<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Architecture, engineering and
construction (AEC) industry has seen the fall of its productivity and work
efficiency over last 50-60 years. Key statistics on the official website of <a href="http://www.ukgbc.org/">UKGBC</a> quotes “About 400 million tons of
construction material is delivered to the construction site each year, out of
which almost 60 million goes straight to waste due to inappropriate ordering or
damage.” To general contractors and construction engineers, this is not only a
concern of materials wastage but also their planning and time management. It
consumes additional time to plan the schedule and timings with new ordering.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So how can general contractors
and construction engineers get out of this vicious circle of planning and
re-planning? Obviously, trying and implementing a method that has already been
proven to be a success elsewhere, such as practicing principles of lean manufacturing
for building construction projects. </span></span></div>

</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With implementation of BIM Level
2, lean practices come invariably. BIM implementation for construction project will
eliminate most of the redundant tasks causing waste of time and planning. However,
the current situation of annual waste statistics for the UK, as mentioned
above, indicates that this isn’t the case. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For any building element, the
ways of looking, perceiving and designing is different for various discipline
and hence the design will have as many versions as the disciplines. Say for
example, for an architect the building wall is about the outer look and
finishing; for a structural engineer it deals with the steel and concrete
material for strength; and, for a facility manager it is to see the maintenance
to have it sustained the way it was built originally. Thus, one building
element has several ways of perception and as many drawings in several
different software.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With design coordination on a common
platform, as offered in BIM Level 2; differences in designs are viewed from a
holistic approach. BIM solutions would integrate various steps of design
detailing and coordinating construction processes. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

disciplines; architectural, structural and MEP. It helps with a collaborative
approach for quantity takeoffs to avoid any mistakes in planning. Designs for
fabrication, from such BIM-ready 3D models essentially, integrate cost and
scheduling data. It eliminates repetitive tasks of evaluation and empowers site
managers to manage construction activities efficiently. </span></span></div>

</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Most of the waste results from
rework that takes place, due to improper alignment of activities, on any
building construction site. The solution to eliminate waste lies in
implementing BIM enabled construction sequencing with lean construction
principles. It allows creating and maintaining work orders across construction phases
and also during later stages of facility management.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Simulating construction process
in a digital environment empowers general contractors to maintain and control
supply chain by accurately planning the logistics. The knowledge of exact
location and expected time of delivery of pre-fabricated building elements
gives these contractors a sense of better judgement of delivering the ordered
quantity at correct construction site location. Efficient and safe operations
can be guaranteed by eliminating unnecessary delays due to idle time or reworks
during the entire project.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To justify this, <a href="http://www.hitechcaddservices.com/case-studies/bim-architectural-services-for-national-eye-hospital.php?utm_source=blogspot&utm_medium=web20&utm_campaign=content" target="_blank">reductionof 30-35% in budget was observed resulting from reduced waste</a> and reworks by
using BIM with LOD 300 during the construction of a hospital in Egypt. Instead
of going the traditional way, the construction firm decided to move ahead with
BIM and the engineers at design support firm developed architectural,
structural and MEP plans and developed a BIM ready model for the hospital. Information
pertaining to construction from such intelligent BIM 3D model resulted in
achieving proper coordination of activities. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When building elements are assembled,
key aspect to be considered by site engineers is about logistics and
installation process. The comprehensive understanding is necessary in order to
optimize the methods with minimum rework and follow lean construction approach.
