Renaissance Construction has been utilizing Building Information Modelling (BIM) system since the beginning of the 21st century as part of its strategic plan. Having over 100 architectures and engineers in its teams, Renaissance Construction has two BIM centers located in St. Petersburg, Russia and Istanbul, Turkey. Through the incorporation of BIM system to the design and project management, projects are managed in a more timely manner, the quality of process and products are enhanced, time and cost overruns are minimized, quantity take-offs and project costs are more accurately estimated, and project information are more effectively shared among all project participants.
With designing, utilizing and managing project components as in the form of “intelligent objects” incorporating their “information”, Renaissance BIM team has been supporting various project phases and project participants involved in project value chain as well as has more effectively managed design and construction with the 4D and 5D building models having rich and intelligent building data.
Our initiatives;
- Effectively utilizing BIM in projects and benefit from its expected outcomes
- Investigating and developing the best-practices and techniques about BIM
- Organizing training and education programs
- Providing in-house consulting services
Renaissance Construction has been facilitating BIM system in four major fields;
- 3D Modelling: Visualization and development of “intelligent objects”
- 4D Modeling: Project simulation and project scheduling
- 5D Modelling: Quantity take-off and cost estimation
- Lean Construction and Sustainability
Some of the benefits gained with the use of BIM system are listed as follows;
VISUALIZATION AND MONITORING OF PROJECT SCHEDULES
- Developing 4D models with the incorporation of scheduling program to the 3D models
- Obtaining project simulations
- ldentifying variations among planned and actual schedules
- Visualizing projects prior to their initiation
EFFICIENCY OF DESIGNP ROCESSES
- Automaticaliy updating design changes
- Preventing design errors and defects
- More effectively managing design changes
- Making more informed design decisions
- ldentifying design inconsistencies
CLIENT SATISFACTION
- Building a final product that meets with the client expectations
- Enhancing project performance and guality
- Presenting preventive strategies for cost and time overruns
COST ESTIMATION
- Automatically obtaining guantity take-off
- More effectively estimating costs with defined unit prices
ERP SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
- Automating processes through the incorporation of SAP system with BIM
- Undertaking project and cost control activities with RIB-Itwo system
COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION
- Enhancing coordination among project participamts
- Enabling involvement of project participants from the beginning of design
- Sharing of project information with project participants as in the form of visual “intelligemt objects”
- More effectively managing project and design complexities
LEAN CONSTRUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY
- Enabling to identify problems and nonconformities that may create waste
- Minimizing time and construction resources-related waste
- Analyzing energy efficiency
