Some of the common benefits of BIM which encourages productivity

Before I go ahead with counting the benefits of Building Information Modeling, let me make it clear that BIM is all about enhancing productivity and nothing else. Be it AEC professionals or clients they are all benefited with the implementation of MEP BIM Services that helps in developing digital models for architecture, structure and MEP. BIM models delivered to clients during early design phase help in providing detailed information about design, construction, sustainability, operations and maintenance etc. Information concerning different phases of construction can be optimized by design and construction professionals for obtaining effective solutions during final construction.




During the design phase BIM Modeling services can help in developing effective design as it facilitates coordination and collaboration. All design members can share a same model and can improve its quality by working collaboratively towards its development. Collaborative work culture ensures that all the building stakeholders work effectively towards achieving greater productivity.

As Revit users can make use of different design alternatives it helps them in developing high performing, cost effective and sustainable building design. By using cutting edge technology, BIM users can even reduce the expected project cost as modeling tools optimized during preconstruction can provide cost effective solutions. Building stakeholders (architects, engineers, owners and contractors) can definitely obtain the outcome according to their choice as they can make a thorough analysis of the design for speculating outcomes. If in case by making modifications in the design project outcomes can be controlled, then AEC professionals go ahead with that. In other words by making modifications in the design AEC professionals try to improve project productivity. By developing 3D models in virtual environment, they can successfully analyze the results of utilizing complex tools, techniques and procedures during actual construction. That means all kinds of project complications that can be faced during actual construction are identified by utilizing Virtual Design and Construction. 


A significant amount of reduction can be done in the wastage of materials, resources and money by visualizing project outcomes much ahead.  By making best use of quantity takeoffs, material wastage can be controlled by AEC professionals.  Limited amount of materials can be ordered for controlling wastage.

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...
