Utilizing architectural BIM across departments between the design office and the estimation section.
Introducing a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mabuchi Construction Co., Ltd. A collection of numerous case studies on the introduction of architectural BIM is currently being distributed.
We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mabuchi Construction Co., Ltd. Until now, as long as there were no significant losses and the project was completed within the schedule, the site matters were left to the site engineers, and there was no verification of whether that was the best approach. However, by using BIM, it becomes possible to hand over conditions that are as close to optimal as possible to the site. 【Initiatives of the Design Office】 ■ Consideration of the benefits of creating design and structural models in a single file - To enhance the value of BIM, we presented the outcomes of BIM at an in-house technical presentation. - As BIM technology improved, the content of the presentations became more advanced, and it gradually became recognized that we could not only create drawings but also calculate quantities. - By inputting structural slits, which were previously represented only by symbols, as models, we can calculate quantities during the estimation phase. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
basic information
【Initiatives of the Estimation Department】 ■Utilization to eliminate waste below ground level - The solid editing function is a convenient tool for calculating earthwork volumes. - Using the BIM-compatible architectural quantity estimation system "Helios" from Bal System Co., Ltd., we import data created from the structural model into Archicad, adding site and temporary structures to create a simplified temporary plan. - We were able to completely eliminate the initial task of drawing multiple plans individually. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
