Streamline construction process with BIM

Building construction is a very complex process, wherein a lot of activities take place by applying various methods. A huge workforce is required along with many resources and equipments. And BIM helps in managing all these, by keeping a track on the information related to them. Building Information Modeling works as very sophisticated technology that helps in streamlining construction process.

It helps in planning construction activities as well as in making strong and efficient design regarding building design.

BIM’s use in pre-construction : Pre-construction stage is very significant in any building project. Entire replica of a building is created in the form of 3D model during this phase which sets a stage for actual construction that takes place in proposed location. Multidiscipline building models are developed by using Revit wherein BIM modelers optimize conventional CAD drawings. A 3D model that is generated after successfully executing design and drafting services is always of very high quality. 

Revit models are developed in Revit environment wherein information can be shared and optimized for the purpose of design development. The collaboration between design team is very effective for taking crucial decisions which help in taking design to a next level.

4D BIM is also utilized fully by construction teams, especially by the contractors who develop construction schedules from it. This hugely assists in the management of construction process. All the actors involved in building project can prepare themselves in advance for the upcoming construction activity. Things like delays and inconsistencies can be avoided largely by project teams, by utilizing construction schedules. 4D simulations can also be generated by 4D BIM, which assist the viewers in knowing step by step process of construction. That means when construction professionals watch simulation videos that get to know which building module will be completed when.

5D BIM is also crucial for streamlining construction process as it tells in advance the amount of money needed for constructing a building. By measuring material take offs, it becomes easy to calculate project cost. By knowing the project costs in advance contractors try to optimize that money to get maximum benefits out of that.

In this way BIM helps in solving all the construction related issues in preconstruction stage itself, which ultimately supports in streamlining construction process.

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 fil...

An Introduction of 4D BIM Techniques

Image
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...

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 generat...