Transportation, shipping weight and their charges; formworks, etc. are some of
the many key factors deciding construction processes. Say for instance, offsite
prefabrication of building elements has proved to be efficient in terms of
productivity and costs. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ideally, MEP connections as part
of BIM process, in the designed layout are the most difficult to manage and
install on site. But prefabrication of partially completed MEP panels can aid
well and manage installation easily. It is because of weight difference in partially
and fully fabricated panels; and the panels serve as formwork on their own. Near
site fabrication and a final on site installation can eliminate the issues
related to space, transportation, and risk to damage during transportation,
etc.; thereby reducing the waste. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today, most of the leading
construction firms have adopted BIM as several governments have mandated BIM, and
Netherlands is following the footsteps. What
needs to be done is implementing the idea to focus more on the construction
process leading to fine & efficient facilities. Adapting the principles of
lean manufacturing to construction alongside BIM can create wonders in reducing
the waste currently produced in the industry. </span></span></div>

projects, empowering every stakeholder who utilizes that information, transform
the project environment at large.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">CAD – Computer Aided
design process had unpredictable ways and means of coordinating data across the
construction projects. To eliminate the hassles and leverage BIM benefits to
its fullest, CAD clubbed with Autodesk Revit and VectorWorks, were introduced;
and became favorite of tens of hundreds in no time. This new avatar of CAD
facilitates more prominent data management in throughout the construction
project environment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">BIM the new way of
processing and collaborating information with data weaved in the 3D model;
enables the merging of specific models created by various disciplines to offer
a complete overview of the project. Information is added straight to the model clubbed
with materials, size, functions, time and other related data. Earlier, the design
process in the construction industry highly depended on the efficiency of
drawings and particulars to temporary workers, from concept design to final
construction and beyond.</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However with BIM</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">, it is all about
bringing the information and various elements together, so as to frame a
logical arrangement of data.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For a few years, each
foundation had its own meaning of BIM; i.e., the </span><a href="http://www.bimtaskgroup.org/"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none;">UK BIM Task Group</span></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> characterized BIM as “value-creating
collaboration through the entire life-cycle of an asset, underpinned by the
creation, collation and exchange of shared 3D models and intelligent,
structured data attached to them”. So if put simply, BIM places data
administration and information trade at the heart of the design procedure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With the increase in the
site or the building, the amount of information also increased alike, leading
the engineers and contractors to handover information overload to clients, this
was no good. Ideally the client is supposed to receive the right amount of
information with right data. Addressing this challenge by introducing two new
roles with newer project management responsibilities was not a big task for
those working on BIM modeling.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">BIM

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With information manager
walking in, integrating BIM across the project lifecycle and ensuring everyone
involved in the project are following the protocols, was implemented. Secondly
BIM model managers ensured that all models are logically shared by all those
involved in the construction project, and coordinated throughout the project
lifecycle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Intellectuals it seems had
predicted the kind of penetration BIM would have in the AEC industry and this
would have lead them to announce in a report way back in 2011, government
stated its objective that by 2016 it would need collaborative 3D BIM on all
government projects. The statement was the part of Government’s plan to
modernize the construction industry, with the absolute aim of achieving a 20%
cost cutting in construction and operation of new building. Significant to
attaining this goal is the employment of Building Information Modeling to
generate more effectual construction sector. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Like any new procedure,
change requires significant investment, particularly in an industry as divided
as building construction. The streamlined and savvy BIM process offers cost impoverishment
and change in the quality of construction. The sooner that building
construction companies focus on BIM, the more noteworthy the advantages will
be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For
MEP contractors working on 3D modeling and spatial coordination, it is as good
as working on actual construction and fabrication. The only difference is that,
initially a small group of experts used to work in virtual BIM environment, but
now it’s almost a set norm of the construction industry; which everyone
involved with the building project has to abide by. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Imagine
a MEP contractor who is not party to the spatial coordination, but is required
to be ready for field fabrication and install the system at locations
predefined by MEP contractors. They will fail miserably. Due to the
disintegration of one of the member, the entire MEP coordination team suffers
and it invites tons of RFIs - Request for Information and change orders,
resulting in exceeded budgets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">MEP
is an umbrella for several trained professionals from various disciplines
including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and fire protection contractors.
Though CAD brought reforms in traditional way of working, it has failed in risk
mitigation and cost efficiency. Thus construction project stakeholders leave it
to MEP contractors, to fix the design clashes if any during spatial
coordination, failing which they can be questioned for project delays and
increase in cost. But with MEP contractors implementing and adopting BIM, we
are likely to see the tables turn, quickly than expected.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Why use BIM for 3D modeling spatial

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">BIM
– building information modeling successfully enhances spatial coordination and
reduces site errors by revealing all possible complexities pertaining to the
building project, in the design phase itself. With BIM, all trades work
simultaneously and in case of <a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/clash-detection.php">MEP clash detection</a>,
modelers can spot on communicate with engineers and coordinators to resolve it.
