Relevance of clash detection services for construction projects

BIM clash detection solutions are integral part of building process as they are indispensable for detecting clashes between multidiscipline models. The need for clash detection is inevitable since multiple models are developed by design and construction professionals for accomplishing construction of a building.  As separate 3D models are created for architecture, structure and MEP it becomes necessary for AEC professionals to figure out whether there remain  any design inconsistencies between the models or not. Structural engineers and MEP engineers are liable to create design for their disciplines based on architects’ specifications which are based on architectural design.

So whether the specifications are appropriately followed by structural engineers and MEP engineers are all checked out during clash detection. The independent building models that are developed by independent design development teams have to be coordinated once clashes are detected between them and sorted out as well.

Models cannot be coordinated without sorting out design inconsistencies between them which is done during clash detection process. So once every design development team completes their task of developing 3D models it is followed by execution of clash detection services. Here comes the time when Navisworks comes into picture and helps design and construction professionals in eliminating the clashes between different models by identifying them successfully. 

Clash tests are run by AEC professionals with the support of clash detective tool that is incorporated in Navisworks. Navisworks is also an Autodesk product like AutoCAD, Revit, and 3ds Max etc and it supports all the files that are developed with the assistance of these Autodesk applications. Clashes can be identified by Navisworks between individual 3D models and from a composite master model that contains all the elements of multidiscipline models in it. Its mechanism is such that clashes identified during the process are highlighted with colors so that they can be easily recognized when AEC professionals want to resolve them.

Effective solutions are provided for the clashes by the team quickly and the individual 3D models are assembled together for making a master building model. In this way errors and design inconsistencies are completely eliminated from the models which finally lead to flawless construction.

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...
