Modular construction is a process wherein structural modules can be fabricated and assembled in an offsite factory, and then moved to the actual onsite location for installation. The use of modular construction with BIM helps construction firms reduce project schedules, drive higher construction quality, improve site safety, and reduce environmental impact. This article discusses smart planning and construction with modular units supported by BIM.

Automating quantity takeoffs, extracting precise estimation, streamlining formwork, resolving issues with clash detection, and providing easy access to formwork data are advantages that keep formwork contractors' cash flow positive. BIM plays an important role in enhancing formwork construction to achieve practical, hassle-free, and safe construction. This article focuses on the advantages and applications of BIM for formwork modeling.
