GIVEN THIS STATISTICS AND THE NEED FOR RAPID AND HIGH-QUALITY RECONSTRUCTION, BOTH UKRAINIANS AND POTENTIAL INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS AND DONORS HAVE QUESTIONS:
THE CORRECT APPLICATION OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
BIM BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
WHAT IS BIM?
BIM is a process that involves the use of information technologies to create a digital representation of a project and manage all information flows throughout its lifecycle. Using three-dimensional modeling, BIM defines the way professionals in the construction industry plan, design, build, and manage buildings and infrastructure in a unified virtual data environment using specialized software.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF BIM?
SPEED
Reducing design time by 40% through digital models
COST SAVINGS
Up to 30% cost reduction due to accurate planning
ACCURACY
95% accuracy in work execution thanks to 3D models
WHY IS BIM CRUCIAL FOR UKRAINE'S RECONSTRUCTION?
EFFICIENT RESOURCE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
BIM enables the creation of detailed digital models, facilitating construction and infrastructure projection to manage resources, save materials, and reduce risks.
MINIMIZING RECONSTRUCTION TIME
Thanks to accurate digital models, BIM accelerates project activities by saving coordination time between different project stakeholders, avoiding errors, and reducing execution time.
OPTIMIZATION OF COSTS AND RESOURCES
BIM enables efficient resource use during reconstruction, reducing costs and maximizing project outcomes.
IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF RECONSTRUCTED OBJECTS
Thanks to detailed models, BIM ensures more accurate and high-quality work execution, reducing the risk of errors and defects.
MONITORING AND ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES
BIM allows real-time response to changes and tracking of results.
BIM LIFECYCLE
1. DESIGN
1. DESIGN
Creating detailed 3D models with integrated laser scanning and geodetic measurement data. Collision analysis helps avoid up to 80% of errors at the design stage, optimizing the placement of engineering systems and structural elements.
2. PLANNING
2. PLANNING
Developing 4D (time) and 5D (cost) models to align work schedules, material costs, and resources. This enables forecasting project timelines and optimizing budgets before construction begins.
3. CONSTRUCTION
3. CONSTRUCTION
Using 4D/5D planning for synchronizing work, materials, and costs. Real-time quality control with BIM models ensures compliance with project requirements.
4. OPERATION
4. OPERATION
Monitoring the condition of reconstructed objects using IoT technologies and BIM models. This includes managing maintenance, energy consumption, and planning repairs to extend building lifespan.
5. RECONSTRUCTION
5. RECONSTRUCTION
Upgrading buildings using BIM to assess structural conditions, plan work, and minimize costs. BIM reduces the environmental impact of reconstruction and optimizes resource use.
EFFICIENCY OF BIM IN DESIGN
WHY IS THIS PROJECT IMPORTANT?
The implementation of BIM technologies is critically important for restoring Ukraine's infrastructure, destroyed by the war. These technologies optimize design, construction, and operation processes, significantly reducing costs and time for reconstruction. Thanks to BIM, we can attract international investments, increase project transparency, and train highly qualified specialists who will ensure the quality restoration of the country and its integration into the European digital space.
