What has made the execution of construction projects so easy these days?

If we go back in history, execution of construction projects used to be really very difficult for Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry professionals because there were no automated tools available to them which could help them in design documentation. It is hundred percent true that without effective design documentation none of the building projects can be executed flawlessly.  But gone are the days when design and construction professionals used to do everything related to design documentation by themselves or manually. 

Within the last one or two decades a lot of things have changed drastically in Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry because of the arrival or introduction of numerous software solutions which are especially created for helping out architects and engineers in developing high quality building design. 

The arrival of Computer Aided Design technology provided humongous benefits to architects, engineers, drafters and modelers apart from construction managers and building owners. Computer Aided Design technology proved highly efficient for all the building stakeholders as it enhanced every body’s productivity. 

The main thing which happened after CAD’s implementation in construction projects is that design and construction professionals stared to create accurate design for architecture, structure and MEP in very less time. 


Once Computer Aided Design technology became available to building professionals, they started becoming successful reducing filed conflicts to a great extent. But when Building Information Modeling came into the picture, the long awaited desire of architects and engineers which was to execute construction projects flawlessly seriously became possible. 

Design and construction professionals started to use architectural, structural and MEP BIM Services for executing clash detection services which resulted into the production of flawless building design. In this way with the help of unique software solutions execution of building projects started becoming easy.

How to Implement BIM in Medium-Sized Companies Effectively?

BIM has emerged as a remarkable new technology for structural and architectural building designs for its implementation in medium-sized companies. Before application of Building Information Modeling for medium size companies several queries and challenges occurs regarding the technical expertise of the employees, delay in projects as a consequence of introduction of newer technology and rising costs. These kinds of query and troubles pertaining to BIM implementation may be simply fixed by carrying out basic training and efficient planning of application of BIM Services. Hence with the aid of appropriate planning and minimal preparation BIM can be effortlessly and successfully implemented into medium-sized companies without significant intervention and disturbance. • Commencing with BIM: Application of BIM Services in medium size company can be referred as Process modification phenomenon. The employees of company ought to be equally associated with the decision making process o...

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...

Revit component families: ‘Cut with void when loaded’ a crucial parameter!

I am sure you must be thinking, what is this ‘cut with void When Loaded’ parameter? So for your clarification, let me tell you that it is one of the most important parameter that is used by BIM modelers or technicians while they create custom components in Revit. When it comes to creating custom components in Revit they are developed by optimizing Revit’s Family Editor. Family template files which are Model-based have the luxury of containing ‘Cut with Void When Loaded’ parameter. In other words families created with void in the Family Editor of Revit, contain this parameter. ‘Cut with Void When Loaded’ parameter is used by Revit users for cutting solid architectural and structural   elements such as floors, ceilings, roofs, Generic Models and structural columns etc. in the project environment.     Let me just give you an example how this parameter functions in Revit. What actually happens is that, there should be solid architectural or structural elements i...
