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.

BIM must be credited for the metamorphosis of AEC industry!

The metamorphosis of conventional construction methods into innovative methods must be largely credited to BIM technology. Building Information Modeling is a highly productive technology for AEC professionals since it has huge magnitude and potential to handle all types of complications associated to construction projects.  Initially when BIM technology was not prevalent in the landscapes of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, accomplishment of construction projects was challenging or demanding task for AEC professionals.  During that time architects and engineers used to perform most the construction related activities directly at the proposed location and hence they used to meet a lot of design problems at the time of final construction. And because of this AEC professionals used to face a large amount of rework situations which largely used to increase the project cost.   Rework is not only accountable for increasing project cost but it also resul...

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 o...

List of Software that simplified execution of pre-construction engineering services

Autodesk which is an American multinational firm has designed maximum numbers of software that are used in construction today. There is no doubt that execution of pre-construction engineering services  have greatly reduced on-site burden of architects and engineers. All of this became possible only after Autodesk came up with crucial software that helped technicians and modelers to generate drawings and develop models of buildings that are supposed to be constructed in future. Description of vital software is given below. AutoCAD: AutoCAD helps CAD technicians or CAD drafters to create stunning designs in a very short period of time. AutoCAD’s ribbon galleries assist technicians with an intuitive, visual and fast workflow. For example, if in case a user wants to add a block while developing designs they can make use of ribbon gallery and successfully insert a block. It has all the significant tools that are needed by designers to improve design process. Revit: Revit is ...
