Concrete Trade Empowered by BIM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) services are constantly empowering construction professionals across the globe. Concrete trade is not an exception in this regard. Wide arrays of BIM services for concrete contractors are boosting productivity in concrete sector including: 1.       Concrete 3D BIM Modeling 2.       BIM Constructability Analysis 3.       Concrete Lift-Drawings 4.       4D Construction Phasing 5.       Concrete Quantity Take-off 6.       Bar Bending Schedule Now, how 3D BIM Quantity Take-off is managing material procurement for concrete contractors ? Quantity take-off and estimate can be obtained from 3D BIM models with accurate concrete elements such as: 1.       Steel Reinforcement 2.       Surface Area 3.    ...

Pinnacle Streamlining Construction Projects in Qatar

Image
Qatar’s construction industry is going through a boom due to large-scale modernization. As a result, cities and urban areas are coming up to provide all amenities like residential complexes, offices, commercial space, malls, airports, hospitals, retail stores, schools, universities, convention centers and high-rise towers. Pinnacle – the global leader in BIM services is facilitating the AEC industry in Qatar with 3D Modeling, Constructability Review, Clash Coordination, Value Engineering, Visual Collaboration, Construction Sequencing and various other BIM services. Some of the major landmark BIM projects handled by Pinnacle in Qatar include Msheireb Downtown Construction in Doha,  College of Media & Communication in Education City, Doha,  Sidra Village Staff Housing Complex, Doha , Northgate Mall Infrastructure, Doha and Al Bayt Stadium Infrastructure. Now let’s check out how Pinnacle is exploring ideas in 3D models and using the power of visualization to bridg...

Benefits of Building Information Modeling Services

Image
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 w...

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 shar...
