How BIM can optimize trade coordination for your project needs?

Image
Utilizing BIM for Trade Coordination   Building Information Modeling ( BIM ) is a process that uses 3D models to represent a building or infrastructure project. BIM can be used to improve trade coordination by providing a single source of information for all stakeholders. This can help to identify and resolve conflicts early in the design process, which can save time and money. āž”ļø What is BIM? BIM is a process that uses 3D models to represent a building or infrastructure project. BIM models can be used to represent the physical and functional aspects of a project. This information can be used to improve communication, collaboration, and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. šŸŽÆ Read More:- What is BIM (Building Information Modeling) & 7 Levels of BIM āž”ļø How BIM can optimize trade Coordination Itā€™s useful to look at steps of the coordination workflow from the perspective of the BIM coordinator. BIM can optimize trade coordination in a number of ways. First, it can he...

BIM for Utility Management in Construction Sector | Tejjy Inc.

Image
Infrastructure & utilities are used interchangeably. The infrastructure encompasses the hard assets created by the government as well as the private entity to facilitate the comfort of the residents and the day-to-day processes of a geographical area. A community infrastructure comprises the physical piping, sewers, roads, electrical networks, water supply, and bridges, whereas the homes, commercial, and industrial facilities accommodate the MEP infrastructure . The utility network includes the management of physical components that sustain &support the welfare of a population and the economy of a country. Normally, utilities are accepted as a public or private service supplying the energy & natural resources distributed by the infrastructure of the area. The water, gas, electricity, sewage, and telecommunication comprising of broadband internet utilities hinge on a consistent infrastructural base for safe delivery or reoccurrence of utility service for clientele.

How Should Construction Contractors Respond to Global Pandemic? Tejjy Inc.

Image
Construction veterans expect the global economy to contract and expand. However, the Global pandemic presents construction contractors with a challenge.  Dr. John Killings Worth, Construction Management Professor at Colorado State University, who conducted extensive research on how contractors can withstand economic recessions stated that several contractors have no option rather than being reactive in the short term. They are not sure when the job sites will open or close. Theyā€™re considering the forecasts from qualified statisticians & public health officials, owing to the inadequate data availability. Long-term Strategy for the Contractors It is significant for the contractors to dive into long-term strategies . Ā·          Scrutinize the Fixed Costs of Everything The contractors should scrutinize the fixed costs related to everything from Personnel to Property, Plant & Equipment. For instance, itā€™s natural to hold onto one...

Civil 3D 2021 New Features | Tejjy Inc.

As remote working becomes common due to the Corona Virus pandemic, Autodesk has released Civil 3D 2021 with attributes that can align with the current working circumstances.   Let us now dig a little deep into the new features in Civil 3D 2021:   1. Pressure Pipe Layout and Edit Users can now create and edit path-based pressure networks with the help of enhanced pressure commands.   What does this imply? Users can define paths based on locations selected or objects/parts selected and append path-based pressure network pipe-runs. When the pipe runs are updated in the model, parts remain connected as specified but the fittings are updated according to the new part sizes. Automated creation of bends for new pipe runs. Automated inclusion of pipe fittings for intersecting pipes based on new part sizes. Users can alter the pipe runs by adding or removing bends and points of intersection and fittings will be automatically updated according to the changes. User...

Revit 2021 New Features for Architecture | Tejjy Inc.

Image
Every year in April Revit releases a new version with enhanced features. However, this year the skeptics were doubtful whether Revit would go ahead with the launch amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But, it is heartening to note that despite the circumstances, Revit has kept up its schedule and released the update this April.   While Revit 2021 has several innovative features to enhance workflows for construction professionals, in this blog we will focus on the features relevant for architectural purposes.   Let us look at what Revit 2021 has in store for architects:   Slanted Walls   The much-awaited feature is now available for architects to offer innovative design options. Architects can now slant walls without using a mass element as a host with the help of the Cross-Section parameter. The wall angle can be set with the help of the Vertical parameter. The slant angle can vary between -90 to +90 degrees with 0 degrees denoting vertical.   It is now possibl...

Significant Technology Trends Navigating Improved Construction Productivity

Image
Are you yearning for the technology trends that can improve the productivity of your construction? Here are a dozen of the construction technologies for navigating your projects, bringing the most fruitful result. 1.        Predictive Analytics: Predictive analytics are making risk management easier . The technology helps to analyze data from contractors, material suppliers, designers, and the construction site to weigh up risk factors based on previous records. This provides dashboards where General Contractors can detect the project elements at the highest risk and allow them to drill down to perceive the risk assessment. 2.       Construction Software & Data Ecosystem: Real-time collaboration is considered to be a vital constituent of the entire building process. Its impact on the construction sector is expected to increase considerably. The data ecosystem has truly played an essential role in bringing a para...

BIM Bringing Paradigm Shift to Construction Industry | Tejjy Inc.

Image
Are you enthusiastic about BIM (Building Information Modeling) adoption ? Do you think it stands for a paradigm shift from Building Information to Business Intelligence? Is BIM complicated for you? Well, the concept may seem complicated to many people as they consider BIM to be a magic bean with the capability of   miraculously converting designs into beautifully rendered images. To put it simply, BIM is a process where the 3D model of the building   is enriched with spatial and non-spatial information. If you consider an instance of a pump, the spatial information such as dimensions & locations as well as the non-spatial data including the capacity, fluid handled, producer, supplier, date of installation, etc. can be added over the 3-Dimensional pump model, making it enriched with data. So, BIM constitutes to be a shared digital representation of the physical and functional attributes of a built object, establishing a reliable root for decision-making. Conve...

Collaborative Technologies Bringing a Breakneck Speed to the Construction Sector

Image
Are you aware of the collaborative technology trends in the construction sector? Well, as an AEC professional, you must be responsive to the new technology trends that can bring a breakneck speed to the construction industry. Here are a few technologies you implement for piloting your construction projects on the right track. 1.        3D Printing: 3D printing technology can revolutionize material sourcing. For prefabrication & modularization , materials for a project can be printed and transported to the job site. This facilitates construction companies to receive materials faster in a streamlined way by eliminating unnecessary steps. 2.       Artificial Intelligence (AI): Implementation of artificial intelligence on the construction site with the usage of robotics for bricklaying & autonomous equipment can complete tasks without human interaction. AI provides benefits to construction projects through impr...
