BIM (Building Information Modeling)
BIM modeling provides a collaborative and integrated approach to building design and construction, allowing all stakeholders to work together on a single digital model. This approach facilitates communication, reduces errors, and streamlines the construction process. BIM models can also be used for facility management and maintenance, enabling owners and operators to better understand and manage their buildings throughout their life cycle.
BIM modeling has become an essential tool in the construction industry, particularly in large and complex projects. Its use is expected to continue to grow as technology advances and more stakeholders adopt this collaborative and integrated approach to building design and construction.
FEED (Front End Engineering Design)
FEED (Front End Engineering Design) means Basic Engineering which is conducted after completion of Conceptual Design or Feasibility Study. At this stage, before start of EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction), various studies take place to figure out technical issues and estimate rough investment cost. This work is normally contracted to EPC contractors such as Maxwell Consulting Norway, as an optional contract or through bidding. The product of the activity is called “FEED Package” which amounts up to dozens of files and will be the basis of bidding for EPC Contract.
It is important to reflect client’s intentions and project specific requirements in to the FEED Package without fail, in order to avoid significant change during EPC Phase.
