There is one type of BIM, that I call the Bully BIM. It is a bit of a ‘below-the-belt punch’ kind of BIM approach. Unforeseen clashes of building elements cause a lot of trouble when discovered during construction and subsequently slow progress down, result in abortive works, extra materials, labor cost and lengthened programs.

Design and BIM Prefabrication is all about building a structure's elements offsite and assembling them on location. This is where design and BIM training comes in. Teams well-versed in BIM and design platforms can take project specifications and transform them into detailed digital representations of future structures.

By constructing materials before they hit the job site, trade contractors are boosting their operations. Prefabrication decreases field installation time, increases quality and safety, and reduces the amount of wasted materials. One increasingly popular trend that is helping solve this dilemma is prefabrication.
