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 results in late project deliveries and this clearly indicates the poor productivity of AEC  industry as a whole.

On the other hand the adoption and acquisition of BIM Services by design and construction professionals have totally transformed the functionality of AEC industry. BIM provided a new dimension of virtual construction to design and construction professionals. Virtual construction means constructing a building in question in the virtual world before it is actually developed in real life and this gives a huge space for AEC professionals to improve the design.  Virtual construction wherein 3D models are developed for different building disciplines, allows design development team to explore diverse design options.  Digital design can be altered within fraction of seconds by design and construction professionals and hence they can conveniently explore the best design ideas for the building in question. Changes can be made promptly in Revit models and this allows the team to construct effective 3D models.

But BIM cannot be limited simply to design development for the building instead it offers other crucial information to AEC professionals that is highly vital for management of the entire building process. Architectural BIM Services helps construction professionals with exact time and cost requirements of the building project.

Last but not least BIM supports architects and engineers in the development of high performing buildings within tight deadlines. And these aspects of BIM have really transformed the construction industry.

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...
