An introduction to BIM: A technology adopted by AEC professionals for seamless construction

Building Information Modeling is adopted for the purpose of seamless construction by Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry professionals. If we go back in history, BIM had no trace prior to thirty years but it had a remarkable journey in construction industry in the last three decades. The huge growth that has been made by AEC industry in the last three decades should be entirely credited to BIM.

BIM provide a huge platform to AEC professionals for developing virtual models for the building in question. In the landscapes of AEC industry BIM is also known as Virtual Design and Construction. Virtual construction and Design which focuses on the development of effective 3D models, provides a huge chance to architects and engineers when it comes to improving the design of the building.

When 3D building models are created by architects and engineers with the assistance of BIM technology, they are often developed with the collaboration of entire design team. This eventually assists the design team in creating precise models when it comes to their geometry and composition.

Modeling process is often followed by the execution of BIM clash detection and BIM coordination services. The main reason and purpose of performing clash detection and coordination services is to understand the harmony and coexistence of multidiscipline building models. This means whether the building models developed by the interdisciplinary design teams can successfully coexist with each other or not. Many a times due to design flaws there comes a problem in term of coexistence of 3D models. These design flaws are often unveiled during clash detection services that are executed by the technicians with the assistance of Navisworks. When successful solutions are given to the clashes that are identified during clash detection process it eventually enhances the coexistence capacity of the models. In other words when design related issues in terms of clashes are successfully rectified by the design team 3D models can then coexist with each other.


So in this way the final construction is always carried out flawlessly by architects and engineers since all the complexities related to building design are dealt long back.

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...
