Importance of BIM for different building trades BIM which basically denotes Building Information Modeling services is tremendously beneficial for the design and construction of high performing buildings. In other words BIM services are utmost important for constructing precise buildings and other structures. With the assistance of BIM modeling services, AEC professionals provide digital representation to building design which consists of architectural, structural and MEP design. From the beginning of construction process till its completion digital models work as knowledge base for AEC professionals as they incorporate entire building data into them. The information that can be derived from digital models include, cost estimates, construction documents, information on schedules, material take offs, quality control and sustainability etc. This comprehensive building information is utilized for gaining better control over project outcomes. This indicates that the information that is created by AEC professionals during preconstruction regarding design and construction of the building is protected safely into 3D models developed for different disciplines. Building information about the upcoming building which is created with the close cooperation of architects, engineers, surveyors, and contractors etc. is successfully utilized throughout the process in the form of 3D models belonging to multiple trades. When it comes to developing architectural design Revit Architecture is utilized which provides enormous support to architects and BIM modelers in constructing high performing architectural framework. For gaining a comprehensive knowledge about design and construction of architecture, BIM modelers develop 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D models which incorporate information related to design, time required for construction, cost estimates, and sustainability etc. When design is created in a digital environment, AEC professionals have huge chances of exploring different design options which ultimately results into the creation of high performing architectural design. Similarly high performing structural and MEP design is developed by AEC professionals with the support of Revit Structure and Revit MEP. The purpose of structural modeling is to develop effective structural elements and place them accurately in 3D space. A strong structural framework works as backbone of the building as it accounts for the unification of different trades. The above description clearly indicates that BIM is truly important for the design and construction of different building trades.
