Revamp construction process by implementing bim!
- 1. Revamp construction process by implementing BIM! It is quite apparent that in the last few decades the growth of Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry has been recorded above the expected standards and Building Information Modeling has been exclusively accountable for this development. Few decades back architects and engineers had to struggle tremendously for accomplishing construction projects as no effective technology was available to them for simplifying the obstacles and complications that arose during project lifecycle. It has only been thirty to thirty five years since BIM came to the contact of AEC professionals after which building construction started to become easier for them as project information started to be safeguarded in 3D models. In short effective information which remains at the heart of seamless construction started to be recorded by design and construction professionals in BIM models. Building Information Models are developed by design and construction professionals so that building design can be improved and information can be swiftly rotated between entire building stakeholders which results in seamless construction. Now you must be thinking how does that happen, Right? Well, let me brief you about how does BIM works for AEC professionals in execution of construction projects. So the process starts with the development of independent BIM models for each and every building discipline such as architecture, structure and MEP. These models are developed with the assistance of proficient design development teams which are assisted by architects and engineers who develop the first blueprints of individual building discipline. Such as an architect provides support or assistance to a team which develops architectural model whereas a structural engineer helps the structural design team as they are technically proficient and solely accountable for the design and construction of their respective disciplines. So in this way precise and effectual 3D models are created BIM modelers which clearly describe the design of building disciplines. Effective tools that are included in BIM software Revit empower design and construction professionals in exploring different design alternatives which only helps in improving the design. Design completion is followed by the inspection of design errors between model elements which further refines the design and leads to flawless construction. The process that is undertaken to examine and determine the clashes is called clash detection process which is also performed by AEC professionals with the support of BIM software Navisworks. So this clearly shows that BIM is necessary for effective construction.
