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.

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...
