BIM - The Revolution In Construction Industry

 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 are automatically derived from the 3D model.

Benefits of BIM

  • Collaboration and Coordination
  • Visualizations at fingertips
  • Cost-Effectiveness
  • Accessibility to information
  • Higher productivity

The key concept of BIM

  • It is a Database- not just 3D drawings.
  • It is all about sharing information through a model with all disciplines
  • Ultimate communication tool because it's visual
  • VDC+Analysis+facility information=BIM
With the help of BIM, the entire design and construction process will go as planned and excessive time in redesign and labor can be saved eventually resulting in overall cost reduction of the entire project.

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...

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...
