How BIM Boosts Construction ROI with Prefabrication

Building components manufactured offsite and in controlled environments show higher levels of quality backed by low material waste. Improved productivity, better quality, enhanced cost certainties, upgraded safety, etc. are some of the benefits that prefabrication and modular construction deliver. The following presentation draws attention to the benefits of prefabrication to improve construction ROI for AEC stakeholders.

  1. How BIM BoostsConstruction ROI with Prefabrication

  2. Based on a study by Dodge Data and Analytics, 2020 BIM - based prefabrication improves ROI by: 89% 90% 87% Improving productivity Improving quality Improving schedule certainty 81% 81% Improving cost predictability Reducing construction waste

  3. Challenges faced by constructionprofessionals with conventional methods of construction Lack of coordination Lack of sequence Lack of clarity of roles Site disturbances Greater material waste Time and labor wastage Delayed schedules Unsafe construction Higher costs • Contractors, architects, site engineers • MEP contractors • Prefabrication firms • Construction companies

  4. Projects can be completed 35% to 55% quicker with BIM-based prefabricated and modular construction.

  5. Prefabrication drives greater construction ROI with integrated BIM 5 ways

  6. Greater material waste with traditional construction Fabrication errors with inaccurate and incomplete 2D drawings 1 Minimized construction waste saves cost the challenge the solution • Accurate 3D model-based shop drawings reduce manufacturing waste and reduce rework • Advanced tools integrated with BIM enable contractors to visualize project scope, material costs, etc. • The elements with typical size can be filtered with BIM model to help overall savings of cost

  7. Components manufactured onsite may be of low-quality due to incorrect usage or damage Weather conditions deteriorate the material quality reducing construction quality Exposed project sites can lead to material theft 2 Better quality control the challenge the solution • Manufacturing components in an offsite controlled environment drives high-quality with LOD 400 BIM models • Large batches of replicated products with 21 days curing and controlled temperature, moisture, wind, atmospheric pressure improve productivity • Offsite prefabrication factories are secure, cancelling out material thieving

  8. Onsite fabrication of building materials can disrupt traffic around the project site Use of heavy machinery and frequent material movements produce plenty of noise Storing material onsite requires additional space which is very rare Minimum site disruption 3 the challenge the solution • Offsite prefabrication cancels out site disruption through seamless logistics • Minimal use of machinery, materials, and labor cancels out site noise • BIM-based models have unique numbers assigned to components for easier onsite assembly and installation

  9. Flawed quantity takeoffs with inaccurate CAD-based drawings Inaccurate fabrication and installation schedules Coordination issues and inaccurate material logistics Better construction schedules reduce delays 4 the challenge the solution • Prefabricated components take less time to build • BIM based scheduling is accurate as compared to traditional construction and diminishes schedule delays • BIM enabled fabrication and installation is quick and reduces project costs

  10. Traditional fabricated components are not flexible and reusable Limited design opportunities do not work with external aesthetics Onsite construction teams face greater risks of accidental hazards with onsite fabrication Flexibility, reusability, and safety with reduced onsite risks 5 the challenge the solution • Prefabricated or modular components are better engineered for flexibility, reuse, and performance • Multiple design prototypes using BIM can integrate prefabricated units to match the aesthetics of buildings • Offsite prefabrication lowers onsite risks caused by accidents and liabilities
