Scan to BIM technology is indispensable for saving time and money of renovation projects!

Before going any further into the topic, I have a question for my readers and that is how valuable is time and money for all of you? Well, when it comes to me I would say time is priceless for me and it is sort of a bit important than money as money can be earned but not the time. You can always hope of earning money but you can’t even imagine getting back the time that is gone, it never comes back no matter what you do.
People associated with Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry are well aware of the complications that are faced by design and construction professionals while dealing with a renovation and retrofit projects. The complications involved in the process kills the time and efforts of architects and engineers to a great extent so to eliminate such difficulties and problems application or implementation of right technology is quite essential. And that is where scan to BIM technology comes into picture. This is the most suitable technology that deals with the countless technicalities that are associated with the measurement of dimensions of the as-built structure. When it comes to the renovation of heavy structures such as bridges, flyovers, or religious monuments etc, their thought is enough to provide significant amount of stress to AEC professionals considering the fact that too many complications are inevitable in the process. And this is where scan to BIM process becomes a leader in sorting out the complications of the entire process.
Today laser scanning technology is used for surveying heavy structures, whose manual surveying along with development of drawings otherwise could take many weeks. But laser scanning technology accomplishes the task of surveying the structure really fast without demanding much effort and time from AEC professionals. Huge structures can be scanned in substantially short time. The scanned data which is redeemed with the support of laser beams that are directed to the as-built structure from highly potential laser scanners is used for developing 3D models for the building meant to be renovated.
Accurate BIM models are developed very quickly by the proficient modelers of service providing company, which provide clarity regarding the geometry of the as-built to construction professionals. Since all the doubts regarding the existing conditions of the building are clarified to AEC professionals with the assistance of point cloud data, execution of renovation process becomes really painless. It saves time as scanning of the building can be done quickly through laser scanners and it also saves money as cost effective scan to BIM services can be hired easily by the contractors.

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

Tackle positioning issues favorably by sharing coordinates!

Tackling file positioning issues rationally and conveniently remains major problem for Revit users when they link additional file in their model or project. Multiple discrepancies are confronted by Revit users in terms of geometrical positioning of linked files comparative to host model. For example if an MEP engineer working on his model in Revit MEP wants to acquire a thorough understanding of  structural model developed in Revit structure by structural engineer he has to link the model. So when MEP engineer links a structural model in his MEP model, Revit spontaneously displays and alert informing users that linked model does not acquire the same coordinate system as host model. And since they do not share the same coordinate systems, Revit will automatically return back to center-to-center positioning. The alert confronted by users must be cancelled by them at this point of time because positioning associated issues can only be tackled once the file is imported in the model.

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 industrial and c
