Customer industry
Adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Skillset
K&P Cove Consultancy provided three main services which are Consultancy Services, Inspection Services and also Refurbishment Services. They have worked on various types of projects involving Infrastructure, Institutional Building, Medical Centre, Heritage Building, Government Building, Residential Building, Commercial Building and many more.Building Information Modelling (BIM) were previously not implemented in K&P Cove in any of their projects. The biggest challenge faced by the construction industry for BIM adoption is the lack of BIM expertise to implement in the projects. K&P Cove did not have any expertise in BIM among their Building Surveyors, Assistant Building Surveyors, Project Executives and Draughtsman.Many advantages of BIM cannot be utilized by K&P Cove throughout their projects without BIM Implementation. A Building Surveyor’s job spans across the lifecycle of a construction project, they can gain the best and the most extensive benefits from BIM. Building Surveyor’s job is predominantly to work with various measurements, values, costs, schedules dimensions and demarcations that are derived from reliable and accurate sources of data. BIM actively helps surveyors in accessing and analyzing all this data in the form of geometries, numerals, and necessary information.
