BIM Execution Plan and Its Importance for Construction Companies

Image
Overview The advent of BIM Modeling into the construction industry has prevailed the implementation of BIM Execution Plan to enhance the right flow of work to execute the project successfully. It can be analysis and execution during various phases of the project. What is BIM Execution Plan? BIM Execution Plan is a complex and detailed document that helps the project team to identify and execute the role of BIM in various phases of construction in the project. BEP needs to be accurate to make the teams keep on track by focusing on details, saving on time and reduces rework. BEP is primarily used when there is a higher level of complexity and project size is huge. It lays an overall plan with details as to how the process will be executed. It is the process of creating a digital model of building or structures to aid collaboration among people involved in the project. BEP Comprises of type of information as followed: •     How to create data in BIM files. •     Ho

An Introduction of 4D BIM Techniques

Overview Construction scheduling in project management is about recording project benchmarks, outputs, start and end date of a predetermined building project. 4D BIM that caters to Construction Scheduling is also known as Construction sequencing. It includes project drafting and project extraction arrangement for every project management. Construction Scheduling is vital for the construction as labor force, equipment and other related activities require effective organizing and scheduling of construction activities. It helps in knowing the time to accomplish the project and streamline the cost estimation factor for all the construction professionals. Construction scheduling techniques of projects Several techniques help the contractor to keep construction scheduling of the project. Aiding in project requirement assessment and overcome challenges of the project schedule. Bar Charts: It is considered as one of the most common technique to generate construction schedul

What kinds of drawings and plans are produced by steel detailers?

Image
Most of the plans and drawings which are required for steel structure are created by steel detailers. Steel detailing services are truly very necessary for developing enduring structure. The overall accountability of obtaining steel detailing services stays on the shoulders of construction managers who have to effectively figure out an outsourcing company which expertise in providing high-end steel detailing services.  Outsourcing companies deliver steel detailing services to structural engineers and structural engineering firms across the globe. These companies are effectively equipped with skilled steel detailers who can effectively deal with all kinds of issues and technicalities related to the detailing process of steel components.  For developing meticulous or explicit steel detailing drawings, steel detailers have to comply with right detailing standards according to the location of the proposed project.   Discrete detailing standards are used in distin

BIM modeling services: Which software solutions can be used for developing 3D parametric models?

Building Information Modeling technology is closely related to the development of 3D parametric models for architecture, structure and MEP, which are effectively packed with all the essential information pertaining to design and construction. Building Information Modeling services have become the cardinal requirement for architects and engineers when it comes to the flawless execution of building projects.  Building Information Modeling services are not only important for design and construction professionals but also for building owners, construction managers and fabricators etc.  BIM is the process of developing the entire building in virtual world through high-end Building Information Modeling applications like Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP. All these BIM applications are used for developing the entire building in 3D. Actually the design of every building discipline is separately represented through 3D parametric models which are generated with t

Application of drafting standards makes huge difference in drawing quality

Image
Quality of drawings makes substantial difference in the execution of construction projects. We can never ignore the fact that a low quality drawing has the potential to ruin the entire project drastically.   It is very disappointing when owners keep thinking about receiving high-performing buildings but they are delivered with not so high-quality buildings. The development of high as well as low quality buildings starts right at the time of developing Construction drawings which are generally created by a team of drafters associated to services providing companies.  Drawings remain the most informative tools for architects and engineers at the time of building construction, and imagine if they do not carry accurate information, the entire drea ms of developing effective buildings ends up there.  But the entire construction process can be reinforced if computer aided drafters start following the instructions, specifications and guidelines provided by the clients eff

Scan to BIM: Is there any other process through which BIM models can be developed for Renovation projects

Scan to BIM & Point Cloud to BIM is a process which is implemented by Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry professionals for surveying the as-built building and then creating parametric models from the data obtained from the survey process. Scan to BIM is a comprehensive process wherein two independent activities are performed which include conducting the survey of the building for gathering as-built information and developing precise BIM models from that information.  With the implementation of laser scanning technology design and construction professionals can extract maximum as-built information in minimum time. Extremely high quality laser scanners are used for scanning as-built buildings, which can capture everything that exist in the surface of the building.  For conducting survey process, professionals are required to install the laser scanners in the right place so that building can be scanned swiftly. For the detailed survey of the building
