BIM for Reinforced Concrete – Rebar clash prevention

BIM & Beam

If you’ll remember, I’ve described what I see as four main benefits for a BIM-centric approach to concrete: Combines the versatility of 2D documentation with the higher level of fidelity and accuracy of 3D modeling of steel reinforcement and concrete accessories, with minimal effort to produce both. Early review and 3D model inspection.
