7 BIM Benefits of precast concrete detailing for prefab construction

RevitĀ® BIM-enabled precast concrete detailing addresses challenges related to installation and assembly clashes, fabrication quality, material waste and timelines. Parametric detailing, enhanced visualization and collaborative platforms of BIM drive high levels of efficiency in precast construction.

Detailing complex precast projects with traditional 2D CAD-based tools is time-consuming and expensive. Inaccuracies in calculations, constant changes, drawing oversights, data inconsistencies and inefficiencies lead to rework. Traditional 2D precast detailing tools and techniques fail to meet the speed or quality requirements of clients. They also cannot meet productivity needs in modern complex construction.

BIM-based precast concrete detailing streamlines the construction process for structural engineers, pre-casters, and prefabrication companies. Precast concrete designs, fabrication and shop drawings, scheduling and cost estimates created with BIM tools fuel higher…
