BIM allows for sustainable design – allowing engineers and architects working on your home to access higher tech tools to carefully analyze factors like heat gain, solar, ventilation, and energy efficiency in the actual design. For example, if you want to light your home up using sunlight, the perfect design can be made using BIM tools. Also, efficiency and accuracy can be increased by combining BIM and Energy analysis so that the most environment-friendly methods can be used right from the construction to the maintenance of the house.

After the construction work is done, an aerial scan of the house can provide enough information so that a periodical comparison of the present and previous condition of the house can be made. Doing so will allow any maintenance work to be identified and completed on time with proper allocation of resources required.		BIM can also be of use post the construction of your home.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been around for over a decade. The tech has revolutionized the way the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Industry works. A vast majority of BIM service requirements have been for large-scale non-residential buildings like office spaces, stadiums, hospitals, malls and other large-scale commercial projects. But that doesn't mean that its scope is limited exclusively to them. Though not very common, BIM is also used for residential construction and there are huge benefits to doing so. Tim Beckman, Partner at CG Visions says, “Each building sector has its own complications of which BIM can successfully remedy”. This includes residential buildings too. Even you can use this amazing tech for your dream home. Let us look at some reason why BIM needs to be implemented for residential construction.

#1 Increases Productivity through coordination

BIM tools generate highly structured information with multiple dimensions that can be easily accessed and understood by all the parties involved in the project. This ensures that every person in the construction site will be doubt free as to his/her duties and responsibilities. Any time that would have been wasted can be saved and higher productivity can be achieved. The construction workers themselves will also be more motivated to work as they will be very clear regarding their tasks. The result of all this will be that you will be moving into your new home at the agreed upon time, maybe even earlier.

#2 Need to make a quick change? No Problem

Any architect will tell you just how burdensome it is to make changes to a design drawn on paper and even to a [https://www.2dcaddrafting.com/gallery-cad-drafting-detailing.php 2D CAD drawing]. What makes it even more difficult is that an alteration in one element demands a series of changes to everything else that it is connected to. Wouldn't it be so convenient and awesome if all the secondary changes could be automatically made? And all that in just a matter of seconds? BIM can do that with ease! Making use of this feature ensures that you are satisfied with the design of your new home before the construction begins.

#3 Perfect 3D Views

In the industry, 2D views are slowly becoming memories owing to a lot of limitations. Seriously, nobody likes to look at 2D images hoping to get a close to reality picture of their future home. Gladly, we now have a lot more interesting option for us in the form of ultra-realistic 3D visuals generated using BIM Tools. These drawings are near to perfect depictions of the of real thing right down to the smallest detail. In a way, you are seeing the future. And with Virtual Reality (VR) within everybody’s reach, things just got a little more interesting.

#4 Save Money

BIM will save you a lot of money in so many ways. Love at first site (with a design) doesn't normally happen in the industry and rebuilding something is not something that you’d easily consider. BIM can generate product schedules for windows, doors and other products so that you can make orders for the right amount and kind of resources.

From the above points, it has been made clear that BIM is extremely useful for residential homeowners. The technology can be put to use from the beginning of the project to the demolition of the house. With proper implementation of the technology, people can have the dream home that they desire.
