Build up to seven floors. this The main advantage of BIMA project management methodology that recreates any installation at the conceptual, geometric, spatial, temporal, economic, sustainability and maintenance level. Because “BIM allows building in seven different sizes”Pasaval coach announced Gregorio Hernández; One of the participants in the information meeting ‘BİM. A sustainable vision to build the future, organized by Valencia Community College of Industrial Engineers (COIICV) Y Upgrade-EMVnewspaper belonging to the same group as this media.
The meeting was highlighted advantages of a methodology already in practice in many European countries, The expansion now seeks to promote COIICV among SMEs and companies in the Valencia region for its multiple benefits in efficiency, sustainability, management and use of resources and economic savings, among others.
The event moderated by journalist Julio Monreal, Nieves Romero, dean of COIICV; Nuria Matarredona, Managing Director of Ecological Innovation in Generalitat Valenciana Construction; and Eva Marco and Pere Mallol, presidents of COIICV in Valencia and Alicante, respectively. Ángel Ortiz, director of the UPV Technical School of Industrial Engineering, and Isabel Jordán, coordinator of the European University’s Project Management Graduate Specialists, also attended. education area; and on the subject business sector, Benjamin González, CYPE corporate development director; David Martínez, managing partner of IBIM; aforementioned Gregorio Hernández; Igor Ortuose, project manager at Idom; Jesús Paniagua, Grupotec organizational and management systems director; and Sergio Moral and Javier Lledó, both IT managers at Mercadona’s Construction Sites.
Keys to understanding BIM
“BIM is more than a tool, it’s a working method that combines all the processes of a project in a single support”. In short, this is the definition Romero offered during the meeting.
Thanks to its use, allows to improve the technicalization of the process, listing all the steps; by virtue of showing any changes made by any of the agents currently involved. Hence the “importance that they all know how to use it” X-ray the project in real time», Marco impressed; and as a result, Romero confirmed that “standardization of software and tools connected to BIM” has taken place.
In this way, as Martínez points out, «Mistakes are avoided and costs are reduced» ‘on the computer screen, when it’s cheaper’ when running simulations. Business man highlighted the benefits for buyers“maximum product quality is guaranteed”; a promotersachieves the “best possible result” in terms of price, maturity and quality; a public administrationbenefiting from “audit and maintenance works”; Already care organizations“optimizing the management of resources thanks to the information available in real time”.
Economic benefits of BIM increase « the more complex the job», explained Paniagua, and the methodology is more known. According to Jordán, “the first projects are very unprofitable, but the learning curve multiplies their activities until they are enormously productive». But, Paniagua said, “you reclaim the excess effort in engineering during the construction phase.”
university education
this BIM methodology included Curriculum of university careers of the Valencian CommunityOrtiz said, with the aim of “reaching companies with adequate infrastructure” for future professionals, such as at the Valencia Polytechnic University or the European University. However, time is “limited” to train them, so “it is impossible for students to become super-experts in BIM”, but at the end of their studies, «they have all the foundations to accelerate their learning and reach the highest level in a very short time».
In Valencia universities also They train “professionals who have been working for a while and recycled”As Jordan tells; also who considers himself a “BIM native”. His training in countries such as the United States, the Netherlands and France enabled him to recognize this methodology from the very beginning of his professional career and automatically convinced him: “We use BIM not for regulation, but because it makes us better”Confessed.
Unlike in other European countries, the use of BIM methodology is not mandatory in Spain; Although gradually its use is widespread. “We got ahead of the administration, we encouraged its implementation —, he said—; and now they realize it and shoot.
From the Generalitat Valenciana, “we do not believe in an application from top to bottom (from top to bottom) and a intermediate model of public-private cooperationbe an example”, the general manager assured.
BIM convinces the industry
the day he servedConfirm the benefits of BIM», argued Matarredona; through experience of private sector representatives.
This is also the case of Mercadona, which develops all of its new projects with BIM. According to Moral, “There is no choice, it is impossible to work without it”. In this way, the supermarket chain – simultaneously the promoter, founder and maintainer of all its properties – manages more than 1,600 stores, 15 logistics blocks and countless beehives. They also run a “backward digitization” process to “manage all data using this latest generation technology,” according to Lledó.
Same thing happens with Idom, here They don’t understand any project other than BIM Ortouse, “because Potential at every stage of the project».
One of the most repeated advantages of the participants is BIM. consolidates information and provides more fluid communication between different agents. “This means savings and better quality in the final product,” Paniagua admitted. And this is as Marco pointed out«Here’s what happens, you see it in real time on your screen».
His situation is an example of this as well. Useful methodology for Valencian SMEs. “BIM was about making me great,” she said, starting a reflection: “You have to invest and believe how far you can go and work on it.” As a result, it emphasized «No need to fear, BIM is for everyone, for you and for me»
