Suggested BIM uses for tender phase (for contractor) are:
Cost Estimation
Site Planning (Logistic Planning)
Suggested BIM uses for Pre-Construction phase (for contractor) are:
Reviewing Consultant Models
Model-based Project Planning and Scheduling
Suggested BIM uses for Construction phase (for contractor) are:
Construction Coordination
Modelling and Shop Drawings
Sequence Complex Construction
Setting Out and Verification on Site
Prefabrication Proposal
As-Built models
Model for Facility Management
The contractor use site model to
Model the site topography
Add hoardings along the boundary with site access (gates)
Plan and model construction access and pedestrian access inside the site
Model the site offices, storage areas and utilities
Plan the vehicle movements and mobile crane movements
Plan locations of Tower Cranes
Once the site plan model is developed, the main contractor could communicate the site plan to his sub-contractors/workers using: 3D model walk-through 4D simulations or animation videos
