Building Information Modeling (BIM) helps to provide accurate and cost-effective solution for Structural Engineers. The model creation validates the design for constructability of various structures like columns, beam depths and more.  Moreover, analysis of detailed structural elements is made for project delivery in a risk free environment.  BIM services for structural engineers are often intended for various residential and commercial constructions. Keys BIM services for structural engineers include design development support & coordination, 3D Modeling , drawing set creation/construction documents as well as quantity take-off and cost estimate. Various software applications like Revit Structure, AutoCAD, Bentley and Tekla are used in the process of model creation for structural trade. Let’s now have a look at the various stages of Design evolution for Structural Engineers through BIM: Schematic Design – An initial design stage defines general project scope inc...

Construction professionals are often in need of Electrical shop drawings. These are mostly required for material ordering, installation and fabrication. The construction drawings help in pre-fabricating electrical assemblies, conduit, cable trays and other elements. Several information are included in the drawings including equipment tags and legend, rating & dimension, circuit reference, mounting height, service elevation, access clearance, expansion joints and more. Now, how the shop drawings get created? Let’s have a look at the steps of BIM Shop drawing creation: ·          Shop drawings get generated from BIM Models ·         Changes in model are automatically reflected in shop drawings ·         Shop Drawings are shown in detail including pull boxes, single line hatches ·         Complete  cable schedule is s...

Quality CAD Conversion services are much in demand today. CAD drafting service providers help to convert paper, PDF as well as scanned drawings into editable and accurate CAD drawings. CAD specialists re-draft all necessary conversions in CAD. They have practical expertise for understanding and converting drawings from various fields including architecture, engineering and construction. A wide array of software platforms are used like AutoCAD, Revit, Solidworks, Navisworks, MicroStation, 3DS Max and more for generating and delivering CAD conversion output drawings in various formats like .dwg, .dwf, .acis and more. The drawings offer high-level quality and accuracy in output. Let’s take a look at a few CAD Conversion services for various industries: ·          Conversion from Image to CAD Conversion – The image conversion helps to form accurate and un-broken CAD entities. All sketches are redrafted in drawing format to accurate CAD dra...

MEP BIM Services facilitate consultants, engineers, design firms and manufacturers to maximize efficiency for construction. Implementing BIM helps to deploy safest path for integrating construction process. Virtual design and construction solutions are often delivered for MEP design and validation from a wide array of inputs like contract & design documents, coordination drawings, equipment submittal and specification sheets. MEP Models can be prepared as per international standards of building construction. Choosing an expert MEP service provider enables construction firms as well as MEP contractors to install MEP systems with strategic planning for sustainability requirement of the project. Let’s check out a few MEP BIM Services: •         3D model creation for MEP layout •         3D model creation from point could data •         Preparation of Shop ...

4D BIM construction sequencing is a valuable resource for developing a project plan on a construction site. The construction sequencing occurs after building coordination & constructability reviews and simultaneously with 5D model-based cost estimation. 4d bim helps to strategize an overall construction of a building by helping various stakeholders.    Advantages of 4D BIM Construction Sequencing: ·          Illustrates spatial complexity of a project ·          Helps project team to assess results in “what if” scenario & simulation ·          Allows stakeholders to understand the process of schedule preparation & execution ·          Offers critical info to project stakeholders for planning & conducting analysis ·          Provides clear pictur...

BIM is building design, construction and management characterized by availability of accurate, consistent and reliable building info. The technology lets project team in visualizing, simulating and analyzing projects prior to construction.  Weighing Up the Advantages of BIM Marketing Presentation: ·          Intelligent Model Creation using Parameters like characters, numbers ·          Design Criteria captured during modeling ·          Project Delivery Comparison – Traditional Vs. BIM ·          Stakeholders work independently in silos & work together from a shared project model ·          Construction Planning – Anticipate & fix potential conflicts & field coordination ·          Prefabrication of lar...

Construction project stakeholders can access valuable info instantly about building model from BIM. This is simply because BIM makes it helpful for the designers to build an intelligent environment. Nevertheless, the limitation for creating such a BIM model is that it is created as per the info and input fed in the model by the design support team. In that case if a user looks for a specific system component, the model can offer significant info such as the model, make, cost, serial number & so on. Nowadays, spatial coordination has become a standard practice which has posed challenges for the trades that are not modeling their work. Consequently, fire protection contractors are becoming cautious to implement BIM that works in clash-detection programs like Autodesk Navisworks & more. Moreover, use of BIM helps to embrace fire alarm control panels, smoke detectors and other elements, comprising of a complete fire protection package. BIM Benefits in Fire Protecti...
