BIM’s ascendancy over AEC industry is expanding fast

Building Information Modeling is also referred or addressed as Virtual Design and Construction by Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry professionals. This is such as amazing and constructive technology which helps AEC professionals in defining the physical and functional characteristics of a building. It can never be disowned and renounced that BIM is subjugating and dominating the industry when it comes to producing desired or intended outcomes in context of project execution.

A highly collaborative and integrated design approach is facilitated by BIM which includes all the paramount building stakeholders during the design development. These crucial building stakeholders include architects, engineers, contractors and other design professionals. This integrated and non-segregated approach proves totally cardinal and paramount for design development team because exceptional results are obtained after that in terms of design explorations and observations.

In other words collaboration, amalgamation and unification of design development team along with the remaining project stakeholders helps in confronting and approaching new design ideas or making powerful and effective design decisions. Hence there is no denying the fact that highly cheaper preconstruction engineering solutions are delivered to the potential clients with the assistance of BIM technology.

Since architects and engineers along with other design technicians or designers can easily adopt distinctive design options BIM eventually helps them in developing cost-effective design. Since BIM facilitates virtual construction it helps the project execution team as well as owners by clearly stating design related complications at a very early stage. The really helps them in sorting out the design related complications and issues in minimal cost which again helps in saving potential expenditures.

Precise and accurate material takeoffs that are obtained and acquired by construction industry professionals with the assistance of Building Information Models, successfully assists them in ordering the materials as per project requirement. When materials are ordered as per construction requirements the question of wastage doesn’t even arise.

This ultimately means that BIM helps in saving project cost by providing precise preconstruction engineering solutions and by reducing the misuse of materials at the time of actual construction.

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...

Determine the size of your family according to your project requirement in Revit!

Revit is considered the best choice by architects, engineers, BIM modelers and technicians working in AEC industry for creating families. Families are basically used by BIM modelers while executing Revit modeling services. That makes Revit and Revit modeling services an integral part of construction project execution. Family size matters a lot when it comes to designing a building. In Revit technicians have the luxury to control family size as per the requirement of their project. If in case a smaller size door is required for one of the rooms in the building it can be easily created by using the Family Editor tool of Revit. Revit Family Editor has vital features for developing custom families. The Family size can be controlled by BIM modelers by assigning required dimensions for the family.   In other words the geometry of the family can be easily controlled by assigning parameters in Revit. Take an example of door family; it’s up to Revit modelers what dimensions they want ...

Structural drawings: What is the role of Revit structure and Tekla Structure in their development?

Among all kinds of construction drawings it is really difficult to develop structural drawings as they are of highly complex nature. For developing strong and durable structural framework, the first step is to develop high quality structural drawings which can effectively describe structural design.  For the comprehensive understanding of structural design numerous kinds of technical drawings which may include detailed sketches, plans and working drawings etc have to be developed by drafters and detailers on the instructions of structural engineers.   In this blog I would like to focus on the development of Steel fabrication drawings and erection drawings which are created by steel detailers when they execute Structural Steel Detailing Services with the support of Revit structure or Tekla Structure.    Both Revit structure and Tekla structure are most widely used software packages which are utilized by steel detailers for the development of d...