This enhances the communication process and helps in resolving several queries - instantly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">MEP
teams, with the convenience of reviewing 3D models live, are able to resolve
complex clashes effectively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apart from
all this, BIM models facilitate extracting accurate quantity take offs. Since
it works as a data storage hub for every stakeholder involved, is conveniently
accessible to make immediate updates for the benefit of one and all. With
highly skilled professionals working on BIM, unlike traditional approach, it
defines collaboration at its best.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">MEP
contractors have a come long way, bearing the prime responsibilities of a
project, from commencement to its last phase of construction. Leading their way
to spatial coordination with less skilled and less proficient members across
the MEP project is indeed risky and difficult.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">MEP
contractors till now have stood out under such circumstances and saved
construction projects and building owners a big share of risk and expenditure.
But the change order submittals that come from owners or designers, or the last
moment schedule clashes are unavoidable and lead to excessive investment.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There
is almost no way MEP contractors can cut down on the change orders, till the
time they follow traditional methods used for spatial coordination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With owners keen on cutting down on budget
and mitigating risk through BIM, MEP contractors are bound to increase their
BIM engagement in the construction process. Apparently it seemed quite logical
to incorporate BIM and win projects.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">

you are looking out to achieve MEP BIM spatial coordination, it’s time to opt
for BIM MEP services, which help you keep pace with MEP trades involved in

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">BIM (Building Information Modeling) has brought a tremendous change in the construction sector, allowing the AEC fraternity to perform revisions in the building designs effortlessly and avoid possibilities of errors during the construction phase. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Structural BIM, being one part of the BIM umbrella, is meant to provide 3D object view of an actual building structure. It represents the building construction using 3D to 5D objects of the actual structure in the real world. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">BIM for structure helps in expanding the design decision matrix and improve the collaboration between other stakeholders involved in the construction process. Apart from that, it also assists in improving the overall quality of the building structure. Projects with design as well as building insights can be developed together through the use of Structural BIM. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">However, simply looking at the benefits of structural BIM will not help. You also need to understand about the types of services that <a href="http://www.hitechcaddservices.com/bim/?utm_source=blogspot&utm_medium=web20&utm_campaign=content" target="_blank">structural BIM service providers</a> deliver, and then select the ones that suit your specific requirements. This is essential to avoid cost overruns and also ensures that BIM actually works in your favor rather than leaving you clueless in the middle of the project. </span></span></span><br />

<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">BIM is an ideal
platform for manufacturers to keep the data clean. While there has been a
substantial focus in the building construction sector on the necessity for BIM
integration from supply chain delivery partners, the designers are equally dependent
on product manufacturers to be BIM Level 2 compliant. </span></div>
<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Two things
extremely vital for manufacturers are, providing the right kind and level of information
for input into BIM models and providing the BIM object (product) in a
compatible 3D image file for easy incorporation into the visualization. It’s
also necessary to see to it that these two utmost important requirements align completely;
enabling the concerned designers/ consultants to give their inputs required
about the shape, dimension, materials etc.</span></div>
<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">However, this doesn’t
always happen in reality. Manufacturers tend to overdo the content. Of all the
crimes they can commit, over detailing is the deadliest sin. The usual notion
is that manufacturers want their content to look “real”. Now, to bring the
aesthetic part of the product they put all sorts of the information thinking
this will help the product look as it is. And since a lot of time and resources
are invested in these, it’s the last thing a designer would want to remove from
the model. But the real problem lies in figuring out how relevant is this content
and why doesn’t is always work in favor of manufactures. </span></div>
<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Content
is often more on work of Art</span></b></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Manufacturers invest a lot
for the products to be modelled; but eventually dump them in the library with a
ray of hope that it might create some additional value or demand. Alas, this
doesn’t work. A manufacturer needs to understand from the designer’s/specifier’s
perspective as well. For instance, you are working on a commercial building project;
your goal should be to model visible elements only, instead of going in too
much detailing of the steel members. What happens is, the more information you
pile up the more your file size increases. And God forbid, if you have multiple
products in the same building, and you end up doing it to every of your
product, imagine the additional load you will be generating. It will make BIM
unmanageable and a designer might just skip a beat. </span></div>

Dream may be someone’s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nightmare</span></b></div>

<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Being a manufacturer, you
would obviously want your content to be loaded with all specs, since it’s your
baby, and you know it, in and out. But, quite often it’s just an ornament for
design purpose, barely needed. That said, it might not be needed in design and
may certainly not be needed even at handover. The overview of high geometric
and data details must be well thought-out , early on projects as there are
risks for its insertion, as it may not be valuable, or be excessive to
authenticate and in some cases will be absolutely useless.</span></div>
<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So, your BIM modeler may
end up choosing a <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">generic content</span> over
your over-spiced content, as they anyway don’t benefit; whether<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>they specify yours or not. Remember, it’s
also a hindrance if you and the designers are not on the same page when it
comes to making your content available on all platforms. </span></div>

<b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">How
do you make your way out of this?</span></span></b></div>
<div style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Make sure your products
depict the real-world product. It should be standardized against IFC and COBie
sets and later be worked on. Understanding industry is quite a help. Industry
asks for consistency & standards between generic objects and the ones provided
by manufacturers. Monitor how your customer can use the means to find the
required needs. Linking your object to important sources can come handy
anytime. Your object might not contain all the data construction professional
needs, so it’s advisable to link it to catalogues, manuals and other such literature.
