BIM coordination is consequential for developing accurate buildings

What is BIM coordination? Well, BIM coordination is nothing but the clubbing of architecture, structure and MEP models into one single model.  This model is known as BIM coordination model. Building construction is one of the most complicated tasks as the development of different building disciplines remains the responsibility of diverse engineers.  Architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers are jointly accountable for developing building design.  A building’s architecture is totally designed by an architect whereas its structural framework is outlined by structural engineers. And when it comes to the designing of MEP systems they are designed by mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers.

Since the design of multiple building disciplines is created by various different kinds of engineers there always remains a question mark in terms of their harmonious coexistence. And to get clarity about design inconsistencies between multidiscipline models in terms of their coexistence, BIM coordination services are executed.

Clash detection process can be understood or considered as the primary step of BIM coordination process. That means architectural, structural and MEP models are examined for clashes between them. Navisworks remains one of the most instrumental tools in the hands of modelers and technicians for carrying out clash detection process. So the first step that is taken by the modelers while conducting clash tests is to import all the vital Revit files belonging to architectural, structural and MEP models in Navisworks. Now the next step is to convert these files into Navisworks file formats which can be effectively read by the model review software. Navisworks has a unique mechanism when it comes to detecting clashes that means when the clash tests are conducted on different model elements and when the software finds any clashes between them it quickly highlights them. Clashes detected between different model elements are highlighted with the use of colors. For viewing identified clashes modelers are required to access Results tab. So once the clashes become familiar to modelers they begin to provide solutions for them.

In short when clashes identified between multidiscipline models are provided with suitable solutions, different models are quickly clubbed together.  Coordination of different BIM models results into a single BIM coordination model. This BIM coordination model is highly immaculate when it comes to design inconsistencies.

How to Implement BIM in Medium-Sized Companies Effectively?

BIM has emerged as a remarkable new technology for structural and architectural building designs for its implementation in medium-sized companies. Before application of Building Information Modeling for medium size companies several queries and challenges occurs regarding the technical expertise of the employees, delay in projects as a consequence of introduction of newer technology and rising costs. These kinds of query and troubles pertaining to BIM implementation may be simply fixed by carrying out basic training and efficient planning of application of BIM Services. Hence with the aid of appropriate planning and minimal preparation BIM can be effortlessly and successfully implemented into medium-sized companies without significant intervention and disturbance. • Commencing with BIM: Application of BIM Services in medium size company can be referred as Process modification phenomenon. The employees of company ought to be equally associated with the decision making process o...

Photo-realistic floor plans crucial for clients understand of the building

Well, here comes a suggestion for all those people who are willing to buy or purchase their own house, ‘don’t buy it without checking the rendered floor plans’ since they are going to assist you in getting a far better understanding of the house. I would not mind saying fool to those people who go ahead with the buying plans without properly visualizing the property. Guys don’t fall victims of such instances, it is difficult to pay the price later on because once you have already bought the house there is hardly anything you can do about it. That means you have to stick to the house until and unless you again become capable of purchasing a new one. One can be considered an intelligent buyer only when he or she makes the best use of all the possible services available to him or her. When it comes to investing your money on property, please assure yourself that all the important measures have been taken by you. 3D Floor Plan Avail yourself with a photo-realistic floor plan: N...

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...
