The next normal in construction: How disruption is reshaping the world's largest ecosystem

Construction is already in the perfect storm. Industrialization, globalization, and digitalization have been key drivers of change in all industries. While this change happened in sequential waves—for example, in auto industrialization in the 1970s and 1980s, globalization in the 1990s and 2000s, and digitalization in the 2010s and ongoing—all of these drivers are hitting construction simultaneously. It is a daunting task and will require bold and agile moves to maneuver, but the size of the prize is enormous.

‘BIM sols can help construction sector in cost optimization’

Building Information Modelling (BIM) solutions can help reduce the capital cost and carbon footprint by over 20 percent in the construction sector, says a study.

Conducted by KPMG and RICS School of Built Environment at Amity University and commissioned by 3D designing software maker Autodesk, the study said project delays, cost overruns, and liquidity constraints continue to trouble the real estate and construction sectors.

While a number of developed countries across the world have already adopted BIM to reduce project delays and cost overruns, Indian firms are fast adopting BIM, it added.

BIM solutions allow users to construct ‘smart’ and ‘computable’ three-dimensional (3D) model of the project to enhance its design, construction, and operation.

“Firms involved in built environment sector in India are facing significant schedule and cost overrun on account of poor coordination, wastage of material, significant rework, and lack of information sharing etc,” Neeraj Bansal, Partner and Head of Real Estate and Construction Practice, KPMG India said.

BIM, that offers a digital representation of the project during its lifecycle, right from planning to execution of the project, is gradually picking up among Indian firms.

“This can significantly improve operational efficiencies leading to a reduction in project time and cost overruns that the sector currently faces,” Bansal said.

The report said as the awareness for BIM is increasing within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sectors, around 22 percent of the firms have already started using BIM.

It said BIM is used most extensively in real estate sector, mostly in design development and construction stage.

Most users who are using BIM fall in the residential segment, building housing projects, followed by those doing mixed land use projects under the commercial category, it said.

The lowest usage was found to be in the non-housing sectors such as industrial and infrastructural developments.

While BIM holds tremendous potential for the construction sector, there are few issues that remain for the use of BIM in the country, said Anil Sawhney, Associate Dean and Director, RICS School of Built Environment, Amity University.

Compatibility between software platforms, availability of skilled resources, and lack of standard processes are among the major challenges deterring usage of BIM technology, he added.

ASHWIN MAHALINGAM

Assistant Professor (BSB 225, Building Technology and Construction Management Division. Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India)

I am quite impressed with the use of BIM for clash detection, 4D and potential generation of BOQ items. Everyone I met is convinced that BIM has really helped turn this project around, and should be used in the future, particularly for clash detection. I also like how 4D is being used for progress reporting.In addition, I have suggested that the 4D also be used for project forecasting – e.g. a picture of what the project will look like in a week should be discussed in the weekly meetings and can be printed out by each organization to act as a target that they should look at achieving. In addition, 4D can be used for construction optimization (e.g. re-sequencing, etc), which is not being done currently.

Director Sonali Dhopte Interviewed by Mitali Saha of Times Journal of Construction for its March 2010 Issue for the article “Offshored Opportunities”.

India’s outsourcing expertise has seen great demand in the slowdown, but can Indian firms adapt to the demands of a better economic climate? Mitali Saha explores Offshoring involves the relocation of business processes of companies from one country to another, typically to reduce costs and gain a comparative advantage. Spurred by a liberalized economy, high technology acceptability as well as a huge English-speaking population, the outsourcing sector in India, in particular, has seen the nation’s emergence as a global industry participant in the last decade or so. The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) CEO Summit has pegged sectoral growth at 80 percent to generate revenues of around $225 billion by 2020.
