How Building Information Modeling helps fabricators

BIM is a solid modeling tool that can be utilized for clash detection and volumetric quantity-takeoff. BIM trims down conflicts and creates value in fabrication by making the building plan accurate. Besides the fabricators get the ability to have the section view being produced automatically with the help of BIM software.

Perfect fabrication of materials diminishes waste while the pre-assembly can save time.

BIM facilitates digital fabrication of building components and thus enables digital design-to-fabrication workflows for all the building disciplines.

Fabricators can create their own models from paper drawing and produce a bill order within a very short period of time.

BIM can automate design and detailing tasks for fabrication work to a higher degree and it’s models stays rational, semantically accurate even as they are manipulated.

BIM contains all the geometry related with structural steel and enhances the structural steel fabrication procedure. The design information for structural steel can be exported to a CIS/2 file and reprocessed in a steel detailing application. BIM models provide support for parametric objects at all levels for structural steel connections.

BIM also takes into consideration discarded steel and keep documentation of the same. At the time of requirement, this discarded steel can be easily located and reused eliminating the need to order new sections from the fabricator.

After the completion of steel details, the design team or the contractor can utilize the fabrication model for 4D modeling in addition to clash detection with other building disciplines and models.

With BIM the Fabricators can share the design models for bidding and it leads to cut down the bid cycle with more uniform bids based on consistent steel tonnages.

BIM keeps the coordination between the fabricated steel and the other building components which will decrease the on-site issues and bring down the cost getting higher for steel erection.
