For streamlining construction process get all the information from bim models

For streamlining construction process get all the information from BIM models Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the paramount reason behind the steady growth of Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry in the last few decades. Before BIM, entire industry was undergoing a tough time in terms of project execution as no concrete tools were available to design and construction professionals which could help them in planning, design and construction.

But suddenly BIM came into picture and started to provide support in all the crucial phases of construction. The main function of BIM’s application in construction is to develop high end design for multiple building disciplines such as architecture, structure and MEP which is most important for constructing a building. Can you ever imagine developing a building without having an effective design? I am sure no one can do that, not even the best architect in the whole world. Hence it is important that AEC professionals such are architects and engineers have effective building design with them before commencing final construction. And this requirement or necessity is effectively accomplished by Building Information Modeling, which successfully focuses on the developing the design for each trade. Revit which is used in modeling has its different flavors for each discipline such as Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP. Since, for every building discipline there is an individual software product, design and construction professionals can develop highly functional models for them. BIM models are developed by modelers after collecting inputs from various sources such as architects, engineers and contractors etc. for acquiring inclusive information. For each discipline 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D models can be developed and a variety of information can be obtained by AEC professionals from them. Information accommodated in these BIM models is effectively discussed by key building professionals during preconstruction for finding out project complications.

BIM models produce information such as material take offs, construction schedules and bill of materials etc apart from giving details on building design. With this all-inclusive information AEC professionals can effectively anticipate all the major challenges of the project. And all these challenges can be successfully evaluated and addressed by them before final construction.
