BIM in design, construction and operations

23 Jul 2021 CW Team

To delve into the innovative solutions BIM can offer and predict the future trends, Construction World Magazine, under the aegis of ASAPP Info Global Group and FIRST Construction Council, organised the CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY SUMMIT virtually on July 22-23, 2021, to identify proven, innovative and globally established construction technologies. The summit is presented by Bentley Systems, with Autodesk as the design and technology partner, and is supported by the India BIM Association.

In the session on ‘BIM in Design, Construction, and Operations’, moderator Yash Pratap Singh, Partner-Major Projects Advisory, KPMG, began the session highlighting, “As far as the BIM penetration is concerned vis-à-vis what the infrastructure market has to offer, my perspective is that we are only scratching the surface right now and this is despite the fact that BIM has been in India for more than a decade now.” Clearly this is a massive untapped market as far the BIM-based system digitilisation is concerned. In fact, considering the current pandemic, it has also heightened the need for digitalisation using BIM and given us the opportunity to leapfrog – whether in the private sector or public sector – to leverage this pandemic and and exploit the full potential of BIM.

If you look at the investments coming up in the country, overall, we need to be better geared to deliver using technologies like BIM, and this will be successful if we have the entire ecosystem – whether it's the government, the private sector organisations, the OEMS, the service providers – come together to make this work because everyone has as a critical role to play and this ecosystem has to work together to make this happen on a much larger scale.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has made a revolution in the way we design, construct and manage our project’s life-cycle. BIM has far and reaching consequences on both building procurement and infrastructure. This recent emergence constitutes one of the most exciting developments in the field of the Built Environment. These advances have offered project teams multi-sensory collaborative tools and opportunities for new communication structures.To delve into the innovative solutions BIM can offer and predict the future trends, Construction World Magazine, under the aegis of ASAPP Info Global Group and FIRST Construction Council, organised the CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY SUMMIT virtually on July 22-23, 2021, to identify proven, innovative and globally established construction technologies.
