An inclusive account of conventional design development process!

In the conventional building process various effective and potential techniques and technologies have been adopted by design and construction professionals for developing appropriate building design. Design development phase remains one of the most instrumental parts of preconstruction process wherein an idea is developed from its conceptual phase to a full-fledged building design.

Two very crucial technologies are implemented by AEC professionals in design development process which include CAD and BIM. CAD is used during drafting process wherein drafters develop CAD drawings for showing the design of multidiscipline building trades such as architecture, structure and MEP. All kinds of technical drawings such as architectural, structural or MEP are now generated in digital forms that means CAD technology is absolutely responsible for digitalizing drafting process.

Detailed plans, drawings and layouts etc are created by competent drafters with the support of AutoCAD for different building disciplines. AutoCAD helps drafters in maintaining high accuracy in shop drawing and other kinds of technical drawings that are generated by drafters during drafting process. Be it architectural drawings, structural drawings or MEP drawings all of them are equally important for accomplishing modeling   process that is carried out with the assistance of BIM technology. This means that another important technology that is used in design development process is Building Information Modeling.

BIM software is used for the first time in modeling process. Modeling process is nothing but the process of developing 3D models which helps design and construction professionals in representing physical as well as functional attributes of the yet to be constructed building. The name of BIM software which is used worldwide for executing modeling services is Revit. Revit is crafted by a highly prominent American software manufacturing company Autodesk which as developed multiple building design software such as AutoCAD, Navisworks and 3ds Max etc. All of which are used by design and construction professionals in preconstruction phase for diverse reasons.

High end building design is created in Revit which allow all its design members to collaborate with each other for acquiring and distributing construction related information. Effective distribution of information helps in effective development of 3D models as information stands at the heart of design development process in Revit. When models are constructed in Revit every member of design team remains aware of progress made in the model as they keep monitoring the process through a central model which can be accessed by anyone with the help of Revit server. The individual models on which design members work are the copy of a central model which can be accessed by them anytime. This transparent design development process helps in developing effective BIM models which represent the design of different building disciplines.

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...
