An Indian perspective
BIM is next generation construction technology that is changing the face
of design in the construction
industry worldwide. Though relatively new to India, it is picking up rapidly
and gaining popularity amongst architects and developers. The use of BIM is
primarily being driven by practicing architects and consultants in the
industry, who are rightly utilizing the technology to increase work efficiency,
saving time and resources. Engineers and architects are also utilizing this
tool to push the design envelope and explore newer concepts and techniques in
structural services and MEP requirements, as project stakeholders increasingly
use BIM for improved coordination through its design and virtual building
capabilities. A key benefit of BIM is the creation of an atmosphere where
clients, designers, material producers and construction companies can work
together with the goal of achieving the best possible solution. BIM is
not just a technological solution; it helps enable new ways of working
together in a more collaborative and informed process.
In India BIM
is also known as VDC: virtual design and construction (VDC). India is an emerging market with an expanding
construction market and huge potential for large scale residential and
commercial development (because of population and economical growth). It has many
qualified, trained and experienced BIM professionals who are implementing this technology
in Indian construction projects and also assisting teams in the USA, Australia,
UK, Middle East, Singapore and North Africa to design and deliver construction
projects using BIM.
