BIM EVOLVED: 8 Benefits Of BIM In Healthcare Design



The design, development, and construction of sophisticated buildings relies on a variety of tools. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one method that's been growing in popularity among the architecture, engineering, and construction industries as healthcare projects continue to grow in size and complexity.


Here are some reasons to consider BIM for your next project:

1. BIM can save time and money.

Because of the cost and complexity inherent in healthcare projects, BIM tools and methods are an effective platform to aid both their design and construction. A survey was conducted by USC students Ji Wu and Derek Wong in early 2014 with southern California architects and contractors. Of the 85 companies that responded, 96 percent said that they used BIM, and 74 percent had been involved in healthcare projects. According to the survey results, there was general support for the use of BIM as an asset for coordination and updating during the design phase (see table).
