This is where building information modeling (BIM) software becomes incredibly valuable - a 3D BIM model of a precast element submitted with your bid looks more professional and stands out against other 2D bids. This leads to cost overruns from correcting expensive mistakes during construction, increased requests for information (RFI’s), and stretched deadlines that could cause friction between team members. Left unchecked, these errors remain in the drawings and documentation given to fabricators and onsite contractors.
Precasters using 2D CAD for estimating and design have limited ability to visualize the details, createing a higher likelihood for errors and data inconsistencies. To realize the potential offered by digital precast workflows, engineers must be able to create high-quality models with ease, and fabricators must have operations management tools that can consume, use, and update the information those models contain.īIM Supports Better Bids for Precast Projects Downstream use of BIM data is limited and cumbersome.High quality BIM-based detailing isn’t yet easy enough to be an everyday workflow.But BIM has not yet transformed precast fabrication in the same way. Model-based design is becoming the new norm for building structures, and it has yielded big dividends for construction contractors and engineers alike. Software with integrated quality assurance and automatic functions, such as clash detection, enable optimal precast planning and simplifies change management.Īllplan Precast helps to simplify the precast detailing process from sales estimation and bidding to automatically generating shop drawings. A 3D BIM model, used in the planning and design stages , can streamline the entire precast workflow.
Precast concrete plays a crucial role in the building process, but miscalculations or errors in shop drawings can negatively impact deadlines and budgets. Manage the full BIM workflow for precast concrete
