The interest of the European Union (EU) in promoting the BIM methodology is based on the identification of a substantial potential to generate significant economic, social, and environmental benefits. This set of technologies integrates process improvements and digital information, enhancing project outcomes for clients as well as better utilization of assets.
The implementation of BIM is a very strong trend in the digital transformation of the architecture and construction sector. This is not just a regional trend but a global practice in expansion. Various reports project that a broader adoption of BIM will generate savings of between 15% and 25% in the global infrastructure market by 2025.
Benefits of BIM
Among its benefits are:
- Strategic knowledge for making informed decisions about buildings and public infrastructure
- Improved project planning
- Risk reduction
- Better management of building throughout its lifecycle
Furthermore, while the BIM methodology is primarily applied to new construction projects, it can also be applied to renovation, refurbishment, and maintenance projects, which constitute a significant part of the construction sector.
It is estimated that in the coming years, a 10% saving in the construction sector across Europe can be achieved. Importantly, the benefits will not only be economic but also significant in developing greater resource efficiencies and ecological sustainability.
There is an opportunity for companies that align with this common strategic approach at the European level. Therefore, companies that utilize BIM within their frameworks could benefit in public tender processes and procurement methods.
In light of this, it is worth noting that at Acero Estudio, as specialists in BIM consultancy, we have found that the best practices for adopting the BIM methodology are those implemented progressively, allowing organizations to gain experience while minimizing errors.
