The world does not stand still, it is constantly improving, new discoveries appear, and new technologies are developed. So in the construction industry, fundamentally new design approaches appear, which consist of creating a computer model that carries all the information about the future object.
In this situation, Synchro 4D Bim services in Australia are confidently moving towards in order to best optimize all processes of implementing objects and their visualization for customers.
Let's figure it out.
What is Synchro 4D Bim service?
Synchro 4D Bim service is the addition of another dimension to 3D modelling – time.
The 4D model combines the 3D model of the object and its construction schedule, thus indicating the existence of certain elements in a certain period of time.
This allows for a visual demonstration of the construction of various objects not only in space but also in time. The entire process of building construction is shown as an animated video with the ability to pause and write comments. It also takes into account the construction equipment used, various mechanisms, storage locations for materials, the movement of equipment and workers around the construction site, etc. This modelling can be called "construction visualization", as it allows for the progress of the construction of the object to be shown to all interested participants in the construction project.
Stages of Synchro 4D Bim service
Preparing a 3D model using 2D drawings or BIM models (including architecture, structure and MEP information)
Preparation of a construction schedule that includes all design work
Linking 3D/BIM objects to design work using linking elements (e.g. work title, layer, object name, etc.)
4D model update and support
How do you apply Synchro 4D BIM at different stages of construction?
Project Preparation: Strategic Project Planning at the Project Appraisal Stage.
Project development and pre-construction work: 4D models can improve the technical feasibility of a construction project and identify the benefits of construction processes.
Construction: 4D models are used to determine time frames, coordination and technical implementation of the project. Here you can understand the specific time and work of the contractor at a given stage, of the construction process. The model can be used to control the current construction process and compare actual work with planned ones for further adjustment.
What are the benefits?
Just as the transition from paper design to CAD, the transition from CAD to BIM opens up many additional opportunities and benefits:
➭ Visual and detailed analysis of the technology of work execution
➭ Visual and detailed analysis of the work process
➭ Meet scheduled start and finish dates in a more efficient and consistent manner
➭ The ability to identify and diagnose project risks and problems in advance and propose solutions to eliminate them
➭ The ability to more effectively monitor all aspects of the work through video footage and illustrations of each stage of construction
➭ Logistics optimization
➭ Optimization of construction site zones
➭ Possibility of using materials for presentations
Thus, the use of 4D modelling not only reduces the number of errors but also increases productivity and significantly improves the quality of the final product.
How to implement Synchro 4D Bim services in the company?
To implement 4D, it is necessary to have a minimum base in the form of a 3D model. 4D modelling tools have functionality for developing schedules, but if the company has already implemented the calendar-network planning methodology, then it is not necessary to switch only to using 4D. You can combine software for developing a schedule and use 4D to visualize schedules.
The person responsible for implementation is the team leader, who is able to build interaction processes between teams from different departments to create a unified information environment. This could be the head of the planning department, the BIM manager, or a higher-level manager. The 4D modelling technology itself is usually provided by products such as Navisworks from Autodesk or Synchro from Bentley.
What are the key data to study to find the ideal BIM consultant?
It is impossible to list the best BIM providers, as they are so numerous and diverse. However, there are a few important criteria to consider when determining whether a consultant can meet your needs, whether you are an architect, materials manufacturer, plumber, engineer, etc.
(1) Communication and listening
A BIM provider is not simply a consultant to whom you delegate the modelling of a model or the management of a project. In reality, they must be a real partner who should understand your needs, adapt to your corporate culture, be an educator with employees who are not very familiar with the BIM environment, etc.
(2) Areas of expertise
Building Information Modeling concerns so many professions in construction and design that it is almost impossible for an external service provider to master every type of BIM project. It is therefore important to choose a consultant who has technical and legislative skills, as well as experience in the field that concerns you. As the provider:
▶ Does the service provider claim to be a specialist in Synchro 4D field?
▶Can he prove his expertise by carrying out projects similar to yours and by making recommendations?
▶ Does he master Synchro 4D?
These will identify that the person is expertise in this field.
(3) The type of services offered
It is also important to know that not all service providers have a similar offer in terms of services. While some have a team that is sufficiently developed to offer training. So take the time to define the needs of your project before setting up an initial list of potential service providers.
Also, look at the details of each service offered:
➮ does the consultant only model existing buildings or can he work on a project from scratch?
➮ Is he only specialized in design or does he offer project monitoring during the operational phase?
➮ Can he offer you personalized training or does he only train you in the most widely used software?
➮ Can he provide you with a BIM Manager dedicated to managing your construction site or is he a consultant who works on several projects simultaneously?
(4) The cost of the service
Before choosing, know about the price ranges charged by BIM service providers on their website. Since each collaboration is different, consultants must understand the needs of their clients before editing a list of missions, and the resulting quote. This is why it is wise to contact several companies or independent consultants before making a final choice, to compare the services in detail, as well as the prices.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it can be said that Synchro 4D Bim is undoubtedly an important innovative breakthrough. It allows a high degree of probability to optimize production processes, visualize construction, and solve problems of economic efficiency of construction of objects. Many believe that this technology is the future. Therefore, to implement the best quality service on your website, contact Bim Technologies.
