BIM has been present in the construction industry
for the last 30 years and in between these decades many revolutionary changes
have been brought by this technology. It is optimized by architects and
engineers to represent the physical and functional characteristics of the
building in a digital form. When a construction project is executed with the
assistance of BIM, the first and most important step is to create intelligent
3D models for the representation of different building systems such as
architecture, structure and MEP.
First of all an architectural framework is designed
by an architect for the building in question and later on other systems such as
structural framework and MEP systems are designed by Structural Engineers and MEP engineers respectively. Structural framework and
MEP systems are designed to support the architectural design of the building
and hence architect’s specifications are taken seriously by both structural and
MEP engineers for designing their models.
So 3D models, which are developed by utilizing Revit
software represent the final design of the building systems. Hence it is
important that multidiscipline models are developed accurately as per architect’s
specifications.
The good thing is that, Revit has unique features
and tools which help the design development teams to integrate and collaborate
with each other when design of building
systems are developed.
By collaborating with each other, design team, which
include design coordinators, BIM modelers and sometimes architects and
engineers high quality building design is created or developed. Design details
are shared between the team members and that helps them in improving the
design.
With the
assistance of Revit the whole design team can collaborate on the same model and
hence modifications can also be made on that model by individuals. But it all
depends upon the design requirement. If in case one of the design members feels
that certain alterations can help in buildings performance it is applied in the
model.
In this way various, new design ideas are discovered
by the design team which are successfully implemented in the design.
