Everything to Know About Level of Development (LOD) in BIM

Image
              BIM is a highly intelligent 3D model which allows the AEC industry to collaborate on the planning, designing, and construction of projects. When BIM is being used, it represents the exact geometry of the object. The level of development (LOD) has a broad geometric representation of an accurate as-built model of the project. LOD is a state of the project information model at a particular point in its design process.   BIM models should develop designs and shop drawings with precise geometric representations. LOD is an industry-standard that defines various development stages of construction projects in BIM. LOD uses a 3D model to achieve shared understanding among stakeholders for effective and clear communication among disciplines.  What is the level of Development?              The level of development specifications allows professionals in the industry to effectively evolvement of geometry an...

Generative Design: A Boon or Blessing

Image
Generative Design: A boon or blessing? It is rightly said that curiosity is the mother of innovation and imagination is one big key point necessary to be considered. Literally, without imagination, no one could have actually invented/discovered anything.  What if the person who was first to carve the square wheels into circles, that he invented/discovered something that is more efficient as compared to what already existed, never imagined about the shape? Every Architect, Structural Engineer, and MEP Engineer needs to have an immense amount of imagination to reach his goal. In other words, if you take the imagination term out of this industry, it will eventually collapse, or reach a stagnation point. It's the brains that run the AEC industries. As said brains(i.e. imagination power) are the most important factor, we all know that anything that can be the successor of a human brain is a brain the human has made using silicon and plastic. Yes, you are right! COMPUTER.  Since the...

Top Benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Image
         In the AEC industry, BIM is being used for several years. Recently, in India, it is used in many construction projects. There are many misconceptions about BIM, one of them is that it only refers to 3D model. BIM is actually a process for creating and managing all information about the project, leading to output known as Building Information Modeling, which contains the digital description for every aspect of a Physical project. Here are the main benefits of Building Information modeling (BIM):-       1] Better collaboration & Co-ordination             In the AEC industry, every project is always complex. There are many stakeholders and service providers at different processes. It is essential to share critical information and collaborate at different stages of projects. During design stages, many clashes occur in architectural, structural, and MEP design.             Th...

BIM - The Revolution In Construction Industry

Image
 Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. BIM consists mainly of 3D modeling concepts in addition to information database technology and interoperable software in a desktop computer environment that architects, engineers, and contractors can use to design a facility and simulate construction. What is BIM? Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure. BIM is the process of delivering and operating built assets using well-structured digital information that all the necessary parties have access to. Building Information Modeling (BIM) also known as "Virtual Building" or Building Simulation". It consist of drawings, building views, visualizations, calculations and quantity take-offs...
