The Rise of Building Information Modeling

The electrical construction industry is going through a digital transformation, and Building Information Modeling is at the center of it. Technology is reshaping the way teams design, build, and maintain projects long after construction ends BIM is providing a smarter approach to planning. Experts estimate that 70% of the U.S. construction industry will adopt BIM this year.

Rogers Electric uses BIM to deliver tailored electrical solutions, boost efficiency, and support every construction phase 

What Is Building Information Modeling? 

Building Information Modeling (BIM) transforms how teams plan, design, coordinate, and execute electrical construction projects. This introduces a new level of intelligence and efficiency to the industry.

BIM is a digital representation of a building’s physical and functional attributes. For instance, the platform integrates detailed structural, mechanical, and electrical data into a centralized 3D model that evolves throughout the entire project lifecycle. 

It is far more than a visual tool; it’s a collaborative platform that enhances communication across Rogers Electric’s pre-construction team. BIM minimizes costly errors and accelerates project delivery. 

By allowing teams to visualize electrical systems in a virtual environment before installation begins, we can detect and resolve conflicts early and ensure seamless integration with other trades. This proactive approach not only improves design accuracy and construction but also reduces change orders, field rework, and delays.

At Rogers Electric, BIM is helping lead the way in delivering innovative, data-driven electrical solutions for today’s most complex construction projects. 

We work closely with engineers, Rogers Electric commercial electricians, general contractors, and facility managers in real time, so that we are aligned from day one. BIM supports smarter material planning, more accurate budgeting, and allows for prefabrication of complex projects. This process results in higher quality outcomes and more predictable timelines.

Benefits of BIM in Electrical Construction 

Building Information Modeling allows the pre-construction team to plan smarter, build with greater precision and improve operational efficiency. With 3D modeling capabilities, we can identify and resolve conflicts before construction even begins, saving time, reducing risk, and cutting costs.  

The value of BIM goes beyond just design, construction, and operations. Teams streamline the pre-construction process by visualizing the electrical layout in a virtual environment, so teams fully coordinate every system before implementation on-site.

Reduced Costs- Identifying conflicts early on in the pre-construction phase helps minimize added costs to your project, reducing changes, and costs of added materials.

Improved Maintenance- Providing digital records of electrical systems for facility managers to locate and service with accuracy.  In addition, there’s minimal downtime to daily operations is a more cost-effective approach for upgrades and repairs. 

Real-time Monitoring- Integrating live data into the digital building model to observe power usage and system performance. This shows how electrical systems are functioning to tackle issues before they arise or become critical. 

Better Project Management- Project managers can track progress in real time with all design and construction data in one digital model. This allows for fewer delays and enhanced communication throughout the electrical construction process. 

The Building Information Modeling market is on track to double in 15 years.

The Future Is Modeled

As the electrical construction industry continues to embrace digital innovation, Building Information Modeling is becoming the new standard. It is not just a tool for planning and design, but for long-term efficiency and performance for businesses. By 2030, the Building Information Modeling market is set to reach over 19 billion dollars. 

From rational rollouts, servicing facility upgrades on electrical work to new construction, BIM allows for Rogers Electric to exceed expectations at every step. The future of electrical construction is not just being built, it is being modeled.
