BIM - Enhancing Subcontractors Coordination

BIM - Enhancing Subcontractors Coordination

  • Large projects with high levels of complexity can sometimes engage a large number of subcontractors to handle different portions of construction. Handling & coordinating each subcontractor’s activity can be an extremely tricky task, regardless of the time scale – on a daily basis or for the entire duration of construction. This is particularly true when subcontractors are due to work on same or physically close building parts, where there is insufficient quality in the construction schedule.

    Subcontractors play a key role during BIM based coordination because they are responsible for the development and realization of construction details. This will ensure that BIM technology can play a more effective role in its implementation through the flexible contract provisions.

    BIM provides a collaborative approach to deal with any construction project which intends to save time and reduce costs throughout the supply chain. Becoming a part of the BIM team makes you responsible for providing specific data, feedback, and deliverables based on the model. This stage is where one gets to see – how will their work get utilized in the larger scheme of things. A subcontractor who wants to grow will be able to sense how to mold their services to aid the project’s development speed. This quality will make them a partner in the project, and not just an individual who offers specific services ordered by the general contractors.
