Building information modeling systems provide stakeholders with a 3D model of a built environment, along with a wealth of critical data on the project. A building information model (BIM) enables all parties to access accurate visualizations and a single repository of important operational data on things like project systems and site geography. As a result, building information modeling systems promote better design, planning, collaboration, execution, and decision-making.
Data connectivity and integration are essential for an effective building information modeling system. In addition to software that provides 3D visualizations, building information modeling technology requires solutions that can easily connect all the software, systems, and data sets used by designers, architects, engineers, contractors, and building managers.
As a Dynamic Workplace Management platform, Quickbase leverages no-code application development to provide construction, site selection, resource management, and facility management software solutions that support and connect BIM software. With Quickbase, teams can easily unify diverse data sources and technologies while tailoring applications to the specific needs of each project, ensuring that all stakeholders have the insights they need.
How a BIM process works
Building information modeling systems are used throughout the lifecycle of a project to improve clarity, communication, and efficiency in every process.
In the planning stages, a BIM building management platform enables various teams to access visualizations and data that inform, guide, and simplify project plans.
During the design phase, building information modeling systems assist with conceptual design, analysis, and documentation. BIM solutions help organize designs, analyze logistics, streamline scheduling, and deliver critical information to all parties.
During construction, BIM built environment software makes the latest project plans, blueprints, schedules, and other documents available to every contractor and team.
Once buildings are operational, the detailed visualizations and centralized information of a building information modeling system serve as a facilities management platform, streamlining and enhancing operations, maintenance, repairs, safety, and capital improvements.
