The fears of BIM adoption bring its own set of challenges, but DDC Solutions has got your back. We offer bespoke BIM strategies to our customers as our approach doesn’t involve simply ticking; instead, we integrate ourselves within your team to meet the unique requirements of your project. If you want to overcome BIM implementation challenges, read this article till the end.

We are also going to share how you can check your Revit Health Score.

The first challenge concerns the cost. Implementing BIM into your practice requires a significant investment in software (Revit, Naviswork etc), hardware (high-end computers and IT infrastructure), and training. Similarly, the learning curve is extremely steep which proves to be daunting for the teams and companies that are new to BIM.  

With DDC Solutions as your BIM partner, you can overcome BIM implementation challenges it. Headed by one of the BIM pioneers Jimi Clarke, we have made our services cost-efficient. To overcome software-related financial problems, DDC Solutions provides you with affordable and open-source BIM software tools. These tools are perfect for initial practice and skill-building without the hefty price tag of premium software. 

Additionally, we also offer a detailed suite of online tutorials, webinars, and courses to make your teams proficient in BIM applications. We have tailored these resources to ensure that everyone from beginners to advanced level can benefit from it. With our phased BIM implementation approach, we further mitigate costs. Our team starts with smaller projects to demonstrate the value of the BIM to stakeholders. It helps in building confidence and support within your organization.   

As our BIM training programs are tailored to meet the requirements of specific roles, we significantly reduce the learning curve and expedite the BIM adoption process. Furthermore, we provide hands-on training sessions to your teams that cater to the unique requirements of your projects; again, this reduces the learning curve and expedites the BIM implementation process.

It has been noted that different BIM software may not be fully compatible with each other. This problem gives rise to data exchange problems which have potential to disrupt the workflows and cause delays. In BIM multiverse, we call it interoperability issue.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC)industry often suffers from this issue. But you need not worry, as DDC Solutions has got your back. We address this issue by standardizing within our team or company to eliminate interoperability issues significantly. We meticulously select the right BIM platform for your unique project needs to ensure that the whole integration process is extremely seamless and smooth. Furthermore, we keep stakeholders aboard when picking the right BIM software. We keep project managers, architects, engineers, and IT professionals in the loop to ensure that the platform we choose meets the diverse needs of the entire team.

Furthermore, DDC Solutions provides hands-on training to your team to make them proficient in exchanging data as per standards. We educate your team on the best practices for data exchange, helping to avoid common pitfalls and ensuring that your BIM models remain consistent and accurate across different platforms. This way, we overcome BIM implementation challenges seamlessly.

Resistance to change remains a big problem when it comes to the adoption of new technologies and workflows.  

At DDC Solutions, we understand that resistance to change is a natural human reaction. With innovative strategies and a deep understanding of the human psyche, we overcome this problem. Being one of the pioneers in the industry, we lead by example as DDC Solutions has worked on projects of all sizes. Using our successful portfolio and by completing small pilot projects, we make it easy for all stakeholders to grasp the tangible benefits of BIM.  

Furthermore, we regularly hold workshops and presentations that are tailored to different stakeholders’ group. From these sessions, stakeholders learn specific benefits that BIM brings; likewise, their concerns are addressed to demonstrate how BIM can enhance their workflows. When stakeholders acquire a deep understanding that BIM integration translates into reduced costs, waste, and improved risk management, they see the value in making the transition.  

Managing large volume of data has remained one of the biggest challenges. Another problem that emanates from large volume of data is that of collaboration. The same exacerbates when it comes to complex projects.  

DDC Solutions overcome this challenge of BIM implementation by harnessing the power of cloud-based solutions. Our experts set up a robust data management system that handle the large volumes of information generated by the BIM projects.  

We advocate for the cloud-based tools because of the following reasons: 

  • They allow for real-time sharing and updating of BIM models. 
  • Facilitate seamless communication and coordination regardless of team member’s physical location  

Likewise, our BIM experts establish clear communication protocols to ensure that everyone is on the same page and has access to up-to-date information. Furthermore, training sessions are held to make your team members fully proficient in use of collaboration tools and data management systems. Doing so enhances your existing workflows while improving the project outcomes at the same time.  

Keeping BIM models updated and accurate throughout the project lifecycle requires continuous effort and diligence.

Maintaining accurate and up-to-date BIM models is essential for project success. DDC Solutions helps you establish clear workflows and responsibilities for model updates. We work with your team to define who is responsible for maintaining different aspects of the BIM model, ensuring accountability and consistency.

Regular audits and checks are crucial for maintaining model accuracy. DDC Solutions conducts these audits, identifying discrepancies and ensuring that the BIM model remains accurate and reliable.

We also leverage automation tools within BIM software to streamline the maintenance process. These tools can automatically identify and highlight discrepancies, making it easier to keep the model accurate and up-to-date.

In addition, we provide ongoing support and training to ensure that your team can effectively maintain the BIM model. This support helps to address any issues that arise and ensures that your BIM implementation continues to deliver value throughout the project lifecycle.
