7 BIM Trends for the Public Sector

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way both people in general and private segment co-operate to outline, convey, take care of issues, and build better projects faster and at less cost. As BIM training practices and technologies keep on developing, what does the future hold?

From mobile-enabled BIM to improving the construction of building materials, we have explores the Top 7 BIM Trends that are Game Changers for the Public Sector.

1) Mobility :- According to McGraw Hill’s latest Smart Market report on the adoption of

BIM, mobile access to BIM models is a major priority for project stakeholders and contractors.

To help keep pace with this prediction, users can take advantage of mobile-ready BIM tools like Autodesk BIM 360.

2) 3D Printing :- According to Gartner, the 3D printing industry is set to boom in 2015, with

worldwide shipments expected to grow 98%, followed by a doubling of shipments in 2016. “

3D printing is a real, viable and cost-effective means to reduce costs through improved designs, streamlined prototyping and short-run manufacturing.”

3) 3D Laser Scanning :- Laser scanning works by capturing the shape and appearance of a building or

structure with a laser then converting that data into what’s known as a point cloud.

This point cloud can be imported into a BIM model using reality capture software such as Autodesk Recap.

4) Energy Performance Modeling:- Energy modeling is one reason for the growth of BIM, but until recently it has

been a time-consuming and labor-intensive process Green Building Studio is one such solution.  Revit users can also take advantage of green building tools.

5) Facilities Management :- Using BIM during the planning and design phases, it is now possible to retain

valuable information and relationships about the various components that comprise a building.

6) Prefabrication :- Construction requires a high degree of accuracy, most notably in assembling

mechanical, electrical and plumbing components.

7) Bring BIM Models to Life on the Job Site:- A 3D world view on a mobile 2D device with themes such as GPS or visuals

integrated into the real world view.  Using an iPad or smart phone, augmented reality software, like the Autodesk

Infra Works 360 mobile app, brings BIM models to life on the job site.
