Effective design development is a prerequisite for developing high performing buildings!

Before dealing with any issue regarding the development of building design, I would like to emphasize on what is a high performing building. Well a high performing building is a building that makes the best use of its mechanism to perform against all odds. That means a high performing building is a building that uses reasonable amount of energy for satisfying its energy requirements, whose structural framework is strong enough to tackle all types of loads and which can be used for a long time by its occupants.

Construction of such buildings was not that easy for AEC professionals a few decades back when BIM and CAD technology were far from their reach. Adoption of both CAD and BIM has huge impacts on construction projects as they can now be executed swiftly and seamlessly.  As CAD software transformed the drafting process similarly BIM software transformed modeling process. And both drafting and modeling phases of construction project are extremely important as accurate drafting can have positive impacts on the execution of modeling services.

In other words drawings created during drafting process are extremely precious for BIM modelers, because the information incorporated in these drawings is used as a reference point by modelers when they generate 3D models. AutoCAD helps in generating extremely immaculate architectural, structural and MEP drawings that are used by design development teams for generating multidiscipline models.

Building design transforms greatly when Revit modeling is carried out for different building disciplines. Models developed in Revit’s environment are highly pristine when it comes to accuracy of the information incorporated in them. That is because they are developed with the close cooperation and collaboration of all the design members. Correct information is the key for generating potent models that are abundantly important for constructing efficient buildings. 

When 3D models for different disciplines are developed in Revit, energy analysis can also be performed for them.  BIM models belonging to different building disciplines can be spontaneously changed into energy analytical models which are used for analyzing energy requirements. Energy analysis conducted on the building models help design and construction professionals in knowing the energy demands of the building as well as in revamping its design.  Improved or immaculate building design results in the construction of high performing buildings.

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...
