USA such a tight space . It ’ s important for employees to work safely in the small quarters . This is where technology and having a model of the building came into great assistance .
Technology and the assistance of BIM Both Redenbarger and Kueht have acknowledged the importance of Building Information Modeling ( BIM ) and how this type of technology has not only assisted all involved parties with efficiently handling the expansion , but also allowing workers to stay on track to complete the project on schedule .
“ Because of BIM , everyone has access to the model and all of the building information ,” said Kueht “ The designing and detailing information we have can be pushed through instantly , meaning BIM saves us a lot of time ; BIM allows us to have a quicker and more efficient process .
“ With BIM , we are accurately building with the most current information ,” he added . “ We are finally able to see the value of technology , as well as understand it and like it .”
Redenbarger agreed with Kueht ’ s positive feedback regarding BIM , adding , “ BIM allows us to identify areas that need improvement so that we can then advance our skills and approach and move forward . We ’ re completely sold on the BIM process . It enhances the collaboration for all players on the project — everyone wins .”
Both Redenbarger and Kueht plan to continue using BIM going forward in their careers .
“ This entire project is a highly collaborative effort ; it takes everyone involved to help achieve overall goals ”
