BIM Benefits for Architects Silicon EC UK Limited


Architecture designing services has been a major factor driving infrastructure and real estate sector. Now, the arrival of BIM is shaping the future if architectural plan ning and designing. Building Information Modeling helps architects throughout the design process. The architectural BIM models give a clear insight to optimize designs as per the requirements of the contractors and builders. Architectural planning and designing help to deliver projects with improved quality and efficiency.

Using Building Information Modeling, architects intelligent, 3D models of complex projects.

are

developing

It gives them a deeper understanding of how the building will look and work after the construction. Architectural 3D models improve collaboration, visualization and allow accurate analysis. Contractors and builders who use architectural BIM models get more work done in less time. The 3D visual models of architectural designs made it easier to get approvals from authorities. The construction efficiency also increases as the reports for material quantity takeoff, BOM comes along with architectural 3D models.

Benefits of BIM Architecs 5 http://www.siliconec.co.uk/


1) Improves Coordination: Architectural designing and drafting improve coordination with structural and MEP design models. But when BIM models toches the projectit brings the whole construction team on one platform. It allows each member to check architectural layout plans and approve designs. Overall BIM allows the architects to save time, cost of rework and gets better results in lesser time.

2) Track the changes: In Building Information Modeling, contractors and builders can keep a track on changes and maintain the design versions. It enhances the transparency and reliability among the team members. BIM helps you to include more and better inputs from the clients. Overall, Building Information Modeling has set the new standard of designing among construction companies of all sizes.

3) Elimination of errors: Preparation of architectural engineering designs is a complex process. The intelligence of Building Information Modeling makes it easier to spot and solve the errors. It reduces the chances of the rework and saves both cost and time. The result is precise and detailed architectural designs in a more understanding format. 7 http://www.siliconec.co.uk/


4) Enhanced Detailing: Architectural planning requires lots of detailing for efficient construction. The BIM model contains more details than the architectural 2D drawings and documents. It has details including information on the models, quantities, specification and materials used in the construction. Level of detailing (LOD) is done as per the AIA standards.

5) Clear Visualization and spatial arrangement: 3D floor plan with furniture detail and architectural layout with building elements is always better than 2D architectural designs. Using different colour schemes better communication is established between architects and clients.

Beyond coordination and visualization, architects integrate their architectural designs with MEP and structural layout to create a virtual walkthrough and augmented reality for the planned design. After the design is decided, construction can be animated in a sequential way with various LODs as per AIA standards.

Architectural BIM services are beneficial throughout the construction process

1) Pre-construction period: i) Ease of planning ii) Accuracy in BOM, material planning and QTS iii) Getting faster approvals from tender iv) BIM documentation

Architectural BIM services are beneficial throughout the construction process 2) On-going period:

construction

i) Tracking the construction process ii) Ensuring the minimum material wastage iii)Avoiding crashes and hazards

3) Post-construction period: i) Useful during maintenance of the building ii) Useful for renovation iii) Provide guidance in retrofitting and refurbishment

iv)Managing materials and labours http://www.siliconec.co.uk/


Building Information Modeling also helps in environmental planning to

make the construction project more sustainable. 

Construction activity is one of the main cause of environmental pollution. Using architectural BIM models to plan the construction reduces the adverse impact on the environment by eliminating the need for a rework. BIM allows the architects to concentrate on their creative interior designs. Instead of preparing 2D architectural drawings, architects can make 3D, 4D and 5D models by placing intelligent objects that contain vital information. Before construction work is done on-site, the virtual designs are now built-in 3D environment. All these benefits of BIM modeling have promoted the rate at which architects deliver the designs. http://www.siliconec.co.uk/
