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.

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...

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...
