Building Information Modeling improves the productivity of all the key building professionals

Building Information Modeling often referred as BIM by AEC professionals is a highly influential technology or process that helps in solving out the complications of key building professionals such as architects, engineers and fabricators. Building construction does not comprise of one single construction activity, instead of that it is a combination of numerous activities which results into the development of a building. Prior to the commencement of actual construction that means in the preconstruction phase solutions are provided for engineering problems with the support of BIM.



By optimizing cutting edge technology, design and construction professionals build the entire project in a virtual environment. For accomplishing this task AEC professionals have to make use of building design software Revit, project review software Navisworks and 3D modeling and rendering software 3ds Max. The entire intent of utilizing Revit in preconstruction is to develop high performing design for architecture, structure and MEP which can eliminate most of the problems that come across during on site construction. Unmatched design is developed by design development team in Revit as it helps in facilitating the distribution of design information among team members. This helps in preventing mistakes in the design which can otherwise take place if information has not been distrusted effectively among BIM modelers working on a project. So, we can say that Revit which is purposely developed for reinforcing Building Information Modeling helps in improving the productivity of modelers as well as the quality of architecture, structure and MEP design.

Now let’s jump to the role of Navisworks in the execution of building project. Navisworks is optimized for reviewing the designs of different building disciplines which are created with the help of Revit Architecture, Revit structure and Revit MEP. Complete multidiscipline models can be reviewed in Navisworks and potential construction problems can be identified by AEC professionals during early design phase. This helps design and construction professionals in foreseeing the actual challenges of final construction and in finding out solutions for them.

So, in this way with the execution of BIM modeling and clash detection services in preconstruction, productivity of all the potential building professionals can be increased as design and construction complications are dealt strictly during this period.

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 mod...

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...
