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 of transformation to BIM and need to get ready for transformations in technology. Implementation of BIM in Large scale companies is carried out individually form one individual to other and exercises conveniently without significant interference. However in medium-sized companies all the teams are equal participants in making decisions along with the various actions carried out throughout the procedure of implementation of BIM Services.  Best choice to begin with BIM services would be to outsource the BIM training for employees. Installation of new software’s and upgrading the server accordingly happens to be major aspect of concern to get start with BIM. For instance, you require high configuration PC’s for optimum quality 3D Rendering and animation for BIM.


• Becoming accustomed to BIM application:
It is challenging to relocate entire team to a newer technology. As a result the team members of medium sized companies need to undergo struggling period through the course of BIM transformation. Becoming acquainted with newer BIM environment turns out to be quite challenging for medium sized companies because of short deadlines.
It is essential to regard the training period of BIM as an investment and also everyone needs to indulge equally in the various activities to ensure that performance does not get influenced. The most excellent concept of Building Information Modeling execution is to impart training on existing functional projects. This contributes to two way advantages of advanced training exercises without impacting on the efficiency by time-bound completion of the project.

• Planning after BIM Application and Training:
After accomplishment of appropriately structured training session on preliminary projects, it’s time for analysis or evaluation. For carrying out evaluation of the training, employees should begin with any dummy project in case time endures otherwise begin with upcoming project. It turns out to be convenient for employees to get familiar with Building Information Modeling as a result of structured training program on existing projects. In addition to beginning new project a comprehensive time evaluation needs to be carried out to assess benefits and efficiency of BIM implementation.

By implementing above stated strategies, BIM transition can be conveniently executed in Medium-sized companies with the help of well structured training and mutual co-ordination and assistance of employees of the company.

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...
