventor, which in turn can be converted to BIM objects.
PETROL STATION
Cost compression initiative utilizing BIM for Petronas Petrol Station asset lifecycle to optimize the overall costs during the Design, Construction and Operation stages.
Petrol stations and integrated pipe galleries involve many pipelines, and the need for civil, electrical, fire protection, drainage, and other professional collaborative design and construction work, CAD design brings great challenge to the traditional, and BIM technology with the advantages of the high degree of visualization, collaborative convenient, in the design of gas station and integrated pipe gallery has great application value. Based on this, this paper mainly analyzes the design and application of BIM technology in petrol stations and integrated pipe galleries.
INDUSTRIALIZED BUILDING SYSTEM
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital depiction of a developed facility that provides an essential line of ‘integration’ in the Industrialised Building System (IBS). BIM, according to the researchers, can help IBS building projects save money and improve budgeting and cost estimating. In the case of the IBS project, BIM can improve the design process. The building industry in Malaysia, on the other hand, is not progressing as predicted, contributing the least to economic productivity. In relation, BIM adoption would be a key factor in the breakthrough development of the construction industry in terms of the productivity and efficiency of the project delivery process. Thus, the objectives of this paper is to determine the benefits of using BIM in IBS construction and to identify the challenges of using BIM in IBS building in Malaysia. In Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, a questionnaire survey was given to 93 Grade 7 IBS contractors with BIM experience, 44 of them answered, resulting in a 47.3 per cent response rate. According to the findings, the top five benefits of BIM implementation in the IBS industry are visualisation of design, improved cost estimating and budgeting, monitoring and controlling cash flow and cost, installation process, and initial work process, while the top five challenges of implementing BIM in the IBS construction industry in Malaysia are high costs for BIM training, BIM tools and experts, and lack of intellectual property protection. The outcome indicates that implementing BIM in the IBS industry benefits the whole project delivery process from design to installation as well as cost performance. However, financial and legal issues are the main challenges for BIM implementation in the IBS industry. Thus, this study is significant in addressing both the benefits and challenges of implementing BIM in the IBS industry to the stakeholders and provides a perspective to catalyse the development of BIM and the IBS construction industry.
