BIM - Building Information Modeling
The BIM (Building Information Modeling) approach adopted by Ram Associati represents a significant change in design methodology, leading to much more effective control and coordination throughout the entire life cycle of an architectural project. The methodology makes it possible to integrate all the information required for the design, construction and management of the building into a single virtual model, which not only facilitates visualisation, but also the analysis and updating of data in real time.
BIM is not just a software tool, but a process involving various stages, including:

The BIM model allows for more accurate design, with the ability to visualise each element in 3D and understand its interactions.
During the construction phase, the model can be used to monitor progress, optimise working time and prevent errors, thanks to its ability to automatically update itself as changes are made.
Once construction is complete, BIM provides support for building management, allowing maintenance activities to be planned and performance to be monitored over time.
It facilitates the planning of work steps and coordination between the different professionals involved, ensuring that everyone is working with the same up-to-date information.
The decisive advantage of integrating this information into an information model is that each change in the model automatically generates updates in all related design processes. This drastically reduces the risk of errors and misalignments, improving work efficiency and reducing costs.
In addition, the ability to generate realistic renderings and animations allows the architectural design to be presented clearly to clients, making the approval process smoother and more collaborative.
In summary, the use of BIM not only improves project quality, but also promotes a more sustainable and effective management strategy throughout the building’s life, from conception to decommissioning.
