Since Building Information Modelling (BIM) took off in the early 2000’s, the construction process has become far more streamlined and efficient, saving money and time, as well as improving communications across teams.
Whilst it has taken construction a while to embrace new technology, BIM has proven that when applied correctly, technology can be hugely beneficial to improving productivity in manual industries such as this one.The effect Building Information Modelling has had on construction processes goes much further than 3D modelling and building design. BIM systems now contribute to every stage of everything in the construction process, from design, production and project management to handover once a project is complete.
The question is, how do we continue to improve the construction industry in the way that BIM has?There has never been more pressure on the construction industry to deliver results with a rapidly rising demand across society for more housing and infrastructure. The answer could lie in artificial intelligence. Whilst BIM has taken us a long way in terms of construction processes, artificial intelligence could push this further, using machine learning to further improve efficiency.
