Innovations are rapidly advancing the AEC and MEP sectors and every phase of the design and build process, resulting in increased productivity, improved schedules, and enhanced safety. But technology adoption is still relatively new for many organizations in the historically slow-to-adopt construction industry. One of the most common misconceptions is that BIM building information modeling and VDC virtual design and construction are interchangeable.
While they are closely related and often interconnected, they are not the same. BIM stands for building information modeling. It refers to a highly accurate, digital representation of the physical characteristics of a building or structure.
Typically, BIM is used to understand the current dimensions of an existing structure, or to examine the design intent on something that has yet to be built. BIM is used to assist in planning and coordination, leading to greater construction efficiencies including reduced rework, lower materials and labor costs, advanced clash detection, and off-site prefabrication.
An additional benefit of BIM is to create a 3D model that allows users to design in a virtual world to better understand relationships between spaces, materials, and various systems within a physical structure, and how real-life elements will impact a building. We can say it is a combination of:. Collaboration requires coordinating two or more people to achieve a common goal.
Hence, it would be best if you had a clear communication strategy, lines of action, measurable goals, and the right tools. Therefore, when all of that is attained, the team has more probability of success on the ongoing task.
In fact, most reworks and mistakes in construction are caused by misinformation, use of outdated data, or delays in document delivery. It seems to fully coordinate every piece of knowledge of everyone involved in a 3D project representation. Where they can nourish the project with information, and everyone else will be notified in real-time. As such, it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility, forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle from inception onward.
On the other hand, VDC is a much broader and complex term to define. Check Out Our Other Articles. What is SpeedCore? February 17, April 9, What is Steel Detailing? April 3, We use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.
