Many construction projects experience budget and schedule overruns due to poor planning or communication, late decision-making by the many parties involved, and the inability to easily see what the actual project costs are. 2D CAD drawings alone will not be able to provide the necessary communication and coordination that is required in today’s rapidly changing and fast-paced environment, where timelines are very short (approaching the final deadline), and budgets are fixed.
BIM for construction management allows professionals to convert their design data into a more intelligent, coordinated, and measurable construction model. At CRESIRE, we have defined a way for architects, contractors, developers, and project managers to utilize BIM as a tool to execute the construction work, not just as a design tool.
The way we offer BIM for construction management services allows project professionals to reduce rework, have effective cost management, and improve site coordination while maintaining project timelines.
What Is BIM for Construction Management?
BIM for the management of construction work is the act of applying a digital model filled with data to manage the design and activities in the construction industry from the conceptual design phase through closeout.
The BIM process can further be divided into varying dimensions, including 3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D. These varying dimensions incorporate a specific aspect of information in the model that helps teams manage design, project scheduling, cost analysis, and building management.
Rather than reacting to problems on site, with BIM, project participants are able to forecast problems of design, costs, and stakeholder management before embarking on site.
With Cresire, BIM for Construction becomes a working model for:
- Site and Construction Management
- Interdisciplinary Model Coordination
- Quantity Takeoffs for Cost Management
- Facilities Management
Why BIM Is Critical for Construction Projects Today
Common Challenges Without BIM
- Frequent design conflicts discovered on-site
- Delays due to poor trade coordination
- Budget overruns from inaccurate quantities
- Rework caused by unclear drawings
- Limited visibility into project progress
How BIM Changes the Outcome
- Conflicts resolved before construction begins
- Clear sequencing and work packages
- Accurate material quantities
- Better collaboration across teams
- Faster and more confident decision-making
Cresire’s BIM for Construction Management Services
1. BIM Coordination & Clash Detection
We identify and resolve clashes between architectural, structural, and MEP systems early. This prevents costly site conflicts and delays.
Value delivered
- Fewer RFIs
- Reduced site rework
- Smoother trade coordination
2. 4D BIM Construction Planning
We link BIM models with project schedules to simulate construction sequences over time. This helps teams visualize execution before stepping on site.
Value delivered
- Optimized construction sequencing
- Improved resource planning
- Reduced schedule risks
3. 5D BIM Cost Estimation & Control
Cresire integrates quantities directly from the BIM model with cost data. This creates real-time cost visibility across the project lifecycle.
Value delivered
- Accurate quantity takeoffs
- Better cost forecasting
- Controlled budget variations
4. Construction Progress Tracking
As a leading BIM service provider, we update BIM models to reflect actual site progress. This gives project teams a clear picture of what is completed, delayed, or at risk.
Value delivered
- Visual progress reports
- Early identification of delays
- Data-backed project reviews
5. As-Built BIM Models for Handover
We deliver accurate as-built BIM models reflecting real construction conditions for facility management and future operations.
Value delivered
- Reliable asset data
- Faster maintenance planning
- Long-term operational value

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
1. What is BIM for construction management?
It is the use of BIM models to plan, coordinate, schedule, and control construction activities.
2. How does BIM reduce construction delays?
By identifying clashes early and visualizing construction sequences before execution.
3. Can BIM help control project costs?
Yes. BIM provides accurate quantities and real-time cost insights.
4. Is BIM useful for contractors?
Absolutely. It improves coordination, reduces rework, and supports better planning.
5. What is 4D BIM?
4D BIM links the model with time schedules to simulate construction sequencing.
6. What is 5D BIM?
5D BIM integrates cost data with the model for budget planning and control.
7. Does Cresire work with existing drawings?
Yes. We create BIM models from available drawings and project data.
