BIM technology will enable greater operational efficiencies claims top company officials
UAE’s Engineering Contracting Company (ECC) has announced its comprehensive adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology, to ensure delivery of all future projects. This collaborative engineering technology solution will form a reliable basis for decision-making during a project’s life-cycle.
“The return on investment for our company is multi-layered,” explains Kareem Farah, CEO, ECC. “From better human resource allocation, to time and cost savings on contracted projects, we are already beginning to see the benefits of the implementation of BIM in the industry,” Farah adds.
According to Samer Abu Daqqa, Cost Control Manager at ECC, sustainability in a competitive marketplace such as the UAE requires early adoption of technology to avoid errors and remain cost effective through all stages of operations. “As an established contracting company ECC will continue to evolve with the industry and we are among the pioneers in harnessing this new technology,” he continues.
BIM, an intelligent 3D model-based platform that provides users with insights or tools for architecture, engineering and construction, helps to plan, design, build, construct and manage building and infrastructure virtually.
