When planning a home extension, time is of the essence. Homeowners want the project completed efficiently, without unnecessary delays or disruptions. However, traditional construction methods often lead to project holdups, from delays in communication to unforeseen issues during construction.
Design and Build 2.0 offers a modern solution, integrating all aspects of your home extension project under one roof. At Reltic BIM, we use BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology to streamline every stage, from design to completion, helping to reduce delays and ensure your extension is delivered on time and within budget.
What is Design and Build 2.0?
Design and Build 2.0 is an advanced construction model that integrates the design, construction, and project management processes into a single service. Unlike the traditional model, where homeowners deal with multiple contractors and consultants, Design and Build 2.0 offers a seamless, end-to-end solution with one dedicated team.
By using BIM technology, we create 3D, 4D, and 5D digital models of your home extension, allowing for precise planning, efficient construction, and real-time project tracking. This approach helps prevent delays, ensures better coordination, and gives homeowners full transparency throughout the project.
Why Design and Build 2.0 Reduces Delays in Home Extensions
1.Integrated Communication and Project Management
In traditional construction, the communication between architects, contractors, and consultants can often be disjointed. This fragmentation leads to misunderstandings, delays in decision-making, and unnecessary back-and-forth.
With Design and Build 2.0, we provide a single point of contact for the entire project. You won’t need to coordinate multiple teams – we manage everything for you. This integration leads to quicker responses, better coordination, and ultimately fewer delays.
2.Real-Time Monitoring with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)
With Design and Build 2.0, you gain access to a real-time project tracking system through Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). This platform enables you to monitor the progress of your home extension, view documentation, track invoices, and communicate with the project team at any time.
Having all project data in one place reduces the risk of delays due to miscommunication or missing information, keeping the project on schedule. If issues arise, they can be addressed immediately, rather than waiting for updates or feedback from multiple teams.
3.Accurate Planning with 4D Construction Sequencing
With 4D BIM technology, we create a digital construction timeline that maps out every stage of the project. By visualising each phase in 3D, we ensure that all tasks are completed in the right order, with no overlap or wasted time. This method eliminates downtime, reduces the risk of missing materials or resources, and helps to keep everything moving forward according to plan.
Having a precise timeline helps us foresee potential delays and solve any scheduling conflicts before they become issues, ensuring your home extension stays on track.
4.Accurate Budgeting with 5D Cost Estimation
Budget overruns can be a major source of delays in construction. Traditional methods often result in unexpected costs that can derail the project timeline. With 5D BIM, we integrate cost estimation into the design process, providing an accurate, real-time view of the project’s costs.
As changes are made to the design, the cost estimates are automatically updated, ensuring that you always know where your budget stands. By staying on top of the financials, we avoid delays caused by cost-related issues, keeping the project within budget and on time.
5.Identifying and Resolving Issues Early
In traditional construction, problems are often discovered late in the process, leading to delays, rework, and additional costs. With BIM, we can detect potential issues early in the design phase. Whether it’s a structural conflict, a clash between plumbing and electrical systems, or a design flaw, these issues can be addressed before construction begins.
This early problem-solving approach significantly reduces the risk of delays, as the majority of potential issues are resolved during the planning and design phase, rather than during construction.
6.Optimised Workflow and Efficient Resource Management
One of the main causes of delays is inefficient resource management. Traditional construction often suffers from mismanaged schedules, uncoordinated teams, and wasted resources. With Design and Build 2.0, we optimise every stage of the home extension process, ensuring that the right resources are available at the right time.
4D BIM allows us to synchronise materials, labour, and equipment, making sure that no phase of the project is delayed due to lack of resources or unplanned downtime.
The Benefits of Design and Build 2.0 for Homeowners
For homeowners, Design and Build 2.0 offers several key advantages that reduce delays and make the home extension process smoother:
Faster Project Delivery: With better planning, real-time monitoring, and integrated communication, your home extension is completed more efficiently.
Less Stress: Having one team manage every aspect of the project eliminates the need to juggle multiple contractors and schedules, giving you more peace of mind.
Greater Control: With Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), you have full visibility into the progress of your project, enabling you to make informed decisions and stay updated at all times.
On-Time Delivery: With 4D BIM and 5D cost estimation, the project is well-planned and managed, reducing the risk of delays and ensuring the home extension is completed on schedule.
