A brief account on the development of 3D models

The trend of developing 3D models is not that old in the landscapes of AEC industry when it comes to optimizing them for building construction. Much before BIM came into picture, 3D CAD models were used by AEC professionals to represent the design of distinguished building systems such as architecture, structure and MEP. But limited information is derived by construction professionals from 3D CAD models which kind of restricted them from effective utilizations of these models for constructing the building. But once Building Information Modeling made its appearance in the landscapes of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, construction industry professionals managed to get all kinds of necessary information.

BIM models gave new dimension to architects, engineers, contractors and building owners to extract information such as time and cost involved for accomplishing the building. Exact calculation of time and money needed for the project, helped owners in enhancing the productivity of the project. In other words 4D and 5D BIM models proved to be extremely helpful for owners since they enabled them to estimate exact time and cost of the project. This eventually helped them in optimizing that information for increasing project productivity.

For the development of BIM models it is important for any service providing company to have multitalented staff. That highly skilled BIM modelers are required who are highly proficient in handling high tech modeling software. In short their knowledge regarding software applications is very crucial when it comes to accurately using its distinctive tools and features.

Another most significant thing for developing 3D models is the use of right software by the service providing company. Choosing the best modeling software is highly crucial and mostly Revit is used for this purpose by AEC professionals.

While developing 3D models an entire team of BIM modelers is required and what remains important is their collaboration with each other for generating effective model. Accurate models can only be developed when the information required for generating them is successfully shared between the entire team. Accessibility of information helps in clearing the doubts of design development team and finally in developing productive and effective models.

BIM must be credited for the metamorphosis of AEC industry!

The metamorphosis of conventional construction methods into innovative methods must be largely credited to BIM technology. Building Information Modeling is a highly productive technology for AEC professionals since it has huge magnitude and potential to handle all types of complications associated to construction projects.  Initially when BIM technology was not prevalent in the landscapes of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, accomplishment of construction projects was challenging or demanding task for AEC professionals.  During that time architects and engineers used to perform most the construction related activities directly at the proposed location and hence they used to meet a lot of design problems at the time of final construction. And because of this AEC professionals used to face a large amount of rework situations which largely used to increase the project cost.   Rework is not only accountable for increasing project cost but it also resul...

BIM: A game changing invention for AEC industry

It’s been centuries since construction work has begun commercially. Every passing decade added some innovation and left with a limitation to deal with. Of course it is undisputed that the industry was getting better and better yet the pace of this advancement wasn’t really remarkable. The issues like degradation in productivity, rising cost, delay in completion of the project were still to solve. Well, these are the issues which have hindered the growth of the construction industry. Each stakeholder belonging to this field was seeking salvation, until Building Information Modeling was invented and reached out to the public. The age brought by high tech tools including BIM is defined in golden letters in the book of Architectural and Engineering industry. Initially Architectural drawings used to be developed manually. Though, AutoCAD 2D architectural software was launched afterwards which has made this task a bit easier, but highly advanced and organized software was y...
