Revolutionizing construction with BIM: the experience of CLERHP Structures

The world of architecture and engineering is undergoing a transformation thanks to the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology. This tool not only optimizes design and construction, but also improves communication between disciplines and reduces costs.

At CLERHP Structures, we have adopted BIM as an essential part of our process,
consolidating ourselves as leaders in innovation within the construction sector.

CLERHP Structures' commitment to innovation

At CLERHP, we believe in the power of technology to transform projects into efficient and sustainable realities. Our architectural team uses BIM from the earliest conceptual phases through to detailed development, ensuring that each design is aligned with client expectations and market needs. This approach allows us to deliver cutting-edge architectural solutions that combine creativity, precision and functionality.

BIM in action: Success stories at CLERHP

One of the most prominent examples of the use of BIM in CLERHP is the project Larimar City & Resort. Since its inception, we have worked with 3D models that have progressively evolved into more detailed versions. This has allowed us to:

  • Optimize times: we designed repeatable modules that accelerated the overall development of the project.
  • Detect errors early: thanks to coordination with disciplines such as structures and installations, we avoid conflicts between construction elements.
  • Commercial support: We used BIM models to generate rendered images and videos that facilitated the commercialization of the project.

Although we have not yet implemented 4D (time phases) or 6D (advanced energy simulations) models on a large scale, we have conducted promising experimental tests in projects such as PRIME Towers.

Advantages of using BIM in CLERHP.

BIM implementation has transformed the way we work. Some key benefits include:

Speed ​​and precision

Designing with real objects (walls, floors) instead of abstract lines improves accuracy and reduces errors.

Integration with tools such as BIM360 allows for real-time collaborative review, ensuring all models are synchronized and free from interference.

Changes made to the model are instantly reflected in plans, sections and 3D views, saving time and avoiding inconsistencies.

We manage versions and changes to ensure a transparent and efficient workflow.

How are BIM models integrated with other design tools in CLERHP?

At CLERHP, the integration of BIM models with other design tools is carried out through a collaborative and technological approach that optimizes the design, construction and management processes. The main aspects of this integration are highlighted below:

Use of specialized software

CLERHP uses Autodesk Revit as the main tool for developing 3D BIM models. This platform allows for the creation of detailed architectural models that are shared with other disciplines, such as structures and installations (MEP), facilitating coordination and avoiding interference between construction elements. In addition, BIM360 has been implemented, a cloud-based tool that improves real-time collaboration between teams by allowing models to be reviewed, shared and updated from anywhere.

 

BIM models created by the architecture team serve as a basis for the structural and facilities engineering disciplines to develop their own models. All models are then integrated to detect conflicts or interferences using tools such as Navisworks and BIM360. This process ensures that designs are aligned before the construction phase, reducing errors and associated costs.

CLERHP has opted for advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to enrich the experience with BIM models. These technologies allow projects to be viewed at a 1:1 scale in real or virtual environments, facilitating both technical reviews and commercial presentations. In addition, tools such as VT-Platform combine BIM with AR/VR to improve productivity in the construction sector.

 

Integration also includes the use of web platforms that allow BIM models to be managed from any browser. These tools facilitate access to project data in real time and ensure that all information is centralized and up-to-date throughout the project lifecycle.

Although CLERHP has not developed its own specific tools for BIM, it has explored innovative solutions such as energy simulations (6D model) and automated measurements (5D model) in pilot projects. These initiatives demonstrate its commitment to continuous improvement and the search for new methodologies.

Therefore, CLERHP integrates BIM models with other tools through a robust technological ecosystem that includes advanced software, collaborative platforms and immersive technologies. This not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the design, but also strengthens its Leadership in innovation within the AEC sector (Architecture, Engineering and Construction).

Conclusion

Adopting BIM is not just a technical tool; it is a commitment to excellence and innovation. CLERHP StructuresWe use this methodology to ensure that each project meets the highest quality standards, while optimizing resources and generating trust in our clients and investors.
