Building Mega Structures across UAE Skyline – New Era of BIM Efficacy

Building information modeling is no more the wonder word that the construction industry raved about. Today BIM has become vernacular of professionals working on building design and construction projects for large buildings and complex structures.

The question that construction firms are asking is not about whether to implement BIM or not, now it is all about how it will be executed. The industry has now accepted – rather BIM has time and again proven, that it is the most efficient technology expedited process that helps manage the full lifecycle of a building in the most efficient manner.

The Fall and Rise of Construction Industry in UAE                                                       

The real estate and construction industry in UAE nosedived during the global financial crisis period in 2009. The industry however, is now past that struggle period and is advancing towards a new era of building design and construction.

The UAE construction market is predicted to return to near full capacity with full-fledged adoption of BIM. In Dubai alone, megaprojects worth billions are estimated to be delivered by 2020.

Some of the Most Dynamic Mega Projects in UAE like the Abu Dhabi International Airport’s Midfield terminal building, the Doha Metro and Jeddah’s 1Km tall Kingdom tower; have adopted BIM.

Extracting full benefits of BIM

BIM adoption and its implementation, however is not easily done as said. There are several challenges that may hamper its effective implementation and hence impede the extraction of full benefits from BIM.

Hiring BIM experts can help firms implement BIM across their project lifecycle for construction design and planning, time scheduling, cost estimation, sustainability and facility management, hence extract the full range of benefits BIM offers.