Instead of presenting all the features in the geometry, additional details
can be comprised in the</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b> </b>product data (not
geometry) or linked to an external location (e.g. a data sheet on a

minimize the file size as well. </span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Understand that BIM
content is not ‘technical data’ as you assumed it beforehand. The problem is
that most manufacturers fail to understand BIM and the way their content is
used in the BIM process. For manufacturers it is vital to understand the need
of existing client, than the whole market. Your client may lead you to know and
understand the market in a better way. BIM is a wonderful opportunity for
manufacturers to establish themselves more strongly, provided used as an
intellect tool. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">report suggests </span>that BIM –
building information market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.6% from 2016 to
2022. Although, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has its roots in
architecture, it’s a collective myth amongst design and construction professionals.
They assume that BIM advantages, as delivered by <a href="http://www.hitechcaddservices.com/bim/?utm_source=blogspot&utm_medium=web20&utm_campaign=content" target="_blank">BIM Outsourcing Company</a>, are meant
only for architects and are significant only to building design and

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Actually, BIM is
applicable to anything that needs construction, which also includes civil and infrastructure
projects including roads, highways, tunnels and much more. As a matter of fact,
according to McGraw Hill’s report, </span><a href="http://bimforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/MHC-Business-Value-of-BIM-in-North-America-2007-2012-SMR.pdf"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Business Value of
BIM</span></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">,
civil engineers are embracing BIM software faster as compared to architects in
the initial days. End-result being the common goal for architects and engineers,
they opt for methods and standards of their own, which is a matter of concern. Let’s
take a look at the specific benefits that BIM provides from a civil and
infrastructure engineering standpoint and in what ways it transforms the equation
between an Architect and an Engineer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">BIM helps in
deriving current ground condition for civil work, using a variety of inputs
such as GIS data, underground radar, laser scanning to develop reliable model
of existing civil condition etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
model is than used to simulate the impact of the proposed design solutions,
engaging community stakeholders and visualization for development. Construction
documentation and design phases of the project are the crucial aspect for
infrastructure projects, where BIM has been profoundly helpful. Also, spatial
coordination and structural analysis are amongst the most commonly used applications
of BIM, across phases of infrastructure projects including Rail, Bridges &
Dams, Tunnels, and Ports etc. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">BIM permits engineers to conveniently predict
the performance of projects, prior to actual construction. It improves designs
with precise analysis; foresee design variations at designated time, mock-ups,
and offer greater quality of documentation. Furthermore, it authorizes
comprehensive groups to extract valuable data from the model to aid into earlier
decision making and further worthwhile project delivery. We tend to associate
BIM with 3D visualization, but its way more than that. BIM crafts a body of information
that can be used from commencement to decommissioning. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today, the scenario is such that, Dubai has already made BIM use mandatory for all large scale and complex building projects. Singapore has made it mandatory for projects bigger that 5000 square meters to use BIM. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">UK firms are also gearing up for adoption of level 2 BIM capabilities for all central government infrastructure projects from 2016, and France is preparing for a major shift by mandating BIM use for public procurement since 2017.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/architecture-bim-services.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BIM for architects and engineers</a> is a trend that cannot be ignored. The increased awareness of BIM benefits can only expedite the BIM adoption across all stages of the building lifecycle, and contractors will also insist that their supply chains use building information modeling too.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>The reasons why it is the best policy for architects and engineers to proactively embrace BIM are aplenty. </b></span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Going 3D, is better than 2D for spatial management </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is easy to create visualizations and communicate design and construction planning to concerned people </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is easy to analyze energy performance </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Information rich 3D models can be shared across structural and MEP disciplines to enable engineers communicate design information in a better manner </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the design and construction process becomes efficient, it helps architects gain an edge over competition </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Often architects are adamant reluctant to adopt BIM, due to lack of expertise. However outsourcing BIM solutions can be the best way out. BIM adoption can hence be of great business value for architects with small or medium sized practices.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How important it would be to you if all design documents, ideas, operational details, functional characteristics, pertaining to a construction project is kept intact in a centralized information source?