In the past few years, there has been a tremendous change seen with the AEC industry in terms of having sustainability and being one of the biggest contributors in the construction sector. The current market of BIM has bought a great number of opportunities that have helped the contractors, sub-contractors, general contractors, and project owners to view the BIM-created model in real to have a better world for tomorrow.
The important aspects that are been addressed by MaRS Trans USA LLC when working on reliable, sustainable, and data-driven construction projects, that have a huge amount of BIM contribution in it. We are discussing these important questions that will emphasize how we are working to take BIM to next level and how it is a sustainable market too.
What exactly is Sustainable Construction?
The main aim of sustainability in construction in today’s time is to meet all the basic needs and requirements of present projects like housing, infrastructure, and working environments. All these are meant to be known with the process of not compromising the ability of future generations and meeting it with the needs when the right time comes. The elements that are incorporated into having a sustainable construction are with regards to economic efficiency, nature-based performance, social responsibilities, and extending the technical support and innovation that are transferable for a better future.
The actual process and sustainable construction term are way beyond the actual plan. It has a level of stages that needs to be discussed and taken care of from its start to its end. When saying this it means the phases from the start of its design to its outcome which includes operational and maintenance information of the ongoing building project.
For sustainable construction, what responsibility does BIM play?
The technology and advanced tools of BIM has a proven track record and has long been at the level that is meeting the constant need and requirement of all types of construction project. Not only this but it is also playing an important role in achieving the goals of sustainable construction. But when discussing this, one question that arises is how is this BIM technology and process relating to being one of the wisest ways to get a result-oriented sustainable construction.
Three main phases are connected between BIM and sustainable construction
- Considerable transparency during the design phase
- Significant efficiency during the design and construction phases
- Notable control during the operations phase
How does BIM shares complete transparency during the initial construction phase?
The very first thing that is considered in the sustainable construction market is the design process on a project using BIM technology. This is the process that is transparent from day one. In this, all the necessary information related to the project is available in a shared model where each stakeholder of the project can view and have full access to the performance of their project. In this stage, real-time information is received about the products and materials. With this data, we can plan its fabrication and installation. Along with this, after construction, its performance can be understood.
This level of transparency allows the respective personnel who are associated with the project to provide and deliver their knowledge and experience to the entire construction and operational activities of the building. This stage of undertaking makes the project more sustainable and reliable in the design phase way before the extra amount of money is been spent on the materials or its supplies.
We can ensure that the most environmentally responsible materials and methods are used in construction. Here we get rid of the hassle of rework and schedule delays, thereby saving time and money.
How BIM is efficient during its design and construction phases?
For every construction project, it is necessary to use BIM technology and it is because it results in 3D virtual prototypes. These prototypes can further be shared and used for real-time collaboration and simulation processes. The entire work leads to testing both logical and sequential details of construction. With the integrated BIM technology the design and construction workflow can be visualized and this further will be given details from estimation to its quantity takeoff and layout of the ongoing project.
Further, these improvements can be seen effectively and efficiently during its design and construction phase. Here is the list of the improvements that can be taken into consideration and seen too,
- BIM helps in speeding up project completion at a faster pace.
- It is quite efficient and cost-effective as compared to prefabrication.
- Reduces errors and ad hoc work.
- Reduces and Reduction in crew redundancy.
- A perfect improvisation in asset management.
We adopt the latest technology of BIM and its method that improvises the sustainability of construction projects and that too under proper and updated circumstances that are best for the project.

How does BIM systematically control the overall operational phase?
There was a time in the past when once the construction project gets completed, there wasn’t a team of engineers and designers who can help the builders to improve the operational work of the building. This is the process in which the owner or the facility manager requires association for repair and retrofitting work that is necessary and mandatory.
However, thanks to the highly trained and experienced team of BIM engineers who deliver highly inherent and appropriate Revit modeling of the project that are created using BIM technology. This data gives healthy, wealthy, and insightful information related to the project at its maximum potential.
This benefit of BIM easily and accurately competes in the overall sustainable construction philosophy. This process extends the design and construction and gives a long-term benefit with the acceptance of the complete structure.
