Under the Smart\nNation initiative<\/a>, the Singapore government seeks to invest in technologies\nsuch as  data analytics, ICT infrastructure\nand IAAS to enhance the quality of life of citizens and the ease with which to do\nbusiness with the Singapore government. BIM will lay the foundation for which a\nhost of other digital services will be layered upon.<\/p>

For example, BIM is one of the key strategies under HDB\u2019s Housing Productivity Framework to raise construction productivity by 20 to 25 percent (2010 \u2013 2020). As part of this effort, HDB has engaged with contractors to create comprehensive BIM object libraries that will be used to support their effort in using standardised, pre-fabricated components in construction. <\/p>

How does BIM benefit its adopters? <\/h2>

In the case of the HDB project, the use of BIM object libraries\nwill help facilitate knowledge transfer from project-to-project. For example, the\nHDB team could simply re-use and make minor modifications to previous BIM\nobjects to a new apartment block that has to be created in the Northshore\nDistrict or Punggol Point District.<\/a> These BIM objects can then be\nmanufactured by PPVC suppliers off-site which are then assembled by sub-contractors\non the construction site ( for more information, find out more about Design\nfor Manufacturing and Assembly<\/a><\/em>). Gone are the days were construction is\nperformed entirely on-site \u2013 a source of major delays. <\/p>

Indeed, in the World Economic Forum\u2019s report on \u201cShaping the Future of Construction\u201d<\/em>, it is believed that digitalisation of construction efforts could generate cost savings of between $0.7 \u2013 1.2 trillion in the Engineering and Construction phase, and up to  $0.5 trillion in the Operations phase globally. Given the incentives in cost-savings, it is no wonder why demand for candidates well-versed in digital construction skills will only grow in future.<\/p>

What are the potential applications for BIM?<\/h2>

Potential Applications of BIM<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

To summarise, parametric modelling techniques speed up the\ndesign process by iterating through multiple prototypes in the virtual model. <\/p>

Data-driven design techniques will help inform the design\nprocess, allowing the designer to come to solutions that meet the needs of\nclients. <\/p>

And lastly, real-time monitoring of projects through embedded sensors will help contractors cut costs and reduce construct times.<\/p>

What are the career options available to me?<\/h2>

Currently, the use of BIM in modelling objects has reached a mature phase. However, the application of BIM to drive design, construction, and maintenance efficiencies is still at its infancy. After you have built a strong foundation in interacting with BIM, you may venture into other parallel industries. For example, with your experience with BIM objects from a previous project, you can act as a consultant to inform the design team of available PPVC components to help them reduce construction costs.

There are many other career opportunities<\/a> available but you would likely have to refer to an earlier article to cover all grounds.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
