Introducing BIM in the Building Construction Business

「As part of its digital transformation initiatives, a construction support tool introduced to improve the efficiency of quality and safety management is now used at all worksites, improving productivity in inspection operations and the preparation of safety documentation. The company will continue developing new systems through collaboration with partner companies. For BIM (Building Information Modeling), it is deepening BIM technology focused on sharing technical information through 3D models by expanding its use from improving accuracy and productivity at the design stage into the construction phase, and will promote transformation of its production system.」

「BIM (Building Information Modeling) is generally adopted for design-and-build projects. Steady results have emerged, including improved communication, consistency checks between drawings, and the early identification and resolution of issues through front-loading. The company will roll out BIM technical information across the organization, accelerate further use and develop its engineers, and transform its production system.」

「Last year, the company established a BIM Promotion Section, began fully converting the designs of projects under execution to BIM, and accelerated its efforts to transition to an integrated BIM structure covering design and construction.」

「Five years have passed since the adoption of BIM (Building Information Modeling), and the company is moving into the stage of full-scale practical use. This spring, it established a dedicated new organization and began converting the designs of projects under execution to full BIM.」

「Five years have passed since the adoption of BIM (Building Information Modeling). At the design and planning stages, practical use has advanced, including reaching agreement with clients and confirming designs using three-dimensional data. As the next step, the company is working to introduce BIM into the construction process to improve productivity.」

「In light of these circumstances, the company established a project team comprising design, quantity surveying and construction functions. It is conducting trials toward full-scale adoption, initially using design-and-build projects as model cases.」

「In light of these circumstances, the company also began considering the adoption of BIM. It appointed members of a study team at headquarters and each branch office and is conducting BIM trials on actual projects.」
