3D BIM Modeling Facilitating Onsite Accuracy & Efficiency

Image
Seamless use of 3D BIM modeling through the delivery process is aiding many avant-garde projects. Consequently, the construction professionals set out to maximize the efficiency offered by BIM and removed the need for printed plans, sections and elevations. BIM has introduced an entirely different way of working and the professionals are using the digital model throughout the design, logistics and construction. Now, let’s check out how 3D BIM Modeling is facilitating onsite accuracy and efficiency? Visualizing Construction Process - The professionals make use of construction planning and simulation software for developing the program schedule. This helps to visualize the construction process, highlighting the opportunities for efficiency and makes it easier to spot where work can take place simultaneously in multiple areas to prevent multiple contractors working at the same area. In this way, the scheduling error is detected much ahead of time and ensures that no item or act

Take Productivity to the Next Level Combining IPD with BIM

Image
Want to take the productivity of your construction project to the next level? Why don’t you think of combining IPD with BIM? IPD or the Integrated Project Delivery method helps to cooperate and collaborate between the project stakeholders like the building owners, engineers, architects, contractors and fabricators from the beginning of the construction work. If this is used with Building Information Modeling Services, it would enhance project productivity through different stages of construction.  The industry experts are thinking of enhancing project productivity by combining IPD with BIM as this collaboration would help to improve project planning, designing and construction and would result in on-time project delivery. Now, what’s the specialty of implementing IPD? This collaborative approach makes sure that all the parties involved with the project are equally responsible for the success and failure of the project. As a result of which the risks and rewards are also shared e

BIM Fever Gripping the Construction Sector

Nowadays, almost everybody is talking about implementing Building Information Modeling in the construction sector. In fact, 3/4 th  of the construction industry is said to have been engulfed by BIM fever as per the recent report of the National BIM Survey in Manchester. This survey showed that the BIM implementation awareness has grown steadily from 58% in 2010 to 95% in 2014. But, what are the reasons for the much hype about this  Architectural BIM Services ? Let’s check out the main causes for the most sought after construction technology in this blog: Competitive Advantages -  Most of the AEC professionals rely on BIM as it provides them competitive advantages. The survey report reveals 70% construction firms to have already implemented BIM solution and fulfilled their demands. 4D BIM solutions perform scheduling and phasing in an efficient manner, whereas the 5D services offer cost efficacy by estimating the costs of materials, quantities, resources and take-offs. BIM also
