KBS • Building Information Modeling (BIM)
At KBS, the creation of Building Information Models is only the start of the Virtual Construction process. We manage these models to effectively plan, study, and coordinate building design and construction activities.
4D construction simulations add the dimension of time to 3D models, and aid in evaluating workflows on site and tracking progress of the construction schedule.
BIM allows us to visualize conditions that need clarification and serves as a platform to develop solutions for construction details.
Strong communication and collaboration with architects, engineers, and subcontractors is crucial during 3D coordination and clash detection. Upon reviewing the models of each trade simultaneously, we're able to identify conflicts between different building systems and immediately work to find solutions for those issues. As a result, the construction team experiences improved reliability in expected field conditions, minimizing field encountered change orders and schedule delays.
KBS utilizes BIM technology to improve efficiency and productivity as we deliver quality construction, passing on more savings and profitability to our clients.
