If you have the plan of developing BIM as an asset, you may have gone through different pieces of advice from the contractors to make the ultimate move.It’s important to consult with the architects and the firms you will be collaborating to opt for a compatible solution from your perspective. Tips for Transitioning to BIM: ·          Many contractors prefer using CAD (Computer Aided Designing), but BIM (Building Information Modeling) brings before you the virtual 3D world of construction as in reality. ·          You need to provide 3-6 months for making the transition to BIM from 2D, through setting up BIM office standards, expectations from the team members, and standardizing the workflows. ·          Some may face a serious obstacle to efficient BIM implementation. In such a case, it would be wise to consult a competent BIM Modeling Company   that pro...

Are you looking for BIM Clash Coordination Services for your construction project in the USA? Well, the answer is to hire one of the best BIM clash detection and coordination service providers near to your areas – be it in DC, VA, MD, or Baltimore.   But why should you opt for BIM Clash Detection Services? What is BIM Clash Detection? Clash detection is a constituent of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process and is the recognition of conflicts or clashes, amongst architectural, structural, or MEPFP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, & fire protection) disciplines, through an automated and computerized approach. In BIM, Clash Detection is the method of detecting how and where the two parts of the building are interfering with each other. Why is Clash Detection Essential? Clash detection facilitates in reducing project errors in the existing or completed model before construction. It is important for recognizing and flagging conflicts occurring in the BIM Mod...

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...

Technology is making a great impact on the construction industry. Starting from cloud-based collaboration and the growth of digital twins to automatons, super-materials, and wearable technologies, an incredible array of developments are facilitating to improve the AEC (Architectural, Engineering & Construction) sector.  Have a look at the 7 emerging trends in 2020:  1.        Building Information Modeling (BIM) BIM (Building Information Modeling) is similar to CAD (Computer-Aided Design), but it’s not the same. BIM is a software application for 3D design to create the model of a building digitally. BIM also helps in increased prefabrication , modularization & eco-friendliness. The technology facilitates in creation a visually appealing 3D Model of a building with several layers of metadata and renders them in a collaborative workflow by capturing things in a real-life way. Nowadays, around 35% of builders are making u...

Every contractor needs to realize the benefits of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the AEC  (Architectural, Engineering & Construction) industry. The contractors should know how BIM is playing a prime role in the construction supply chain and speed up BIM adoption. An increased understanding of the fundamentals of BIM in the construction sector can facilitate a stronger supply chain. Many of the contractors are still not ready to implement BIM. The situation is more concerning with small and medium-sized firms, as they are not ready to implement BIM. Building Information Modeling cannot work properly if the professionals of the supply chain are not ready to understand the BIM benefits in a project.  Action plans that can help the construction industry to speed up BIM implementation include: ·          Emancipating BIM checklist for helping firms ensure that they are set for BIM implementation in 4 key areas – skills, pro...

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...
