At GALLAGHER, the adoptions of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Construction techniques have become an integral part of our business processes. Our project teams are reaping the rewards of improved visualization and coordination by "virtually constructing" projects prior to starting work in the field. This process allows us to identify and resolve issues early in the design and planning process in order to minimize, and in many cases eliminate, any associated cost or schedule impacts. Benefits of virtual construction include (1) design visualization and constructability reviews; (2) design validation and trade coordination; (3) scheduling and sequencing of work; (4) site logistics and safety hazard analysis; (5) facilities management integration; and (6) verification of existing conditions. While almost every project can benefit from the use of virtual construction, there is no single "one size fits all" project implementation approach. GALLAGHER ' expertise in virtual construction will help determine the relevance and benefits for your project..
