Popular Myths Surrounding BIM

Image
In recent years, the effectiveness of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has grown popularity. It is especially noticeable in the architecture and construction industries. Builders and architectures are using BIM to design projects, share work, and create sustainable buildings. With so much of demand, lots of misconceptions have been spread about building information modelling (BIM). Some of these misconceptions and myths have been keeping people hesitant in adopting BIM Modeling. In this post, we will discuss some BIM myths and the truth behind them. 1) BIM is like 3D Modeling   BIM Models is more than just 3-dimensional drawings. Actually, 3D is just a small part of a complicated BIM process. The 'Modelling' in BIM is not limited to just a visual representation of a building. It also includes digital dataset and database that is centred on collaborative work. Both graphical and non-graphical information is used to generate data-rich BIM models. BIM is an important tool...

BIM transformed MEP designs

Image
In the construction industry, "Change is always good". The various benefits of technology have strengthened this idea. The latest technological breakthroughs in the AEC industry is the development of Building Information Modeling. Sooner, the BIM modeling became the game changer in the delivery of MEP drawings, 3D Revit BIM Modeling and BIM Coordination Modeling . In the construction, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) plays a vital role in the efficient functioning of the building. Revit MEP BIM Services also include fire protection, gas piping, pneumatic tubing, data systems, etc. Revit MEP BIM services ensure that layouts do not clash with each other nor with architectural and structural disciplines. So, clashes must be avoided in the layout of equipment. Actual construction begins only once conflicts challenges have been eliminated. Coordination process takes time, especially when large projects with intense MEP equipment are needed. The exact location...

Latest trends in architectural rendering software

Image
Architects and engineers are the builders of the future. On the basis of their knowledge and creative design, they build the structures. They need the latest software and tools, which help them to achieve the level of perfection. Their main focus remains to meet the expectations of the clients and to express their ideas in the best way. Having architectural 3D rendering, of the structures helps them to realise the same. Architectural engineering services integrated with technology can express design ideas in a detailed and advanced manner. With the progress in technology, many new and interesting things have been possible in the architectural field. Now, the creative ways have been discovered to show the scientific complexities of the project. Several new options have been added to the architecture 3D rendering and Architecture BIM Services to help the designer. There is various software for architectural engineering in the civil industry. Some are listed below. 1) Autodesk REV...

Qualities of good rebar detailer

Image
It is clear that the rebar structural steel detailing business is experiencing a global revolution. The emergence of IT enabling technologies, 3D model-centric communication, collaboration and data management system have all created opportunities for cost-efficient Rebar Detailing Services .   Rebar Detailing Services Let us see objectives of Rebar Detailing Services? 1) To create a flawless Rebar Shop Drawings. These Rebar placing drawing should give the proper guidance the ironworker so that they can set the rebars correctly in the site without any problem. 2) To create detailed shop drawings and rebar detailing designs that can assist fabricators to build and fit the concrete framework. 3) To let the structural engineer, check and approve if the structural design is properly converted into the rebar structure steel detailing drawings. 4) To do a rebar wastage analytics and reduce potential scrap existing in the drawing level. A good ...

Precast Detailing and Designing Checklist

Image
Precast Detailing technology is extensively used across the world for various purpose such as commercial buildings, stadiums, hospital infrastructure projects like bridges, airports etc. Understanding this technology requirement is very important aspect. This blog explains several important features required in designing and detailing of building projects using precast detailing technology. Precast Engineering Services have a responsibility of analysing and calculating the load on precast elements. They determine the load criteria for the design of the entire structure and the impact of the precast erection sequences on individual structural members. Based on these data, the basic structural system is planned. Once, the Precast panel detailing and Tekla precast concrete detailing are created, precaster is contacted to achieve practical and economical construction methods. The given below is a checklist of items the design team should consider in the designing an...

Aspects of Architectural BIM

Image
By implementing Architectural BIM as a work process, we all make sure we have a Project Manager in all the projects that come to our companies, but who is managing the Architectural 3D Model? Has planning time been considered for the management of the Architectural 3D Model? Each project will require a different level of BIM management depending on its size, complexity, discipline and type of project. A large complex project may require an Architectural BIM Services provider to specifically exercise the role of Project BIM Manager. The "I" of BIM The "I" (of information), is the great differentiator between Architectural 3D Modeling and a simple 2D drawing. The information that defines and enriches the geometry is what is changing the whole AEC industry. It is essential to make sure that the model contains all the necessary information. Some of the information that must be included -and must be verified in the Architectural 3D Modeling - is the informati...
