Is it better to do construction and switch to BIM or cost consulting?

Objectively speaking, construction to BIM relative to construction to cost is better. There are three reasons:

One, the development prospects of BIM is better BIM technology is the construction industry transformation of the basic type of technology

Why does construction need digital transformation?

In the context of the world entering the era of digital economy, all industries are carrying out digital transformation, digital technology has changed many industries, such as manufacturing. Manufacturing is an industry closer to construction, and companies in this industry have achieved a high degree of sophistication in the production of their products through digital technology, such as Tesla, Apple, and Boeing.

In comparison, at present, China's construction industry, high pollution, high energy consumption, low efficiency of the current still exists, the digitalization is still running at a low level, the construction enterprise profit margin is generally low.

To get rid of the dilemma of the development of the construction industry, it is necessary to use digital means to change the original backward to the production methods and management mode, to promote the sustainable development of construction enterprises, and realize the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry.

At this stage, the profit margin of China's construction enterprises as a whole is on the low side, and the cost control ability needs to be further improved.

On July 19, 2018, the Fortune (Chinese version) released the world's top 500 list, the construction industry*** has 11 companies on the list, and China's construction enterprises occupy 7 places.

From the point of view of revenue scale, the average revenue income of Chinese construction enterprises on the list in 2017 was 1.65 times higher than that of foreign enterprises; however, in terms of profitability, the annual net interest rate of Chinese construction enterprises was 1.84%, while that of foreign construction enterprises was 4.68%, with foreign countries being nearly 3 percentage points higher than our China!

BIM technology as the core technology of digital transformation, and other digital technology integration and application will be to promote the enterprise digital transformation and upgrading of the core technology support.

Second, the costing industry also need to learn BIM technology

1- What are the contents of the BIM costing course?

Small Building Education's BIM costing course is based on the hottest whole-process cost management in China, which not only includes the basic modeling skills of Revit (civil+electromechanical) for multiple disciplines of building construction and the hands-on training of BIM5D management software, but also teaches the whole-process (decision-making, design, bidding, construction, and completion) of BIM in conjunction with four software programs, such as Revit, BIM5D, Quanta GTJ, and Quanta Pricing, The course theory + practical, case content is rich, strong practical, closely follow the industry development trend, suitable for zero basic quick start.

2- Learning cost BIM need to master which several software, respectively do what with?

The cost BIM course is mainly based on four software explanations, students are required to learn two and familiar with two software, the first is revit software, mainly used for basic modeling, you need to focus on learning, the second is the BIM5D software, mainly used to do the progress of the cost of control, you need to focus on learning, the third is the Quanta GTJ quantitative software, mainly responsible for the project quantitatively, familiar with, the fourth is Quanta pricing software. The fourth is GTJ pricing software, mainly to do engineering pricing, familiar with it.

Third, relative to building construction or cost consulting BIM field of promotion and salary increase will be faster

In general, BIM as the construction industry's basic type of new technology, BIM talent (note that BIM talent rather than only modeling people) market demand is far greater than the market supply, and the BIM technology is a new technology, so the top layer of experts are missing, and those who Those who understand BIM technology and have project experience can easily stand out as experts in the field of BIM technology, and the speed of this promotion is very rare in the construction industry.

Let's take China Construction Group as an example, and briefly analyze the promotion path of BIMer from the two levels of school recruitment and social recruitment.

BIM is a big luxury tanker, can carry you to the far side of your unexpected; but in the docking 1KM place you need to swim ashore, because BIM is a new technology, specific how to apply in the work, how to apply, need to each person to think, to force the people to go, to go to the practice of little by little.

Lastly, I would like to add that having experience in building construction will make it easier to get to the essence of BIM technology, and will give you a better foundation in the BIM learning process.
