Constructibility refers to ensuring in advance that a building or structure can be built efficiently, in terms of time, resources and money. Building Information Modeling, when developed and accurate enough, lets the industry achieve efficiency with information-rich, as-built models and find possible problems before starting to work, using or wasting real materials. As-built models minimize costly surprises, RFI's (requests for information) and opening the way for more profitable projects.
If the question is "What is BIM?", constructibility should be a part of the answer. With Tekla, constructibility is the foundation of developing BIM software. Software must meet the needs of the industry, putting the “I” like information to BIM - the more information a model includes, the more beneficial it is to all project parties.
Everyday constructibility
Constructibility is a practical, everyday issue for builders. Because construction is a process, software must support the whole workflow including the inevitable changes. As buildings comprise several materials, software should be able to handle the same.
Constructible, as-built models allow the industry to make informed decisions early in the process. Tekla Structures
