Leveraging constructible BIM beyond the design office

As BIM has evolved, the constructible 3D models at its heart have become increasingly robust. A state-of-the-art, constructible 3D model produced by skilled professionals across every phase of the construction workflow is bursting with construction data that can be referenced and even updated in real time in the field. But how many BIM adopters are actually leveraging the 3D model beyond the design office? All the data in the world is not going to help anyone if it can’t be quickly and easily shared, discussed, understood, and integrated into every phase of the construction workflow. In the office, the ability to openly share constructible models is required so that different trades can coordinate properly, visualize better and detect and resolve issues even before construction begins on site. On the field, accurate, up-to-date data, high LOD constructible models are needed so they can determine how to proceed with the build and to avoid rework, wastage of time and material. With Tekla BIM, you can utilize its 3D constructible models as the single source of truth right from conceptual planning in the office all the way through to execution of the project, without the need for drawings.
