Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the latest technology being embraced by the construction industry. HSUHK has already implemented the innovation and adopted BIM construction for our Residential Colleges in 2015 and the new West Lane Academic Building which is expected to complete by late 2022.
Some of the main benefits for using BIM include:
• Improved space management and communication of information
• Increased efficiencies and streamlined facility management
• Better understanding of operational and maintenance costs and usage with increased opportunities for energy and operational savings (ROI & Life Cycle Management)
• More accurate and complete as-built documentation for maintenance and future renovations
