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 yet to launch.

Building Information Modeling is executed in Revit, which is software that launched in 1997 with feature of 3D modeling and converting 2D into 3D by applying required information. Eventually, Revit launched its individual versions for facilitating the requirements of each discipline such as Architecture, Structure and MEP. Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP brought a drastic improvement in the AEC industry.


 BIM added the vital celerity to the Architectural and Engineering design process. The process which used to consume many enormous time can now be completed within few hours with more efficiency. Earlier the rate of errors was so high that it used to cause a lot of rework. This limitation has eliminated by BIM which reinforced flawless construction.

Photo-realistic floor plans crucial for clients understand of the building

Well, here comes a suggestion for all those people who are willing to buy or purchase their own house, ‘don’t buy it without checking the rendered floor plans’ since they are going to assist you in getting a far better understanding of the house. I would not mind saying fool to those people who go ahead with the buying plans without properly visualizing the property. Guys don’t fall victims of such instances, it is difficult to pay the price later on because once you have already bought the house there is hardly anything you can do about it.

One can be considered an intelligent buyer only when he or she makes the best use of all the possible services available to him or her. When it comes to investing your money on property, please assure yourself that all the important measures have been taken by you. 3D Floor Plan Avail yourself with a photo-realistic floor plan: N...

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...
