BIM is just beyond traditional 3D modelling software. It forms a digital representation of a building around its geometry, data, and functional characteristics. This 3D model works as a central source of information, accessible to all participants in a project from anytime, anywhere. In today’s world, every field is going to separate, and professionals in these specific industries are solely developing standards. Business fields like real estate, construction, medicine, tourism, etc. have their standards; as per this, they operate. In the real estate industry, BIM plays a major role in gaining profitable income as an outcome during all phases of project construction. Thus, the most common benefits of implementing BIM in the real estate-related sector are time and cost savings, along with the excellent quality of the buildings. Hence, from planning, designing, and constructing the project to handing it over to facility management as a final stage, BIMLOD becomes advantageous.
Advantages of BIM in Real Estate:
- Improved Collaboration: BIM enhances collaboration between owners, architects, engineers, and contractors, leading to a continuous workflow and conflict reduction.
- Enhanced Design and Decision-Making: By using 3D visualizations, clash detection is possible. It enables us to make informed decisions about informed design, the performance of buildings, optimizing space utilization, and aesthetic features.
- Cost and Time Savings: BIM helps with correct cost estimation along with scheduling and resource allocation of raw materials. This leads to fewer errors, faster project completion times, and waste reduction.
- Facility Management and Maintenance: In the post-construction stages, BIM models may be used for facility management. The embedded data helps to deal with space management, maintenance planning, and cost analysis during the lifecycle of the project.
- Sustainability and Green Building Design: The BIM model enables simulations to evaluate energy performance, day-lighting, and environmental impact on the implemented design. Thus, it promotes sustainable construction and supports achieving green building certifications.
- Marketing and Leasing: BIM Lod models may be converted into immersive 3D visualizations for marketing as well as leasing purposes. This improves understanding of the building's functionalities and allows potential tenants to tour the property.
- In-Place Families The in-place family is quite similar to the loadable or component family. The only difference is that they are created directly for the project in an exclusive manner. That’s why these families cannot be exported to other projects. Since this Revit family is created by the user instead of the software system, it allows architects to create organic forms not part of pre-defined Revit families. Thus, the in-place Revit family is independent of project requirements as well as specific conditions.
