BIM: What kind of information is modeled in Parametric Building Information Models?

In Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry design and construction professionals totally rely on the information which is modeled in Building Information Models which are developed in Revit. The techniques of carrying out construction projects have changed a lot over the years as day by day new software products are being launched for the growth and development of architects and engineers.

Building Information Modeling is the process and technology which has played a major role in the growth of worldwide Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry. Today no architect and engineer across the globe want to execute commercial as well as residential building projects without the support of Building Information Modeling services. They always have this urge that they should be equipped with accurate design and construction information before they get into the proposed location for carrying out actual construction.

That means BIM Modeling services are absolutely significant for effective design documentation of building projects. What exactly are Building Information Modeling services?

Well, BIM modeling services are those architectural and engineering services which are performed separately for architecture, structure and MEP for the production of parametric models which contain effective information about building components.

In fact parametric Building Information Models effectively represent the entire physical and functional characteristics of a facility in 3D. Every information associated to design, construction, scheduling, bill of materials, material take offs etc is effectively modeled in parametric models by BIM modelers.

In 3D BIM models, modelers only include information associated to the design such as dimensions, size and shape of building elements. On the other hand when it comes to modeling information related to time, BIM 4D services is created by them. Similarly information related to the cost of the project is included in BIM 5D Services. All these models are effectively used for the analysis of the project which helps in tackling major issues that can be confronted by design and construction professionals on the location.
