Significance in construction
of
Architectural
BIM
In context of architectural design and construction, when it comes to cutting down on cost and time it is important for building professionals that Building Information Modeling services are implemented. You believe it or not but Building Information Modeling services have become absolutely integral and instrumental part of worldwide construction industry today, as architects, engineers, contractors and even fabricators and owners thoroughly rely on them. Building Information Models contain the output of key design and construction professionals, who individually take care of the design and construction of individual building disciplines.
That means design and construction professionals who look after the design development of different building disciplines can effectively represent their work through 3D BIM models. BIM models created for representing the architectural design of the building by design and construction professionals have enormous advantages over traditional 2D drawings. There is no disputing the fact that architectural design represented through 3D
model provides explicit details about each architectural element, which is absolutely impossible with 2D drawings. All kinds of design discrepancies are effectively eradicated by design and construction professionals when they perform architectural modeling in 3Dbuilding design software Revit. It contains some of the most extraordinary and amazing tools which are highly essential for architectural modeling. Its features such as worksharing reinforce collaborating among team members, which ultimately strengthens the coordination of information on design and construction. Architectural model has enormous capacity to providing extensive information concerning design, construction, scheduling, materials, quantity takeoffs, total time and cost of the project, and bill of materials etc. when additional dimensions are incorporated in it such as 4D, 5D and 6D etc. After the completion of 3D architectural model it can be compared with the BIM models developed for other disciplines for identifying design problems between them. That means architectural, structural and MEP models can be compared for clashes between their elements. Interference detection or clash detection is performed for multidiscipline models in Navisworks Manage wherein all kinds of element collisions and overlapping situations are identified which should them be resolved by AEC professionals by implementing changes in the design. In this way high quality architectural design is developed by AEC professionals with the implementation of BIM.
