What are fundamental reasons for using BIM in construction?

Building Information Modeling is such an indispensable and innovative process that makes use of cutting edge technology to accomplish building projects. It has totally altered the shape of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry upside down by providing a way for seamless construction. All the complications that used to be faced by architects, engineers, constructors and building owners have now been simplified by BIM. Implementation of high end technology which once seemed so impractical in context of construction industry is now the biggest reality. Software technology is fully embraced by design and construction professionals for the accomplishment of engineering services that are largely required by them in the preconstruction stage.

Today construction professionals can’t even think of accomplishing a building project without employing software such as Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks and 3ds Max etc. which are undisputedly required in the execution of design and drafting and modeling services. Compared to earlier building projects can now be accomplished fast due to BIM. Implementation of innovative technology and tools in construction process are ultimately accountable for speedy industrialization and rapid development of cities which eventually indicates human development.

One of the prime reasons for the implementation of BIM in construction projects is that BIM models are the most trusted source of authentic project related information as every detail is recorded in them during modeling process. Architects and engineers have to refer authentic information related to the building when they carry out onsite construction and that becomes possible with the assistance of construction drawings that are acquired from 3D models.

As different models are created by architects and engineers for architecture, structure and MEP BIM helps in coordinating all these models. The main intention behind coordination is to figure out if all the individual models have the ability to coexist in harmony or not. So during coordination process a lot of inconsistencies are indentified by the modelers between models belonging to different building trades. So the errors identified during clash detection process which is the primary step of coordination process are successfully sorted out by architects and engineers by manipulating 3D models. 

BIM  is crucial technology and tool for eliminating rework. As all the clash related problems are dealt during clash detection process no design errors are faced by AEC professionals on the proposed location which eradicates rework. This saves huge sums of money and time leading to high productivity and on time project delivery.

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...
