Building Information Modeling Services Offer a Unique Way to Building Construction

Image
AEC professionals have discovered a new approach to construction with 3D BIM Modeling. The implementation of Building Information Modeling services by the engineers and architects has revolutionized the construction sector. In fact, BIM service has now become the talk of the town as it is providing a unique way to building construction. The construction professionals are getting unbelievable productivity by implementing BIM. Different stages of the construction including the planning, designing, construction as well as the post construction operations are reaping the benefits of BIM.  A number of software applications like the Revit Structure, Revit Architecture and Revit MEP are catering BIM technology to develop building in a virtual world. Let’s check out how BIM is facilitating construction sector in a unique way: Generating Material Takeoff & Bill of Materials – Revit software generates material takeoffs & bill of materials in construction that help the bui

Benefits of Building Information Modeling Services

While Computer Aided Drafting portrays construction elements with lines defining the structural geometry,  Building Information Modeling  creates structural elements as intelligent objects with parametric data, along with the physical dimensions. Every BIM model element can relate to the other objects and designs. Moreover, objects in the BIM walls could be stretched, joined and moved as and when required.  When a wall extends from the foundation to level 1 in BIM, the height of the wall gets adjusted automatically with parametric change. The doors and the windows are also aware of their relationship to the walls where they are placed and behave accordingly for making adjustment.  Let’s check out a few benefits of  using Building Information Modeling Services : Risk Mitigation  – The risk for a construction project automatically gets changed with the use of BIM.  The project participants can work with a collaborative and integrated approach. Hence, measures can be taken 

Why 3D Modeling is Vital for Construction Sector?

Image
3D drafting services have brought about improvement and efficiency in the construction sector.  A good number of organizations have opted for 3D modeling to improve on the building design, creation and marketing. 3D model helps to present an idea to the potential clients and to other members of the company in a clear way. Moreover, changes can be made in the 3D model quickly for incorporating new ideas and suggestions from clients and company members. Now, you may ask how the marketing efforts of the company are improved in 3D ? The answer is simply by presenting the building model in an animated way to the clients for showcasing its features and functions. Furthermore, the computerized info helps to automate the production machinery of the company. Let’s now check out why 3D modeling is imperative to construction industry? Wide Sharing Capability - 3d models can be easily uploaded on a website and thus can be shared widely with people through internet, overcoming geograp

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

Fire Safety BIM – Unique, Simple, and Accurate

Image
Building information modeling (BIM) has taken the fire protection (FP) industry to a newer level of accuracy and efficiency. Historically, fire safety measures have always played important roles in the development of civilizations. By examining the designs of ancient buildings, one can realize the amount of scientific thought that had been spared for making them safe and secure. These measures were deemed necessary not only to protect the inhabitants from accidental fires but also any sabotage or conspiracies by enemy agents. With the passage of time, FP measures ceased to be an exclusive issue with the rich and powerful because governments across the world began to take active interest in ensuring them on a large scale for the general public. Such a conscious decision was taken with the aim of ensuring minimal loss of life and property. Consequently, a great deal of investment was made in researching fire safety measures. BIM has taken all these measures to a higher level of tec

The successful completion of more than 4000 BIM projects in 30 countries is proof of our strong presence in the global playing fields and enriched us with a deep sense of understanding of the international building codes and pro

The Old Order Changeth Yielding Place to the New: Think Big; Think BIM!

Since time immemorial, civilization has progressed steadily by following a single principle—the principle of change. This change has, at times been rather sudden, forceful, and violent and at other times, it has worked slowly and steadily so that in the end, the tentacles of the change proved to be too strong to be ignored and avoided. Thus, while the extinction of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric life forms came as a sudden jolt that paved the way for humans to rule the roost on earth, the slow and steady change brought about by the spirit of science helped us to shed the ignorance of a life that was clouded by religious indoctrination. Although religion has not deserted us completely nor have we been rid of myth and superstition, yet it has ceased to exert the same asphyxiating influence on human beings as it did centuries ago. Building Information Modeling , or BIM in short, has had a similar impact in the world of architecture and construction. Slowly and steadily it h
