BIM Services – Expanding Dimensions

Evolution is the law! The AEC (Architectural, Engineering and Construction) sector has evolved drastically over the past few years. The journey from drawing to modelling to BIM (Building Information Modelling) has been wondrous. Having been in the AEC business for a long time, we have witnessed each of these transitions closely. Technology has been an amazing boon. The flexibility in creation and precision in execution that it imparts is fascinating.

The advancement doesn’t cease and we need to upgrade constantly to be at par. To learn, and apply these upgrades is one of the aspects of the job that our teams keenly look forward to. Within BIM Services itself, the expanding dimensions have been fascinating. The intelligent 3D modelling from the design drawings to one step further of developing the design too in 3D was one progression. Complete detailing of all domains and their coordination thereafter and clash resolution to acquire the perfect master model and extracting construction drawings, is all so precise and swift. Assessing Bill of Materials, managing materials and schedules has become painless. Establishing the time line of the project was the 4th dimension added. The 5th dimension that appended was the aspect of costing that helps evaluate complete estimate of the project and make necessary modifications to suit the budget. Managing building through its entire life-cycle post construction is the new dimension. All these developments driven by technology have brought ease to the much complex process of building construction. Designing has become a delight with such amazing support of tools. Highly creative and complex designs are being developed and executed successfully. These designs are also made to be environment conducive through effective energy analysis and material selection during design and development stage.


BIM coordination Services continue to grow in its offerings. It is exciting to see what more dimensions it will have to confer in the coming times.

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...
