Risk Avoidance vs Risk Management (Part 1)
Prior to BIM, Managing Risk was a text book "best practice" in Construction Management. Post BIM, we learned that in fact Risk can be Avoided by effectively modeling and inputing information se we can efficiently extract what we require and visualize potential risks so we can eliminate them.

Some of the ways we have avoided risk, save costs and increase the value of the project have been using BIM for Quantity Take-offs and Virtual Walkthroughs.

Quantity Take Offs.
By modeling with proper codes, nomenclature, attributes and properties each and every rebar is modeled and color coded. We can then extract diameters, kilograms, longitudes of each grouping. We can minimize waste by identifying where will it be used in during the course of the project.

Virtual Walkthroughs

Reducing a Peek-a-boo effect on a poor design can save not only cost but embarrassment. We have identified many dysfunctional designs including door openings, obstructions on means of egress, electrical outlet location, others. These observations have saved thousands of dollars to our clients.

Our BIM Methodology is focused on risk avoidance and cost benefit; saving between 5% and 15% of total construction cost. We've been successful in reducing contingency close to 0%.
