How BIM Coordination Minimizes RFIs and Site Errors in India

Introduction In India’s fast‑growing construction sector, minimizing delays, cost overruns, and quality issues is a top priority. Traditional project workflows often rely heavily on Requests for Information (RFIs) and frequent site clarifications due to incomplete or conflicting 2D drawings. These RFIs not only consume valuable time but also lead to site errors, costly rework, and project delays. Enter Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination — a revolutionary approach that is transforming how Indian architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects are executed. By integrating architecture, structure, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) designs into a coordinated 3D model, BIM reduces ambiguity, minimizes RFIs, and prevents site errors before construction begins. Understanding RFIs in Indian Construction Projects A Request for Information (RFI) is a formal process contractors or consultants use to seek clari...
