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.

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

Structural Design Procedure: Step Wise Description

Construction of the building requires humongous time as it includes development of multiple disciplines like architecture, structure, MEP and ultimately bringing them all together. Amid all these discipline structural design is one of the most subtle disciplines as it strengthens the building and makes it stand still. It doesn’t mean that other disciplines are not important; however structural design is more convoluted. Before structure gets developed, initially lots of analyses are conducted in order to ensure sustenance of the building. The procedure starts with several analyses like site analysis, soil analysis load calculation etc. Site analysis is conducted to have an idea about feasibility of construction while soil analysis is done to identify the quality of soil and whether it is able to endure the load of the building. In load calculation it is being calculated that how much load a structure can bear. Having received green signal from all those analyses design

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
