BIM Models within the project Life Cycle

Within the BIM work philosophy, there has always been talk about the idea of working on a single model during the life cycle of a project, which would facilitate collaborative work and the unique management of information, taking all the data of a project constructive BIM. Not everything in this idea is true, we must really bear in mind that, to have an answer, we must first ask a question or need and for many questions there should be many answers.

 

If a BIM Model is taken, as a response to a specific need for information, at a certain moment within the life cycle of a project, we must know how the need for it was formulated. The secret to managing the specific needs of a project well is to know its phases, these are usually:

1) Programming

2) Conceptual Design

3) Detailed Design

4) Analysis

5) Documentation

6) Manufacturing

7) 4D analysis or Programming

8) 5D Quantification Analysis

9) Operation and Maintenance

An example of the variety of models that can be found in a construction project under BIM processes:

1) Structural BIM Modeling

2) Revit MEP BIM Modeling

3) BIM Coordination Model

4) Architectural BIM

5) Bim Shop Drawings

6) Point Cloud BIM Services

7) BIM Prefabrication Model

8) Structural Design Model

Each of these models has its own needs, which in turn will generate its own responses, the development of these requires the management of protocols and mandates that may vary according to the type of model, for example protocols of Architectural BIM Model vs BIM coordination model can have considerable differences when modeling them, although they share many fundamental points, in order to realize them they must be well defined and documented.

There are also analysis models that allow extracting the information deposited to the BIM model, in order to determine if the model works properly, the clearest example is the BIM coordination model, where the models of the different disciplines are merged to confirm that there is no there is no problem of collisions between the different components.

In conclusion, the idea of a single central model within a BIM scheme may not be entirely true. Different BIM models allow us to answer specific issues supported by specific techniques and strategies. So it is necessary that BIM Model falls into expert hands to give the appropriate management to each of these models to ensure the effectiveness of the information, the management of good practices and the success of the BIM project.
