HEALTHCARE.
Complex hospital and healthcare facility structures require expert planning and coordination, in order to execute the construction well. Projects are rarely free of conflicts or design changes and stakeholders often have conflicting ideas regarding layouts of operating theaters, patient rooms, and intensive care areas. BIM implication ensures that all the teams across structural, architectural and MEP disciplines remain on the same page. Everything from calculating required material quantity, to fabrication, erection and construction of the building can be well planned and coordinated. BIM modeling also makes it easier for stakeholders to recognize the conflicts early in the design process so they can be resolved without delaying construction.
Furthermore for an healthcare building, it is important to consider spatial requirements and equipment layouts as there are several types of diagnostic, testing and treatment requirements to consider. The building information models are loaded with visualization for placement of all these equipments, this in turn benefits also during the facility management phase. Long-term hospital management is an important variable that is often overlooked during the design and construction process. Updates and renovations may not be planned for years or decades after a project has been delivered. With the help of BIM, project details are easily captured in the facility database that was employed during the project’s design. It serves as a documentation of a building with every detail precisely recorded. This documentation can be further used to alter, renovate or refurbish a hospital building or part of the hospital building.
