Advantages offered by architectural BIM during design development phase

Architectural BIM Modeling provides enormous advantages to design and construction professionals during the design development phase as it reinforces high-end 3D visualization during it, which is not at all practical with when it comes to two-dimensional drawings. A perfect or error-free design leads to the reduction of design error, change orders, wastage of materials and budget overrun etc, and developing architectural design becomes really simple with the assistance of Revit Architecture.



That means architectural BIM results into the creation of error-free architectural design in 3D form which include high level of details about architectural elements. In Revit Architecture, architectural elements can be modeled with high Level of Detail which can allow architects to see concrete details about them such as their dimensions, size, quantity, location and orientation etc. The best part is that design and construction professionals can also add additional data which is not related to geometry in architectural models and which helps them in analyzing other crucial details about the project.

For example, with the addition of non-geometrical data such as 4D, 5D and 6D in architectural model design and construction professionals can effectively calculate the time and cost of the project which help them to a great extent when it comes to streamlining project activities. When the project is reviewed by building stakeholders they can effectively analyze the effectiveness of the design in terms of it being financially feasible for construction.

When it comes to obtaining clarity on the design, 3D visualization reinforced by Revit tremendously help design and construction professionals. When it comes to identifying the constructability of the design in actual location 3D models are again very helpful for architects and engineers. For improving design quality of architectural model clash detection services can be performed.


Since high quality architectural design is developed by BIM modelers, it is quite feasible for design and construction professionals to extract high-end architectural drawings from it.  Generally when it comes to performing actual construction, architects and engineers use those drawings which are extracted from Building Information Models as they are immensely accurate.

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 resul...

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...

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...
