BIM Benefits for Architects
Silicon EC UK Limited

• Architecture designing services has been a major
  factor driving infrastructure and real estate
  sector. Now, the arrival of BIM is shaping the
  future if architectural plan ning and designing.
  
• Building Information Modeling helps architects
  throughout the design process.
• The architectural BIM models give a clear insight
  to optimize designs as per the requirements of
  the contractors and builders.
• Architectural planning and designing help to
  deliver projects with improved quality and
  efficiency.

• Using Building Information Modeling, architects
  are developing intelligent, 3D models of complex
  projects.
• It gives them a deeper understanding of how the
  building will look and work after the
  construction.
• Architectural 3D models improve collaboration,
  visualization and allow accurate analysis.
• Contractors and builders who use architectural
  BIM models get more work done in less time.
• The 3D visual models of architectural designs
  made it easier to get approvals from authorities.
  
• The construction efficiency also increases as the
  reports for material quantity takeoff, BOM comes
  along with architectural 3D models.

1) Improves Coordination Architectural designing
and drafting improve coordination with structural
and MEP design models. But when BIM models toches
the project- it brings the whole construction
team on one platform. It allows each member to
check architectural layout plans and approve
designs. Overall BIM allows the architects to
save time, cost of rework and gets better results
in lesser time.
2) Track the changes In Building Information
Modeling, contractors and builders can keep a
track on changes and maintain the design
versions. It enhances the transparency and
reliability among the team members. BIM helps you
to include more and better inputs from the
clients. Overall, Building Information Modeling
has set the new standard of designing among
construction companies of all sizes.

3) Elimination of errors Preparation of
architectural engineering designs is a complex
process. The intelligence of Building Information
Modeling makes it easier to spot and solve the
errors. It reduces the chances of the rework and
saves both cost and time. The result is precise
and detailed architectural designs in a more
understanding format.

4) Enhanced Detailing Architectural planning
requires lots of detailing for efficient
construction. The BIM model contains more details
than the architectural 2D drawings and documents.
It has details including information on the
models, quantities, specification and materials
used in the construction. Level of detailing
(LOD) is done as per the AIA standards.
5) Clear Visualization and spatial arrangement
3D floor plan with furniture detail and
architectural layout with building elements is
always better than 2D architectural designs.
Using different colour schemes better
communication is established between architects
and clients.

Beyond coordination and visualization, architects
integrate their architectural designs with MEP
and structural layout to create a virtual
walkthrough and augmented reality for the planned
design. After the design is decided, construction
can be animated in a sequential way with various
LODs as per AIA standards.

Architectural BIM services are beneficial
throughout the construction process
1) Pre-construction period i) Ease of
planning ii) Accuracy in BOM, material
planning and QTS iii)
Getting faster approvals from
tender iv) BIM documentation

Architectural BIM services are beneficial
throughout the construction process
2) On-going construction period i) Tracking
the construction process ii)
Ensuring the minimum material
wastage iii)Avoiding crashes and hazards
iv)Managing materials and
labours

3) Post-construction period i) Useful during
maintenance of the building ii) Useful for
renovation iii) Provide guidance in retrofitting
and refurbishment

• Building Information Modeling also helps in
  environmental planning to make the construction
  project more sustainable.
• Construction activity is one of the main cause of
  environmental pollution. Using architectural BIM
  models to plan the construction reduces the
  adverse impact on the environment by eliminating
  the need for a rework.
• BIM allows the architects to concentrate on their
  creative interior designs. Instead of preparing
  2D architectural drawings, architects can make
  3D, 4D and 5D models by placing intelligent
  objects that contain vital information.
• Before construction work is done on-site, the
  virtual designs are now built-in 3D environment.
  All these benefits of BIM modeling have promoted
  the rate at which architects deliver the designs.
