What kind of Revolution and transformation is brought by BIM?

BIM is nothing less than a magic wand for AEC professionals which help them in intelligently executing the project. The physical and functional characteristics of a building are represented through BIM models which are generated by utilizing Revit. That means BIM users first execute the project in a virtual environment and depending upon its success, final onsite construction takes place.
Prior to the presence of BIM technology in Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, a lot of issues were faced by architects and engineers on the proposed location. That ultimately caused huge problems for owners and contractors apart from architects and engineers in terms of increasing project cost and late project delivery.

But Building Information Modeling changed the entire construction scenarios. Preconstruction engineering services such as structural modeling and structural detailing services, MEP Modeling services and clash detection and coordination services extremely lessened the burdens of architects and engineers. The successful execution of BIM services much before the actual building process starts eliminated the risk of onsite changes and rework in the building design.

Since the building design is developed with a collaborative approach, there remains no question of design flaws. Every construction activity is carried out flawlessly. Many new dimensions have been added to BIM models now and this assists in disclosing even more important information regarding the building project. For example 4D BIM, wherein one more dimension is incorporated with 3D, helps in providing information that is related to time. This is because time is the fourth dimension of a BIM model.

Project managers of construction project can develop construction schedules by optimizing 4D BIM model. 4D scheduling helps in providing clear cut knowledge to construction professionals such as which building part will be construction when and how much time should be allotted to that etc.

4D BIM also helps in developing 4D simulations, which helps in showing step by step process of construction. 4D simulations are very significant for all the building stakeholders. It enriches their knowledge regarding the actual construction process and gives its every detail. However, 5D helps in budget management, since ‘cost’ is the fifth dimension of a BIM model.

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...

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...