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheZKnQSxCM21YBXgIaSkAFI3zOUJqqPBqwQIE8rJc6c83xNO4wTCNpOk7cG8H39zkQVGeqwlwSVh24mU4C4AbAmsbhrPuenzqN8693DcyV0zyC49myJzESFVwJUWcAAE9IclwTCmzpY2Y/s1600/BIM.PNG" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>How About If There Isn’t Any Hassle of Spilling out Information or Creating Redundant Data?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/bim-modeling-services.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BIM for building owners and developers</a></span>, creating a comprehensive business model regarding a construction project now becomes easier and hassle-free. With the use of three-dimensional, real time software, you can now create a building model that demonstrates its entire life cycle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>What is Business Information Modeling?</b><br /><br />BIM is the process of creating a building model that ideally represents light analysis, geometry, spatial relationships, geographic details, and other properties and components of the building that may be generic, undefined, or oriented to void shapes or solid shapes. The objects are typically consistent in the way of location, size, and specification. In a nutshell, business information modeling typically represents the actual parts and components used in constructing the building. It prevents any loopholes or errors from creeping into the design of the building, thus, eliminating uncertainties in the construction process. BIM on projects is regularly updated to provide a more comprehensive and accurate view of the building.<br /><br /><b>How Does Building Information Management Help Developers and Owners?</b><br /><br />BIM for building owners and developers has brought a revolution in the construction architecture, changing the traditional methods that used computer aided drafting procedures for drawing and designing. Simultaneously, enhanced data sharing capabilities have also been added than before.<br /><br /><b>Discussed Herewith is How Building Owners and Developers can Leverage BIM:</b></span><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gives a complete snapshot of the project:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> BIM on projects provides the engineers, designers, stakeholders, and managers a comprehensive view of the entire construction project. This enables every individual related to the project to have reliable and accurate information that can be easily tracked for project assessment, coordination, communication, cost estimation, and progress. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Provides important documents:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> While construction designs are often substantiated with a wide range of documents such as 3D or 2D drawings, they typically lack other relevant information such as bills of purchase, agreement details, bids, schedules, government and building specifications, etc. In such a scenario, BIM for building owners and developers has the capability to fill up the information gap to provide complete coordination. It also provides an improved version over 2D drafting, giving an angle view of the building, which helps in identifying and rectifying the errors well in advance.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reduces cost and Enhances Productivity:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> BIM is the single source of valuable information pertaining to the construction project. Hence, it improves overall communication and operational efficiency. This helps in minimizing approval and cross referencing time during the construction phase that leads to better productivity and quality of work. This, in turn, helps in reducing the project construction cost and time.</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">BIM on projects also helps in reducing reworks by identifying and rectifying the design loopholes and error well in advance of construction. It also improves coordination and enhances customer satisfaction with transparency and consistency in the project, speed of work, and quality. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Revit 3D BIM is created using these <a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/revit-families.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Revit family creations for BIM</a>, and each family is categorized into elements that have similar size, material type and other parametric variables. Any change to a family type results in instant change across all the elements of that family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Revit software contains predefined families, and users can also create custom families with specific properties and parameters as desired to suite project purpose. This process helps create a centralized building data management system, which in turn helps improve the quality of BIM.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Revit Family Creation Can Be Bifurcated Into Three Primary Categories:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>System Families:</b> These are used for creating building basic structural elements like walls, ceilings, floors, columns, stairs etc. these families are defined in Revit architecture and cannot be loaded in projects from external files, and neither can these families be used outside the project outlines. <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Loadable Families: </b>Loadable families are created for architectural elements like doors, windows, fixtures, furniture etc. These files can be created in .rfa files and then loaded into your project at any time when required.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>In Place Families:</b> This includes creation of specific and unique BIM elements for an AEC project. When an in place element is used, a new families created in Revit for that particular element. Multiple type creation for this element is not possible; however, the same element can be used across the projects at various instances.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Revit families for BIM can be created from scratch by feeding all the requisite details, an existing family can also be modified and customized as per requirement – for this experts might import a template for say doors, and then modify the specification as per the project requisites;besides, ready made families can be used right away if the requirements are basic and can be fulfilled by existing Revit family.