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...

Determine the size of your family according to your project requirement in Revit!

Revit is considered the best choice by architects, engineers, BIM modelers and technicians working in AEC industry for creating families. Families are basically used by BIM modelers while executing Revit modeling services. That makes Revit and Revit modeling services an integral part of construction project execution. Family size matters a lot when it comes to designing a building. In Revit technicians have the luxury to control family size as per the requirement of their project. If in case a smaller size door is required for one of the rooms in the building it can be easily created by using the Family Editor tool of Revit. Revit Family Editor has vital features for developing custom families. The Family size can be controlled by BIM modelers by assigning required dimensions for the family.   In other words the geometry of the family can be easily controlled by assigning parameters in Revit. Take an example of door family; it’s up to Revit modelers what dimensions they want ...

Structural drawings: What is the role of Revit structure and Tekla Structure in their development?

Among all kinds of construction drawings it is really difficult to develop structural drawings as they are of highly complex nature. For developing strong and durable structural framework, the first step is to develop high quality structural drawings which can effectively describe structural design.  For the comprehensive understanding of structural design numerous kinds of technical drawings which may include detailed sketches, plans and working drawings etc have to be developed by drafters and detailers on the instructions of structural engineers.   In this blog I would like to focus on the development of Steel fabrication drawings and erection drawings which are created by steel detailers when they execute Structural Steel Detailing Services with the support of Revit structure or Tekla Structure.    Both Revit structure and Tekla structure are most widely used software packages which are utilized by steel detailers for the development of d...
