A brief note on different kinds of BIM services that are executed for a project A variety of preconstruction BIM solutions are provided to construction companies by engineering outsourcing firms and offshore vendors, for the effective execution of construction activities once the final construction starts. BIM services are executed for providing architectural and engineering solutions to potential clients who are involved in construction activities and who seek these services for minimizing the complications of building process.
BIM modeling services are very important for architects, engineers, contractors and builders etc. and these services are invariably executed by highly trained BIM modelers who are fully proficient in dealing with BIM software Revit. Revit modeling services lead to the production of immensely accurate digital models which represent architectural, structural and MEP design in 3D environment. The entire attention of BIM modelers remains on the accuracy of the design and hence they spontaneously coordinate design information among each other for avoiding confusion and gaining clarity. Apart from BIM modeling services, clash detection services are also performed for a building project. Clash detection identifies design clashes which may have resulted from
poor coordination of design information, its misinterpretation and omission of information while developing 3D models. Hence 3D models developed by optimizing Revit architecture, Revit structure and Revit MEP are effectively inspected in Navisworks for the identification of design errors. Clashes are identified among a large number of elements belonging to architecture, structure and MEP disciplines. Since building elements which clash with each other are developed in 3D, it becomes easy for design and construction professionals to sort out the issues simply by applying changes to the design. Apart from clash detection and Revit modeling services, BIM coordination services are also executed for building projects and their successful execution provide guarantee to design and construction professionals that multidiscipline elements can coexist effectively. Models belonging to multiple disciplines are combined in Revit, which results into the formation of a composite building model. BIM coordination provides huge advantages to AEC professionals as they can now access accurate building information from this model. No errors occur during final construction if it is carried out by referring composite building model.
