Enhancing R&D Lab Renovations with BIM Technology and EPCM Expertise
Genesis made use of BIM technology to deliver comprehensive EPCM services for this R&D vaccine lab renovation project. Employing rigorous Lean Delivery and Design Assist methodologies, we exceeded the stringent cost and schedule targets set. Our utilization of cutting-edge Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology for lab renovation not only facilitated a virtual walk-through that impressed users and stakeholders, but also proved instrumental in enabling seamless coordination and implementation.
Glossary:
- EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management): A common form of contracting arrangement within the construction industry. In an EPCM arrangement, the contractor is responsible for the design, procurement, and construction management of the project.
- Lean Delivery: A methodology aimed at maximizing value and minimizing waste during the production process.
- Design Assist: A collaborative method wherein the design team and construction team work together from the early stages of a project to enhance value, reduce costs, and promote efficient project delivery.
- Building Information Modeling (BIM): A digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. BIM serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility, forming a reliable basis for lab renovation decisions during its life-cycle.
