Omnibuild believes detailed design is where BIM collaboration should shine brightest. Performing regular coordination meetings with different participants of the project allows for every participant of the project to be involved in the process and provide their feedback on possible issues or setbacks. It’s also highly recommended to perform interference checks and clash detections on a regular basis. Some might say that this is a time-consuming process, but correcting a previously undetected error in an existing building takes way more time and resources than finding it at the design phase and fixing it before the construction even gets to that point.
The design phase is also where the BIM model could be used in several different ways, and not just its original purpose. The existence of BIM process management allows for a BIM model to be used in scheduling, elevations, walkthroughs, sections, and many other processes -potentially saving a lot of time and money within that project.