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Creating Advanced Families in Revit, helps develop a high quality BIM. Such type of family creation not only speeds up the project coordination and management process but also increases project efficiency and helps cut down the project costs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BIM- i.e. building information modeling is an effective tool that has brought in a revolution in the way building and construction projects are handled and executed. However, the capabilities of BIM are not limited to just the construction process. BIM capabilities can be leveraged way beyond the design and construction of a building and used for effective operations and maintenance of a facility after it is occupied. <br /> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are several dimensions of BIM where 4D BIM refers to construction and scheduling, 5D refers to cost estimation, the 6th dimension is that of design for sustainability while the 7th dimension to BIM is its ability to contribute and aid facility management in an efficient manner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Maintaining Records For As Built Model in BIM</span></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Buildings undergo a range of changes from the stage of design right through all the stages of a buildings life cycle. All these changes should be updated in a <a href="https://www.hitechcaddservices.com/bim/?utm_source=blogspot&utm_medium=web20&utm_campaign=content" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BIM model to facilitate management of a building</a> once it is occupied. Besides any repair or renovation done to suite the changing spatial requirements should also be updated in a BIM model so that any other renovation and refurbishment work in future can be carried out with these changes in consideration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>How does BIM Support Facility Management?</b></span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li value="1"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BIM is loaded with all spatial information of a building. As a result, it doubles up as a building documentation file, with an added advantage of easy to understand visual information.</span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An effective maintenance plan can be prepared by integrating BIM with computer aided maintenance management system. Hence, an improvised operation and maintenance tracking tool can be created.</span></li>
<br />
<li value="3"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The ‘I’ in BIM is of crucial importance and facility managers can use it to define energy efficiency goals and also achieve them.</span></li>
<br />
<li value="4"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BIM is specially very handy and useful to facility managers when they undertake any kind of repair or renovation work. BIM has all the MEP and structural information stored into it. Hence, repair work becomes easy and risk free.</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The growing use of BIM across the AEC industry has armed the facility managers to handle the operations and maintenance of a facility with utmost efficiency.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Creating sustainability design is the trend today. With the focus towards sustainable development and energy conservation, more importance is attributed towards creating design for a building that is energy-efficient, sustainability built, and fosters environment development.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">To make sustainability design more effective, it is important to consider integral components of the building such as airflow and ventilation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">However, with traditional drafting procedures, it is difficult to get a comprehensive view of building’s airflow and ventilation in an accurate and efficient manner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>This is Where Building Information Management (BIM) Aids in Creating a Sustainable Design, Focused Towards Energy Conservation.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Airflow and ventilation are two important factors that help in determining how construction of the building would impact wind flow into and outside. BIM modeling for airflow and ventilation gives a comprehensive detail of building’s impact on wind flow, with detailed view from front, top, and bottom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The models are created based on client’s design specifications and modifying the same to keep sufficient space for airflow and ventilation. At the same time, it is ensured that no component of the building causes hindrance in airflow. All the components of airflow and ventilation are specially taken into consideration while creating the design.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/BIM-services.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BIM modeling</a> for airflow and ventilation helps in analyzing the design in details and identifying the weaknesses if any. It also becomes easier to identify the areas where there is lack of airflow or ventilation, or certain components that are causing a hindrance in wind flow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Revit is a creative suite of software catering to the varying needs of the architectural projects such as Revit Architecture and Revit MEP etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />The Revit consulting services help in a better coordination between the designers, engineers, fabricators and the clients, and thus result in a better productivity and a quick turnaround time in the projects. <br /><br /><b>The Agencies Offer The Revit Consulting Services in a Number of Essential Steps Such As:</b></span><br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<ul><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Design Visualization</b>:</u> This is the initial stage, in which the advanced tools of the Revit software are being utilized practically in developing the realistic models, as per the project specifications. <br /> </span></ul>
