3D and 4D BIM models are very crucial for curtailing design and time based clashes

For high productivity during project lifecycle it is crucial that design and construction professionals try to sort out all the clashes which are either based on design or on time. All kinds of clashes are very harmful for the productivity of Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals who hold the responsibility of constructing a building on time. Design and time based clashes can be considered as the main obstacles for architects and engineers when it comes to the late accomplishment of the building project.

Architectural, structural and MEP design is represented by design and construction professionals through digital parametric models which are extensively produced with the support of 3D modeling software Revit. The parametric models created through Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP services, are highly indispensable for architects and engineers for curtailing design based clashes. If design and construction professionals want to compare multidiscipline elements in context of determining design based clashes between them, it can be accomplished in Navisworks Manage which are is also designed by the same manufacturer which has developed Revit. That means Autodesk product Navisworks is also very important for those professionals which are associated with AEC industry as it helps in determining clashes between the elements of 3D Revit models which are developed for different building disciplines.

That means only 3D BIM remains relevant for AEC professionals when they have to identify design based clashes. On the other hand for finding out time based clashes design and construction professionals will have to execute 4D BIM modeling, wherein one more dimension is included in 3D BIM. Time remains the new dimension of 3D BIM and hence all the information associated to time requirements of the building project can be obtained from 4D BIM. So as design based clashes or collisions are identified by AEC professionals through 3D BIM, similarly time-based collisions can only be pointed out and rectified through 4D models.


The very phrase ‘flawless construction’ becomes an actual practice if both design and time based clashes are effectively sorted out in preconstruction.

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...

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...
