Conconcreto is more based on digital technology to achieve your goals – including software such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM Collaborate Pro, Civil 3D, Navisworks and Revit, what is alone to design and build a new, circular way. were of crucial importance for projects such as Nueva Calle 13.
According to Trujillo, Trujillo was particularly important. In dense urban environments such as Bogotá, building roads and bridges means navigating a large number of underground supply companies that offer citizens, including sewers, water pipes, power lines and telecommunications networks, critical services. By visualizing projects before BIM in the stakeholders that may be affected, which may be affected on the ground and can easily share the plans, BIM helps engineers and builders to avoid collapse, the unnecessary time, costs and projects for the waste of projects can increase.
“Projects that are designed and executed with the BIM methodology projects without BIM.” It is a big difference. “
BIM not only makes projects more efficient. It also makes them more transparent, which is particularly important for public projects that receive tax money. “In Colombia, these projects of control agencies and people are generally constantly standing,” says Trujillo. “BIM is a really good way to make projects clearer for everyone involved: Where is the project? Where does the money go? How is the general contractor? You can use BIM to communicate what is going on in the project. This will help more people to deal with the project, which leads to more transparency. “
According to the IDU, the introduction of BIM was robust. 92% of the new infrastructure projects in Bogotá optimized project processes and performance by BIM. However, the support of partner companies on their digital transformation trip is associated with challenges. “The understanding that BIM goes beyond software or a database was a pillar within the company and outside of it,” says José Javier Suárez, Idus Director for Urban Development. “Resistance to changes also implies the understanding of the difficulties of the traditional type of projects. For this reason, the IDU is working on training processes for the implementation of BIM and Tools that enable management. “
From the perspective of sustainability, BIM's most important by -products are data. “The first step with sustainability and circularity is the measurement, because it can know that they improve”, steel and other materials. “Without BIM, it will be almost impossible to measure where they are and how they run.”
According to Trujillo, BIM can have even greater effects on the scale that determines that up to 80% of the data generated by the construction industry is not used. “If you think about the retail industry, the financial industry and the healthcare industry, they used more and more data and are carrying out more and more analyzes. We're not there yet, ”he continues. “As an industry, we still lack a lot of structured data that we can analyze to make better decisions.”
