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...

Tackle positioning issues favorably by sharing coordinates!

Tackling file positioning issues rationally and conveniently remains major problem for Revit users when they link additional file in their model or project. Multiple discrepancies are confronted by Revit users in terms of geometrical positioning of linked files comparative to host model. For example if an MEP engineer working on his model in Revit MEP wants to acquire a thorough understanding of  structural model developed in Revit structure by structural engineer he has to link the model. So when MEP engineer links a structural model in his MEP model, Revit spontaneously displays and alert informing users that linked model does not acquire the same coordinate system as host model. And since they do not share the same coordinate systems, Revit will automatically return back to center-to-center positioning. The alert confronted by users must be cancelled by them at this point of time because positioning associated issues can only be tackled once the file is imported in the mod...

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...
