BIM, our work methodology

Have you ever wondered what the construction process of your home was like? Do you know how the builder got the project started?

Building homes is a whole science. Throughout history, people have always needed shelter from the weather and a place to rest. Over time, however, home construction has evolved to the point of providing not only safety but also comfort, leisure areas and even workspaces.

But reaching the final result requires a lot of organization, planning and an expert team at every stage of the process. To that end, at Arquitectura y Concreto we have developed and adapted work methodologies based on innovation, using global construction standards as a reference.

At our company we frame our construction under a work methodology called BIM (Building Information Modeling), with which we manage all the information around the project.

However, before we start working under this methodology, our team establishes the project's conditions. This information is recorded in an execution document known as a BEP (BIM Execution Plan), which defines the collaborating teams, their roles and respective permissions, and structures the processes involved and the project's execution workflows.

What is BIM

For Arquitectura y Concreto it is the core tool and starting point for the construction process of Colombian homes, but specifically, BIM is a set of methodologies, standards and technologies that make it possible to collaboratively design, build and operate a virtual building.

All of this means that throughout the project's life cycle the repository keeps growing, including the conceptual and detailed design, analysis, fabrication, construction, operation and maintenance phases, and in some cases renovation and demolition. 

BIM is governed by four fundamental pillars that guarantee the availability of information and the progress of the work: collaboration, human talent, processes based on international standards, and new technologies.

1. We guarantee that information will always be available and secure, since it is stored in the cloud.

2. Projects are developed in real time and in a coordinated way.

3. As a repository that grows over time, work teams will always have a complete overview of the construction process.

4. Clashes between systems are detected and we can anticipate problems before construction, allowing us to keep the quality of the final product high.

5. We will always be more precise about project details, including on-site quantities.

6. We optimize the building and project management process.

7. We reduce costs and execution times.

We specialize in residential construction and it's what we're most passionate about, which is why we work under a methodology that, besides being detailed, allows us to be more precise. We know reading about it may sound confusing, but it's important for us to understand every process, because the quality of your future property depends on it.

We love knowing you'll live incredible moments in your home, and that's why you deserve the best apartment or house we've ever built.

And results like these are only possible with a specialized team, under a collaborative methodology, following international standards and innovating at every stage of the process.
