Workflows in BIM (Building Information Modeling) are structured processes and procedures that enable the creation, management, and use of 3D digital models in construction projects, where a team is responsible for generating and supervising a model.
Their purpose is to enhance communication among different professionals involved, reduce errors, and improve efficiency in the design, planning, and execution of a project.
Advantages of Using Workflows in BIM
- Facilitate real-time data integration
- Improve collaboration among multidisciplinary teams
- Reduce costs caused by errors or rework
- Provide better visualization of the project before construction, aiding decision-making
- Minimize compliance-related issues
There are various types of BIM workflows, tailored to the needs of each project and team. Some focus on the coordination of disciplines (architecture, structures, and installations), while others prioritize data management and integration with other technologies.
Unlike CAD or software development workflows, which focus on producing static files or lines of code, BIM digital models aim to integrate and evolve throughout the project.
To achieve an efficient BIM workflow, it is advisable to have specialized BIM consulting that guides the implementation of standards, tools, and appropriate methodologies. Poor management can lead to modeling errors, incompatibilities, or coordination issues that affect the project’s success.
