Unlock the power of interdisciplinary designing by leveraging the building information modeling system

Building information modeling is a neoteric (recent/modern) advancement in computer-aided design. BIM allows the creation of an absolute digital twin of your construction project. By digital twin, we mean an exact digital replica of your building with all the information regarding the engineering domains associated with it. BIM not only sets a means for the 3D visualization of projects but also includes several powerful tools and automation that facilitate the overall workflow of a construction project. BIM integration in projects gives way to the holistic management of multidisciplinary structured data.

BIM and Construction Management

BIM construction management is a way to manage the project effectively, with collaboration at its heart. Building information management is a complex task with several interconnected processes. Often, there is slackening because more than one discipline is in the play. BIM building information management provides a platform to manage this complex workflow efficiently, By promoting collaboration between the distinct discipline through a unified 3D BIM model. As a result, all the information is exchanged and updated in real time, with everyone working on the same model.

We help your organization implement 3D BIM modeling from early transition to complete BIM adoption.

BIM technology in construction and other manufacturing projects helps increase workflow efficiency by ten folds. In addition, the collaborative nature of BIM ensures clash-free, coordinated designing of buildings, thus increasing the efficiency throughout the project and impacting the ROI of the project directly. Our experienced BIM experts devise curated workflows and BIM execution plan that best suit your organization’s capabilities. This process helps you transition to BIM most simply and systematically possible. Moreover, we follow a simple pre-BIM process to evaluate the requirements of our clients and deliver building information modeling services accordingly.

The complete workflow for the implementation of building integrated modeling -

Understanding the project feasibility

The Implementation

After attaining certain BIM maturity in the organization, we begin the process of BIM implementation. We work collaboratively and closely with our clients and implement BIM as smoothly as possible. We follow a standard organized implementation strategy ensuring hassle-free execution.

Why consider BIM virtual design and construction (VDC) & BIM project management over conventional techniques?

BIM is interoperable, letting you work across different disciplines over several CAD software

Building information modeling services let you create and manage data during the project's design, construction, and operations phases. BIM integrates multidisciplinary data in a single model allowing collaborative working across disciplines. As a result, BIM helps in more significant project insights, creates sustainable options, and increases cost-saving in AEC projects. Moreover, constructions realized with BIM help operations and management processes in the future. Simply put, 3D BIM modeling services are an integral and pragmatic solution in helping manage the project lifecycle efficiently.

BIM design services are helpful to a broad category of professionals

BIM For Facility Managers

After the buildings are built, BIM helps facility managers by giving quantifiable insights to manage and operate the building effectively. In addition, true-to-life BIM models of the facility provide information regarding the costs of the operations and maintenance of the facility on an as-needed basis.

BIM For Architects And Engineers

Architects and Architectural engineering benefit from BIM considerably. With BIM, architects can collaborate efficiently with structural and mechanical engineers. In addition, BIM helps communicate with clients through 3D visualization. Lastly, BIM helps in better documentation and reduces design errors.

BIM For MEP

BIM creates intelligent clash-free MEP systems. BIM helps design, detail, and fabricate coordinated MEP systems. MEP designers can utilize BIM to analyze the strategies holistically for better system optimization and constructibility. It also helps reduce the on-site risks and create coordinated systems following other disciplines.

BIM For Fabrication

BIM for digital fabrication is a groundbreaking process to expeditiously design and develop prefabricated products. Using BIM for fabrication, architects, designers, contractors, and engineers can improve the design and manufacturing of prefabricated products. In addition, BIM allows 3D visualization of prefabricated products for holistic R&D.

BIM For Structural Engineers

REVIT Modeling services help structural engineers design, detail, document, and fabricate structural frameworks through an intelligent 3D-model-based workflow. REVIT for structural engineers enables structural engineers to work more efficiently through integrated collaboration. It also helps connect designs and drawings to fabrication for quicker and more efficient delivery of projects.

BIM For Contractors

BIM helps contractors throughout the project life cycle, from the pre- to post-construction phases. It facilitates project scheduling, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimations for the materials. BIM also enables the devising of accurate project bidding, removing any conflict of interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the process of BIM modeling?
      The BIM process embraces the creation of intelligent 3D BIM models that effectuates the flawless construction experience – increasing the overall workflow efficiency, which directly increases the ROI of the project. Moreover, the BIM process supports the management of a project throughout its lifecycle. The process :
    • Planning
    • Designing
    • Building
    • Operating
  • What is BIM used for? And why is BIM important?
      BIM is used to manage complex data utilized during the different phases of any building project. BIM creates intelligent 3D models (digital twins) containing information about the construction project. BIM integrates multidisciplinary data in a single model to which stakeholders can contribute collaboratively. Moreover, the ever-increasing population has compelled the AEC industry to look for more innovative, efficient, and sustainable ways to design and build, and BIM satisfies this impeccably.
  • What is BIM interoperability?
      BIM interoperability is the ability of BIM systems to exchange and use information. BIM interoperability enables AEC teams to work fluidly across different disciplines. Data exchanged through BIM can be used across various software and tools. BIM maintains a strict data exchange standard that enables interoperability across platforms.
  • What are BIM dimensions? And what are the different BIM dimensions in BIM modeling?
      BIM dimensions refer to the information type and how it is displayed in a BIM model. There are 7 BIM dimensions named – 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, and 7D. Each of these dimensions adds specific information and value to digital BIM models.
    • 1-Dimensional BIM : Data analysis and research on project feasibility and constructibility. Strategies are made to implement BIM, and conceptual designs are produced.
    • 2-Dimensional BIM : In 2D BIM, 2D CAD drawings with the X and Y axis of the structural framework are produced.
    • 3-Dimensional BIM : 3D BIM is the most adopted BIM model. A 3D model is an intelligent BIM model with lots of information on the building. This model in the X-Y-Z plane is also known as a coordinated model, as it contains all the project's schematic and design data.
    • 4-Dimensional BIM : The 3D BIM model is combined with the fourth dimension - time. 4D models facilitate on-site construction management and project scheduling. As a result, construction efficiency increases significantly.
