JUNE - 2023CONSTRUCTIONTECHREVIEW.COM8IN MYOPINIONAs a professional in the construction industry, I've always been cu-rious about how to in-crease productivity and sustainability. Early on in my career, I became interested in leveraging open BIM and geospatial standards to increase the sustainability of our projects, and that is when my journey with digitalization began. I soon understood that these technologies could raise productivity and streamline procedures in addition to enhancing the environmental perfor-mance of the built environment.The physical and functional qualities of a facility are represented digitally through building information modeling (BIM). By enabling experts in design, construction, and operations to cooperate and communicate more effectively, streamline procedures, and boost productivity, it is a potent instrument that has revolutionized the construction industry. BIM is, however, the subject of numerous myths that may prevent its implementation. To fully appreciate the value and potential of BIM, it is crucial to distinguish between fact and fiction.Myth 1-- BIM is just about 3D modelingIt's a prevalent misconception that BIM is a tool for making 3D models. BIM is considerably more than just delivering 3D models. BIM is a process enabled by technology that can begins at the conceptual design stage and continues throughout the built asset's entire lifecycle. Stakeholders in design, construction, and operations can procure and deliver structured information models, both graphical and non-graphical which can help them collaborate and communicate more successfully, which increases the precision and effectiveness of the project delivery process. The 3D model could potentially be one of the deliverables (or by-products) of BIM but 3D is definitely not the only one.Myth 2-- BIM is a one-time processBIM is often considered as an add-on TOP 6 BIM MYTHS By Jugal Makwana, Global Director - BIM/Digital Engineering, Royal HaskoningDHV
