List of Software that simplified execution of pre-construction engineering services

Autodesk which is an American multinational firm has designed maximum numbers of software that are used in construction today. There is no doubt that execution of pre-construction engineering services have greatly reduced on-site burden of architects and engineers. All of this became possible only after Autodesk came up with crucial software that helped technicians and modelers to generate drawings and develop models of buildings that are supposed to be constructed in future.
Description of vital software is given below.

AutoCAD: AutoCAD helps CAD technicians or CAD drafters to create stunning designs in a very short period of time. AutoCAD’s ribbon galleries assist technicians with an intuitive, visual and fast workflow. For example, if in case a user wants to add a block while developing designs they can make use of ribbon gallery and successfully insert a block. It has all the significant tools that are needed by designers to improve design process.

Revit: Revit is Building Information Modeling software and is tremendously significant for architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers. With its assistance designers can design a building along with its components in 3D. Revit is available for different domains such as architecture, structure and MEP, that means it can be optimized by architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers to improve the design or model developed by them. It allows its users to manipulate and modify assemblies’ as well entire buildings.  Models developed by using Revit are considered highly accurate by engineers and they extract crucial documents such as construction drawings from these models.

Navisworks:  Navisworks is 3D model review software that is utilized by architects and engineers. When model are fully developed for individual trades they are then coordinated together in Navisworks, during which potential clashes are detected between model elements. Engineers are then asked to modify their designs so that the differences can be sorted out. Clash detection services are executed by using it.

Sketch up: Sketch up is rendering software that is extensively used by designers and renderers. They create stunning images by fully utilizing its tools and features. 3dx Max is also used in rendering.

Above description makes it clear that without high tech software productivity is difficult to achieve in construction industry.

A brief account on BIM’s expansion over the years

Building Information Modeling has a dramatic history when it comes to its expansion in the landscapes of AEC industry over the years. BIM which is also known as Virtual Design and Construction has a dominant presence in AEC industry because of the fact that is has the potential to realize project outcomes and can control them significantly as per requirement. In short design and construction professionals can attain superior control over project outcomes by analyzing multidiscipline models. Well, Building Information Modeling evolved as a concept some four decades ago but it was not practiced by AEC professionals in the industry at that time. For approximately ten years since it first appeared in the journal, the term ‘BIM’ used to be seen only in research papers. BIM as a technology and a process started to be implemented in construction projects some thirty years ago. So once AEC professionals started using BIM in construction they never looked back to their sluggish performanc...

Tackle positioning issues favorably by sharing coordinates!

Tackling file positioning issues rationally and conveniently remains major problem for Revit users when they link additional file in their model or project. Multiple discrepancies are confronted by Revit users in terms of geometrical positioning of linked files comparative to host model. For example if an MEP engineer working on his model in Revit MEP wants to acquire a thorough understanding of  structural model developed in Revit structure by structural engineer he has to link the model. So when MEP engineer links a structural model in his MEP model, Revit spontaneously displays and alert informing users that linked model does not acquire the same coordinate system as host model. And since they do not share the same coordinate systems, Revit will automatically return back to center-to-center positioning. The alert confronted by users must be cancelled by them at this point of time because positioning associated issues can only be tackled once the file is imported in the mod...

MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as in...
