BIM for Subcontractors and Fabricators
This chapter describes the potential benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for improving various facets of the fabrication process from the perspective of the subcontractor or fabricator responsible for making and installing building parts. It explains the short‐term benefits in chronological sequence with reference to the process map. The chapter shows a typical traditional information and product flow for engineered‐to‐order (ETO) components in building construction. The process has three major parts: project acquisition, detailed design, and fabrication. The chapter defines the system requirements that ETO component fabricators, design service providers, and consultants should require from any software platform they are considering. There are numerous ways to reduce the quantity of human work required for building construction, such as prefabrication, modular construction, robotics, and 3D printing. A robust management strategy for the adoption of BIM must concern aspects beyond software, hardware, and the training of staff, because of its range of impact on workflows and people.
