Discussions about BIM (Building Information Modeling) typically focus on the design of the outside of the building and the many benefits BIM brings to that aspect of architectural design. We read about massing models and curtain walls, expressive roof forms, and detailed wall sections. But how is BIM being applied to the design of the inside of the building - the finishes, the fixtures, the area requirements, the furniture schedules?
Regardless of the specialization of
the interior design group - corporate, hospitality, retail, etc. - interior
designers cite several key advantages of BIM:
·
The
speed and ease of creating an interior design model, coupled with the ability
to visualize that design
·
The
ability to capture and manage the design as multiple options within a single
model - options that may vary anything from space layout to material selections
·
The
richness and reliability of the data embodied within the building information
model. This is fundamental for early tasks such as schematic space planning and
master scheduling
·
The
accuracy of detailed design activities like quantification and costing, and
finally,
·
The
production of well-coordinated documentation.
