Modelling (BIM) solutions can help reduce the capital cost and carbon footprint
by over 20 per cent in the construction sector, says a study conducted by KPMG and RICS School
of Built Environment at Amity University and commissioned by 3D designing
software maker Autodesk, the study said project delays, cost overruns and
liquidity constraints continue to trouble the real estate and construction sectors.
While a number of developed countries across the world have already adopted BIM
to reduce project delays and cost overruns, Indian firms are fast adopting BIM,
it added.
BIM solutions allow users to construct 'smart' and 'computable' three-dimensional (3D) model of the project to enhance its design, construction and operation using REVIT. Firms involved in built environment sector in India are facing significant schedule and cost overrun on account of poor coordination, wastage of material, significant rework, and lack of information sharing etc. BIM, that offers digital representation of the project during its lifecycle, right from planning to execution of the project, is gradually picking up among Indian firms. This can significantly improve operational efficiencies leading to reduction in project time and cost overruns that the sector currently faces.
