In the current digital era, the term BIM (Building Information Modeling) is no longer strange to the global construction industry. From developed countries such as the US, UK, to regional countries such as Singapore, Thailand... BIM has become an indispensable "strategic assistant" in every modern industrial project. So what about Vietnam? It's time for domestic enterprises to take action - not only to catch up with the trend, but to rise strongly in the digital transformation race of the construction industry.
What is BIM and why is it so important?
BIM is a comprehensive digital process that helps model, manage and operate buildings through an intuitive and accurate data system. BIM is not just about "3D drawing", but also includes elements such as:
-
- 4D (time): Clear construction plan, easy to control progress.- 5D (cost): Accurate estimate, reduce waste.- 6D (operation management): Support maintenance, operation of the project throughout its life cycle.- 7D (environmental analysis): Optimize project performance, towards sustainable development.
In other words, BIM is a "digital map" of the entire construction journey, helping all parties - from investors, contractors to architects - work more transparently, accurately and cost-effectively than ever before.
Where are Vietnamese industrial construction enterprises?
In Vietnam, many businesses are still struggling with the traditional design-construction process: disjointed drawings, communication errors between departments, and especially the situation of "starting over" when errors are discovered during the construction phase.
Meanwhile, the world has changed with BIM:
-
Save up to 20 - 30% on construction costs by reducing errors.Shorten construction time by up to 40%.Limit conflicts between disciplines (structure, MEP, architecture).Help manage projects from the start of construction to long-term operation.
Can we continue to stay out of this game?
Why is BIM particularly suitable for industrial construction?
Industrial construction projects – such as factories, warehouses, and export processing zones – require extremely high precision and progress. Large spaces, complex MEP systems, and efficient operation requirements are factors that make BIM a “powerful assistant”:
The biggest obstacle is slow thinking change.
In fact, many businesses are still hesitant to invest in BIM because of concerns about initial costs, lack of technology-savvy personnel, or simply not “seeing the benefits immediately”. But just like investing in modern manufacturing technology – BIM is not a cost, but a long-term profitable investment.