<ul><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Development of Production Drawings:</b></u> This is the step, in which the drafting and designs are being checked for any type of interferences, and the finalized working drawings are being created, upon which the design of the physical project will depend. <br /> </span></ul>
<ul><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Integration and Coordination of The Designs:</b></u> This is one of the important steps in the whole building design project. The design outputs produced with the help of Revit are being checked for compatibility with the other design outputs of the project. In case, any discrepancies occur, they are solved immediately with the clash detection and modification tools of the Revit software. <br /> </span></ul>
<ul><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Design Analysis:</b></u> Different types of load and stress calculations are being performed in the design analysis step of the project. This ensures the accuracy of the project models, as per the recommended standards. <br /> </span></ul>
<ul><span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Supply Chain:</b></u> This is the final stage in which, the Revit BIM models are exported to the desired format as required by the client. </span></ul>
<br />
These designs are sent to the fabricators so as to start the real physical designs of the project. The Revit models are also exported to the computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines in the appropriate file format so as to ease the fabrication process.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The <a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/revit-outsourcing.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Revit BIM consulting services</b></a> provide direct links to the CNC fabrication machines.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This methodology minimizes the input of the redundant data and saves a significant amount of time in the fabrication process.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Revit is a powerful and efficient architectural design and documentation software, developed by Autodesk Corp.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Revit family creation services aim at creating basic parametric families such as equipments and furniture etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Family creation includes modifying the different families in order to enhance the graphic quality of the project models.<b> </b></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<u><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Following Steps to Choose Revit Family Creation Services:</b></span></u><br />
<br />
<ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> • Selection of the family template<br /> • Planning of the parameters<br /> • Creation of the model geometry<br /> • Assigning of the object subcategories, as per need<br /> • Set up of the visibility rules<br /> • Creation of family types</span></ul>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Revit is one of the most successful software being implemented in the various building information modeling projects. All the elements in Revit software are family based and each element is of different shape, size and parametric variables.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The families can also be called as the internal data structure of the Revit software. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><u>Here Three Types of Families Namely The System Families.</u></b></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>System families:</b></u> The system families are managed by the internal database of the software. Users cannot create or delete any of the elements of system families. The basic elements such as the views, texts, dimensions etc. belong to the system families.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The various geometrical objects such as ducts, pipes etc. are also included in the system families. The elements of the system families cannot be shared between projects. <br /> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Component families:</b></u> The component families can be developed. In the so called Revit family creation services, the component families are being created. Users can customize the elements of the component families as per the specific needs of the project.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Upon creation, these components are stored in the external libraries of the software. The examples of component families include fixtures, fittings and devices etc. <br /> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>In-place families:</b></u> The in-place families are custom geometries that are not meant to be reused or shared between any projects. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Each <a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/revit-families.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Revit architecture family</b></a> is associated with two varieties of parameters. One is the type parameter and another one is instance parameter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The type parameter holds the common information about an element in the family. On the other hand, the instance parameters are associated with specific instances of the element, which are created by the user. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Key industrial revolution happens when technology changes the way a particular process is performed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In the world of architectural engineering design, building information modeling has enabled a sea of change ever since it has been introduced.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="MEP BIM Services" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidVsObZQHkkhPQTjW7rnW9aEREiKJO0U-uKrNKowDQaQ8ffsptuoMyzaVZQn_wCYTiwk1hPhqaWzCh2V-qbPktfWyzcT28KEfkwdoP723deV5vXvDWfq_EvKgLOK3MOOonzC6fMkFUq_t4/s320/MODEL-01.jpg" height="235" title="" width="400" /> </div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Nowhere have the benefits been more pronounced than in mechanical, electrical and plumbing modeling. Today, most engineers and architects resort to <a href="http://www.bim4dservices.com/mep-bim-services.