BIM & COMMUNICATION: HOW IT ENHANCES DIALOGUE WITHIN THE TEAM & CLIENTS

At AURUS Arquitectura, we see BIM (Building Information Modeling) as far more than just a technical tool. It is our main platform for improving effective communication at every stage of a project—an asset that connects the team, engineers, suppliers, and clients in a transparent, collaborative process.

What is BIM and Why Does It Improve Communication?

BIM is a 3D digital model enriched with data that integrates architecture, engineering, and construction into a shared environment. Think of it as a “real-time shared document,” much like Google Docs, where all stakeholders collaborate on a single project model.

This centralized platform:

· Streamlines coordination across disciplines.

· Connects multiple information workflows.

· Reduces errors and duplication.

· Ensures everyone works with the most up-to-date project version (federated model).

Key Benefits for Communication

· Everyone sees the project progress in real time.

· Structural or MEP clashes are detected before construction begins.

· Clients, developers, and engineers are involved early with greater clarity.

Seamless Communication with the Project Team

Enhanced Internal Collaboration

BIM acts as a shared digital workspace where architects, engineers, designers, and interior specialists collaborate using the same federated 3D model. This enables real-time coordination without silos or duplication.

Thanks to formats like BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) and platforms like Graphisoft’s BIMcloud, we can share issues, assign tasks, and resolve conflicts quickly and transparently.

Clash Detection and Risk Management

BIM allows us to identify clashes between structure, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems in the digital model—reducing rework, delays, and budget overruns on site. In this way, BIM becomes a project filter, minimizing risks long before construction starts.

This level of real-time monitoring also enables faster, better-aligned decision-making across teams.

Transparent Dialogue with Clients

Clear Visualization of the Project

One of BIM’s standout advantages is that it allows the client to view the 3D model at any time, with no need for technical knowledge or complicated blueprint interpretation. This builds trust early and empowers decision-making.

Real-Time Updates and Progress Tracking

Every design change, comment, or decision is reflected in the BIM model—so both our team and our client can track the project’s evolution visually. This transparency helps prevent misunderstandings and builds stronger relationships.

Active Client Participation

Through interactive 3D models and virtual walkthroughs, clients can request changes, validate finishes, and make informed aesthetic or functional choices—ensuring the final result meets or exceeds their expectations.

How We Use BIM at AURUS Arquitectura

Integrated BIM Workflows in Every Project

  1. Initial collaborative modeling with precise site surveys, architecture, structure, and systems.
  2. Federated models, where all elements are visualized and coordinated in one shared environment.
  3. BCF tools to assign issues and resolve them with traceability.
  4. Client presentations via 3D views and renders, with online or in-person meetings.
  5. Automated documentation generation, ensuring consistency in drawings, schedules, and revisions.
  6.  

From Concept to Completion: Visual and Technical Integration

From the first sketch to the construction phase, the BIM model evolves with the project. It allows us to maintain a transparent record of materials, dimensions, timelines, and projected costs.

Concrete Communication Benefits of BIM

✅ Perfect coordination between disciplines

✅ Greater clarity and engagement for clients

✅ Fewer errors, revisions, and delays

✅ Visual alignment of design, structure, and systems

✅ Full transparency throughout the project lifecycle

These advantages lead to time savings, increased efficiency, and results that align with both technical and aesthetic goals.
