BIM model automatic checking system: Achieving both improved operational efficiency and quality through automatic checks based on our own rules.

"Solibri" is a solution aimed at improving the quality of BIM models and enhancing productivity in the design and construction processes. It automates the inspection tasks that were previously performed manually by staff. Following a pre-registered rule set, it conducts interference checks, consistency checks, and ensures clearances, and even generates reports automatically. **Solibri will solve your problems related to the utilization and operation of BIM!!** ■ Complicated verification tasks according to architectural rules Integrating BIM models for design, structure, and equipment makes verification tasks according to building standards and company rules complicated. Verification is required every time the drawings are updated. ■ Human errors due to reliance on individuals Performing inspection tasks such as interference checks and consistency checks manually takes time and is prone to mistakes. It also takes time to reach consensus among stakeholders. ■ Chronic labor shortages We are struggling with chronic labor shortages. Therefore, we want to increase the number of personnel who can effectively utilize BIM to improve operational efficiency. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

Detailed explanation of improving business efficiency through BIM, including two benefits, implementation methods, and key points for utilization!

BIM stands for Building Information Modeling, which is a 3D modeling technology used in the design, construction, and management of buildings. The advantage of using this technology lies in fundamentally improving operational efficiency in the design, construction, and management of buildings. Specifically, it allows for the "visualization" of the entire building on a digital platform, enabling "centralized management" of all information from the beginning to the end of the building process, including design, construction, and management. *For more details, please refer to the attached PDF. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*

By directly linking to on-site operations and reducing work mistakes and rework, we achieve an overall improvement in project productivity!

Construction BIM refers to the use of the digital tool "BIM," which is expanding in the architecture and construction industry, during the construction phase. This method utilizes the digital data of BIM created during the design phase to streamline the entire construction process. Construction BIM involves tasks such as interference checks on-site, examining construction procedures, creating construction drawings, and calculating quantities. Furthermore, by directly linking to on-site operations and reducing work errors and rework, it enhances the overall productivity of the project. This article will clearly explain the benefits of utilizing Construction BIM and the differences from Design BIM. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the attached PDF.

Introducing a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mabuchi Construction Co., Ltd. A collection of numerous case studies on the introduction of architectural BIM is currently being distributed.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mabuchi Construction Co., Ltd. Until now, as long as there were no significant losses and the project was completed within the schedule, the site matters were left to the site engineers, and there was no verification of whether that was the best approach. However, by using BIM, it becomes possible to hand over conditions that are as close to optimal as possible to the site. 【Initiatives of the Design Office】 ■ Consideration of the benefits of creating design and structural models in a single file - To enhance the value of BIM, we presented the outcomes of BIM at an in-house technical presentation. - As BIM technology improved, the content of the presentations became more advanced, and it gradually became recognized that we could not only create drawings but also calculate quantities. - By inputting structural slits, which were previously represented only by symbols, as models, we can calculate quantities during the estimation phase. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mine Design Co., Ltd. In a collaborative project with the Architecture Bureau, we received the challenge of quickly creating a 3D model from survey data to effectively communicate the completion image of road improvements to stakeholders, including residents. During the production process, we used BIMx as a viewer for confirming the 3D model, allowing the responsible parties to walk through the 3D space for verification and adjustments. Ultimately, we imported the data from this software into Unreal Engine to achieve a more realistic representation and built a system that incorporated a walkthrough feature. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenge - While production work for 3D models and image perspectives was being done from 2D design data, it was time-consuming and did not reach the point of showing the completion image for specific locations. ■Result - The ability to switch between drone views and walk mode makes it easier to understand. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Sato Architectural Structural Design Office, Ltd. A collection of case studies on the adoption of architectural BIM is currently being offered!

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Sato Architectural Structural Design Office, Ltd. In traditional structural design, multiple drawings such as floor plans, framing plans, and detail drawings were interrelated, requiring the manipulation of separate files for each. By introducing BIM, any modifications made in one place are essentially reflected in all drawings, eliminating discrepancies and ensuring consistency. 【Case Overview】 ■ Before Implementation - There were cases where consistency was lacking, and mistakes were likely to occur during the revision process. ■ After Implementation - The creation of documents for building permit applications became approximately 1.5 times faster, reducing the workload and enhancing operational efficiency and labor-saving. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Takato Tamagami Design Co., Ltd. A collection of case studies featuring numerous BIM implementation examples is currently being distributed.

At Takato Tamagami Design, we utilize "Archicad" as a tool to freely traverse between drawings and models, allowing us to depict complex and dynamic spaces. The company has long felt limited by the method of drawing complex forms by individually creating lines for plans, elevations, and sections. With the introduction of this software, the process of creating drawings has become significantly easier. By starting with a 3D model, the drawings are automatically generated in the background, making it feel as though the task is completed without much effort. [Case Overview] ■ Before Implementation - We used to display multiple 3D perspectives on-site and write explanations, which often made it difficult to capture the three-dimensional aspect. ■ After Implementation - Being able to view from various angles and cut sections has deepened understanding. - People on-site have commented that "it's convenient to view on an iPad." *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
