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...

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...
