Top 10 BIM Process You are likely to outsource
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has made a significant shift in the world of architecture, engineering & construction (AEC). Even so, more complex projects increase the burden and inefficiency on managing every piece of the BIM process. Outsourcing would save time and money while using specialized expertise that is not internal. But to what extent are you likely to outsource these functions?
In this blog, we will dive into the key BIM tasks that are ideal for outsourcing and explain how this strategy can help streamline your projects.
1. 3D Modeling and Visualization:
Why Outsource It?
Creating detailed 3D models and visualizations is a time-consuming process that requires technical expertise and specialized software. Outsourcing this task allows your team to focus on core project activities while leveraging the expertise of experienced modelers.
Benefits:
2. Clash Detection and Resolution:
Why Outsource It?
Clash detection ensures that all design components (architectural, structural & MEP) work in harmony without conflicts. The identification and resolution of these clashes are a time-consuming and repetitive process that is best left to specialized teams.

3. Quantity Takeoffs and Cost Estimation:
Why Outsource It?
Quantity takeoffs and cost estimation are critical project planning and budgeting activity. This activity involves minute details with knowledge of construction costs; thus, the best is to outsource experts with such experience.

4. Documentation and Shop Drawings:
Why Outsource It?
Shop drawings and construction documentation are necessary for on-site execution, but they are time-consuming to prepare. Outsourcing these activities can save time while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy.
Benefits:
5. BIM Content Creation:
Why Outsource It?
Creating BIM content, such as parametric families, objects & templates, is a specialized task that often requires deep knowledge of software like Revit, AutoCAD or ArchiCAD. Outsourcing this ensures high-quality content without overburdening your in-house team.
