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. They’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 . ·          Scrutinize the Fixed Costs of Everything The contractors should scrutinize the fixed costs related to everything from Personnel to Property, Plant & Equipment. For instance, it’s natural to hold onto one...

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...

5D Building Information Modeling For Construction 4D BIM and 5D BIM technologies are revolutionizing the construction industry. Governments in several countries across the globe have authorized Building Information Modeling adoption for professionals in the Architectural, Engineering & Construction industries. Implementing the new BIM trend helps in an efficient deployment of resources, designing, planning, and decreasing rework during the construction process.  What is 5D Building Information Modeling or 5D BIM? 5D BIM for construction comes as a successor to 4D BIM time scheduling , integrating design with estimates like cost and encompassing the production of quantities through bills of quantities or quantity takeoff (BOQ/Bills Of Materials), rate of development, and overall costs. The integrated information-rich 3D BIM models with additional dimensions of 4D construction scheduling and 5D cost estimation ensure improved management of change orders on project co...
