The BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology lies at the basis of the most important digital revolution in the construction sector. BIM brings together a series of procedures and tools that bring benefits at multiple levels, guaranteeing not only savings in terms of costs and times, but also allowing you to focus on safety, mitigating risk and ensuring that you minimize the possibility of accidents, thanks to a precise simulation of what will happen on the construction site a week or a month later. Already in 2014, the European Community had given the possibility to member states to operate in the public sector using this methodology. Italy was one of the first nations to make it mandatory in public procurement for value brackets, and from 2025 it will also be definitively mandatory for the last one of one million euro. The objective is to make the construction sector more efficient as well as economic savings and a reduction in waste throughout the construction sector with particular attention to workplace safety.
The contribution of the BIM methodology in terms of safety “By simulating the construction phases, we get a real simulation of what will happen on the construction site. Therefore, if you glimpse risks on that simulation, it is possible to resolve them sooner”, explains Andrea Vanossi, Business Development Unit – R&D and BIM Manager of CMB. Facing a problem on site would mean, in fact, resolving it urgently, stopping the work and managing all the relevant problems during construction.
