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...

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...
