Top reasons for using Building Information Modeling! The landscape of Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry has experienced a drastic change in the last few years globally. Today only few people construct stand alone houses which were quite prevalent a few decades ago, that means common people are now inclining towards buying flats and apartments according to their requirements. Due to advancements in technology and tools sophisticated flats and apartments are getting constructed and more and more people are buying them today as they are not that expensive. With the advancement in technology and techniques drastic changes are taking place in imaging and building documentation process. Implementation of right technology and methods is the key to accomplish a building project today. The right technology that I am talking about is Building Information Modeling which is used for performing multiple tasks throughout the project lifecycle by design and construction professionals. One of the prime reasons for using BIM is to separately develop the design of individual building disciplines such as architecture, structure and MEP with the help of Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP respectively. Brilliant design is developed with the assistance of all these BIM software as they provide great platform for design development in terms of allowing design team members to collaborate and coordinate successfully. Distribution of information effectively among design development teams allow them to create accurate and effective design. Multidiscipline BIM models that are generated by design development teams with the assistance of Revit can be further fine-tuned. When I say fine-tuning the design, it means removing the errors from the design and that is achieved by AEC professionals by executing clash detection process. Navisworks plays an important role in clash detection as it incorporates effective tools that are indispensable for users when it comes to detecting the errors. Errors are always detected between model elements belonging to different disciplines. Clash detective tool of Navisworks allow AEC professionals to identify every possible error that exist between model elements. Solutions for the detected errors are provided after that. Clash detection process is largely accountable for eliminating costly rework which eventually leads to seamless construction. Building Information Modeling also help in developing energy efficient buildings since Revit allows architects and engineers to develop energy analytical models.
