4D BIM and its contributions for AEC professionals!

There are countless contributions and beneficiations of Building Information Modeling for AEC professionals in terms of project execution. As far as I know execution of building project is one of the most difficult tasks as it involves too many complexities and hardships for architects and engineers. Architects and engineers are together accountable for the successful execution of construction project as they have to look after the design complexities of building design. Architect, structural engineer and MEP engineers have to be responsible for designing the multidiscipline building systems such as architecture, structure and MEP systems. So BIM is equally beneficial for architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers when it comes to designing building systems.

The architectural design developed by architects improves when BIM models are developed for it. That means when a design is represented with the assistance of BIM model chances of its improvement increase by manifolds.  That is because BIM models can be altered as many times as possible by design and construction professionals during the design development phase. In other words BIM models are a great source of design improvement since implementation of changes in them is quite easy.

When it comes to explaining the contributions of 4D BIM for AEC professionals I would say they are endless. A 4D BIM model is developed by design and construction professionals with the addition of a new dimension that is ‘time’ to 3D model.  Addition of a new dimension means addition of more information in the model. When time is linked to 3D model, design and construction professionals become capable of developing construction schedules with the assistance of 4D BIM. Construction schedules developed by design and construction professionals help in explaining onsite construction time table or routine to AEC professionals.

4D BIM also supports ACE professionals in developing 4D simulations that explains step by step construction process. 4D simulations and construction schedules developed with the support of BIM models provide transparency to AEC professionals in terms of step by step construction process and the time needed for its accomplishment.

The clarity provided by 4D BIM to building stakeholders helps in better management of construction process.

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 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...

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...
