BIM Services, particularly as they apply to construction, have become very popular these days. But not everyone is willing to make the shift and implement virtual construction modeling for a number of reasons  investment costs, training, hiring processes, and more. Architects, construction companies, and other service providers need BIM resources that are affordable and reliable. We’ve seen this firsthand at Climax. That’s why we offer a cost-effective option to hire BIM partners who will handle your project management needs while saving you time and money. Click here to read more about our services. Selecting the right BIM partner is crucial for ensuring a seamless and efficient implementation of Building Information Modeling on our construction projects.

You need to consider a few things before you choose your BIM partner. Always ask the company or person if they’re capable of fulfilling all of your specific needs with just the work you’re asking them for. Selecting the Right BIM Partner can streamline projects, ensuring efficiency, and fostering collaborative success. These are some important things to ask about Before picking a provider to build a BIM model, it is important to ensure that their evaluation criteria are on point and complete. This way, you won’t be dealing with any hassle later down the road in terms of your firm’s reputation.

For any company to be successful you need to scrutinize their marketing position, ability to execute projects and the overall range of experience. Additionally, when it comes to making a decision on which company or person is best for you, it’s important to look at their diversity of projects handled as well.

When you’re considering BIM companies to work with, it’s important to communicate your expectations clearly to the potential companies. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses from which you need to know what they can offer. From that, you can distinguish the best partnership for your project. For one thing, the company should have experience in this project type and for another, they should have a high-quality model file that will help you visualize the project. The best way to avoid potential frustration and disappointment with any digital design is by taking a close look at the built model. Making sure every element of your project aligns with the specification is important to avoid any confusion later on in the process.

Word-of-mouth is always important when you’re working with other companies. If the company you’re looking to work with gives a reference, it’s a good company. And if they don’t, it’s a red flag. It’s also worth preparing a template for the references you need to collect from the client. As a potential client, you should try to understand the strengths and weakness of a company before signing with them. You can discuss their ability to deliver a project in a short turnaround time or pressurized environment. Plus, you should probe further on what they’ve faced in the past.

It is also preferable that the BIM Service provider is an expert in all facets of BIM. It helps you achieve a quick turnaround time and eases communication hazards. When you have one company with expertise in only BIM design or BIM coordination, you may have to look for another company which has expertise in 4D modeling or facility management. Many companies struggle with reliable models, because the overlap of data can be bothersome and time-consuming. When moving models between companies, the error index increases and project management becomes challenging

While some BIM service providers offer very low hourly rates, this certainly does not mean that this rate can save your overall costs. Do not rely on the low hourly rate. It is imperative to check the stability, skill set and whether they’re capable of delivering your project within a quick turnaround time. A lot of time nagging can end up causing significant distractions. This can lead to quality problems and result in a product that is delayed or even scrapped altogether. If a project is taking longer than expected, it’s best to ask for an extension so you don’t end up doing lots of changes, mark ups and quality checks and significantly reduce the profit margin involved.

That is why managing your own staff and project is a better option. It’s always better to ensure that you choose the best company to bid on a project. We don’t want you to waste any time, as money means nothing if you can’t afford it. If you want to save overhead costs, outsourcing project management tasks may not be the right option for you. If you end up partnering with an external company to do complete project management, you’ll lose money.

When choosing an outsourced BIM company, you want a company with solid project execution skills, strong management abilities and quick response time. An employer should be available at all times, always eager to discuss critical issues and ready to maintain a collaborative approach among other things. Keeping up with your employees is important, and so is getting your email back in a timely manner.

Having a company size of 25-30 architects or engineers, or having a project manager who has experience and expertise in working with large and medium scale projects is the key to success. When it comes to team structure and background, having at least one BIM architect who has hands-on experience with software like Revit is required. They should be able to assign resources, while managing the workload they get. In situations where they need more, they should be able to procure more help quickly.

With all these criteria in mind, it’s easier for us to make a decision about which licensed BIM vendor we’d like to work with. There are many BIM companies that would be happy to act as an extended arm and serve your company, but you’ll only choose the best service! Selecting the Right BIM Partner is crucial for success.
