Clash detection and coordination services are indispensable for faultless construction!

Execution of construction projects is one of the most demanding jobs since it involves too many complications and technicalities. For accomplishing construction projects too many skilled people are required such as architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, drafters, modelers, fabricators and designers etc. Apart from these technical experts construction projects also involve contractors, builders and owners. All these people have to perform their individual tasks such as architect has to design building’s architecture; structural engineers have to design the structural framework and MEP engineers have to develop MEP design.

On the other hand drafters are accountable for generating construction drawings with the support of sophisticated software such as AutoCAD. Modelers are responsible for developing models and fabricators are required for fabricating structural components and MEP components.

When so many people are involved in the accomplishment of construction projects it is obvious to have complexities in it. Clash detection and coordination services that are accomplished much before the final on site construction help design development teams to improve their design. Clash detection process is carried out before coordination services are executed by the modelers so that multidiscipline models can be coordinated peacefully.

Right after the multidiscipline 3D models are accomplished by design development teams it becomes mandatory to execute clash detection services for figuring out design issues or errors between their model elements. So when it comes to executing clash detection services optimization of relevant software becomes highly important. In this case Navisworks is used by modelers.  So all the relevant Revit files belonging to different models are imported in Navisworks and they are quickly converted into Navisworks file formats. Revit files are converted into Navisworks file formats so that they can be conveniently read by Navisworks. Once file conversion task is accomplished users are required to switch to clash detective tool of Navisworks. Clash tests are conducted by technicians in Navisworks’ clash detective tool. All the possible clashes are identified by the professionals during clash detection process and these clashes are quickly corrected or rectified by them. Once rectification of clashes is over multidiscipline models are coordinated.

This largely helps architects and engineers when it comes to constructing a building on the specified location since they do not face any kinds of design issues.

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...
