Successfully integrating BIM in hospital construction

Article offers 10 ways building information modeling can benefit the healthcare industry


Building information modeling (BIM) involves the generation of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a location.  Because hospitals are complex buildings, integrating BIM strategies prior to construction can streamline design, approvals and operations, according to an article on the Global Healthcare website.

According to the article, the 10 ways BIM can help a healthcare design team include:

• BIM adds value to the project by helping the designers, constructors, regulators and owners visualize complex geometric and spatial information

• The "I" in BIM is the key. Graphically compelling images of a building go a long way to explaining an idea. 

• BIM is more than just technology. It is also a process that allows professionals to organize their efforts as well as their data. 

• BIM can retool the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) project delivery process. It can persuade others to look deeply at what they do and find ways to make it better.
