The Benefits of BIM for Formwork

1. The Benefits of BIM for Formwork

2. Source: The Formwork market is projected to hit $6.37 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 2.3%

3. Who benefits from BIM-based formwork? Formwork Suppliers Construction Companies Project Owners Structural Engineers Contractors

4. Why CAD-based tools often pose challenges? Lack of 3D visualization Absence of process transparency and clarity Higher onsite rework, material waste, and time overages Clashes between formwork components with 2D drawings Design ambiguities, greater RFIs during construction, and task delays Absence or inadequate collaboration Absence of real-time data in CAD blocks Improper use of formwork and project delays Inaccurate or erroneous formwork proposals Manual intervention and absence of automation

5. Advantages of BIM-based Formwork Modeling 5

6. Provide greater clarity and transparency 1 • The Need • A high-quality concrete casting • BIM-based 3D visualization ensures • Higher clarity and transparency through the entire formwork process • Interdisciplinary coordination with bi-directional information exchange • Accurate formwork modules-layouts before actual construction starts

7. Resolve clashes in the preconstruction phase 2 • The Need • Reduce collisions between various formwork members • BIM-based interdisciplinary clash detection and resolution ensures • Preemptive interference-detection and resolution between various formwork members through clash detection • Reduced rework and material waste to avoid project delays and save building costs • Proper sequential planning of formwork with respect to each concrete casting

8. Better collaboration with the project team 3 • The Need • Understand the design with greater clarity and relevance • BIM enables higher collaboration with multiple project teams for • Quick and accurate formwork planning and layout • Effective and efficient handling of change requests or RFIs • Faster identification and task assignment with greater clarity • Enhanced visualization and simulation for improved onsite operations

9. Produce high-quality concrete cast elements 4 • The Need • Garner greater accuracy and quality of concrete elements • Use of 3D BIM in formwork design ensures • Quick generation of formwork parts through ERP integration. • Enhanced concrete pour cycles with BOQs and BOMs and evaluate multiple use of formwork and its prototypes. • Efficient planning and alignment with real-time data and comprehensive construction sequencing.

10. Savings of cost & time with BIM-based formwork modeling 5 • The Need • Savings of project cost and timely completion with short TAT • BIM adoption for formwork in comparison to conventional methods results in • Coordinated formwork with concrete casting leads to seamless construction • Accurate material BOQs and BOMs lead to reduced material wastage and savings of project cost • Proper planning with BIM-based tools leads to reduction of project hiccups and ensures timely completion with short TAT

11. Formwork construction for commercial office saves 20% time Formwork production companies can save 20% in production schedules, garner 100% output quality, and achieve accurate and seamless project documentation.