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>MEP BIM services</b></a> when it comes to seamless, collaborative and organized MEP design.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">BIM has brought in a very collaborative atmosphere of modeling to MEP at a time when the need for such a tool was felt enormously.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: small;">But What Exactly do MEP BIM Services Perform? How are They Beneficial? </span></b></u></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In order to answer this, we'll first have to understand that in architectural modeling, MEP involves a lot of complexity. To begin with, a high level of collaboration is required.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">While individual modeling of mechanical, electrical and plumbing portions of the architectural design are easily done, it is hard to incorporate each by tying them together into a seamless unit. This collaboration often leads to clashes in the design, schedule and others. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Building Information Modeling solves this problem by providing great foresight on clashes, collaboration and scheduled development.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-size: small;"><b>MEP BIM Services Include:</b></span></u><br />
<br /></div>
<ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> • 2D and 3D drafting and modeling<br /> • Coordinated drawings and designs<br /> • Bill of materials<br /> • Schedules and time-management<br /> • Cost-effective processes (with cost-management)<br /> • 3D to 4D and finally to 5D BIM services</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Even though BIM is still in its nascent stage, several architectural designers and modelers have realized the potential it holds for fast, scheduled, exceptionally maintained modeling.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Since modeling decides how well the execution of the project goes on, BIM has become an industry-favorite.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Another part of BIM that has been termed as a popular feature that would raise its value is the ability to produce simulations right from within BIM software.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">While from an architectural viewpoint this might just be an embellishment to the overall feature-set of MEP BIM services, where it really matters is in terms of presentation and visual cues.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">MEP BIM Modeling Services present an excellent methodology to produce fantastic results faster, better and in a more organized way.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Quantification and estimation is the core process of all construction projects. An efficient building construction process is supported by developing workflows, methodologies and catalogs. Based on these, costs are forecasted during the early planning stages thus providing a significant boost to the work execution process.</span><br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Most Vital Steps to An Effective Quantification and Estimation Process For a Construction Project Are:</span></b></u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a) effective management of design information and access to quantity information </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">b) item & resource management.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRyHRJrEnQ76HrQwuhmHH1KOEbmnyL4AkgzdrQ7ONK4_wBwiM_nf0NwhaA6qEY0rJLJsQRmL7SEpaEpSFWrWOrPPnIZ14r2R3aGlkV5TkMFvCIYEiU-8xwpf8kc8GlenvJE1PnUm4bEDN/s1600/Benefits+of+BIM+Enabled+Model.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A Building Information Model is quantified using intuitive BIM software tools. Tools like Autodesk Navisworks contain a quantification workbook that can be used to create and keep a log of quantities within a model.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Experts can breakdown structures and hence a macro and micro view of total item collection quantities and a detailed data view of individual elements both can be availed.</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>BIM Enabled Model Based Approach v/s Conventional Paper Based Quantification</b></span></u> <br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The conventional paper based methods are boring, long and tedious. And yet there is no guarantee of accuracy. If there are any changes across the project, then reflecting them in your paper documentation becomes all the more frustrating, time consuming and is prone to a lot of errors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Whereas with the model based approach, management of changes becomes very easy and effective. Using BIM software, it is also extremely easy to manage the reporting of quantities by exporting the details into Microsoft excel. The details can be exported and handled at various levels of abstractions and hence managed well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As against the time consuming 2D documentation and the error prone manual counting of project elements and components in a traditional quantification method, the BIM 3D modeling based approach allows accurate collection of quantities and enables improved workflows.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It also allows detailed understanding of project quantities and schedules right during the early project planning stages hence results in improved cost estimation and execution of a construction project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another <a href="http://www.hitechcaddservices.com/bim/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">benefit of using 3D BIM Services</a> is that the quantified elements can be viewed intuitively with color coding and by setting transparencies. It is easy to identify changes in a 3D CAD model and experts can easily analyze whether these changes can be incorporated or rejected to perform a quantity take off process for new updated elements a-fresh.</span></div>
