Experience the true potential of BIM 360 onsite & offsite

Image
BIM 360 uses the true power of BIM processes & construction technology to act, anticipate, optimize, and manage various aspects of project performance. For individuals who don’t embrace the world of change, it would take them months of drawing fixes, change orders, delayed costs, and penalty. Using construction management software or applications construction managers and project stakeholders make informed decisions based on streamlined people, information, and workflows. All the trades or disciplines work on an integrated 3D model. The adoption of BIM 360 improves project delivery at levels of the project lifecycle viz. collaboration, review, documentation, preconstruction, operations, maintenance, and more. There are various versions of the BIM 360 software viz. BIM 360 Design, BIM 360 Layout, BIM 360 Build, etc. BIM 360 Design – leverage real-time project collaboration & information management across various lifecycles BIM 360 Do cs – streamlines doc...

TOP BENEFITS OF BIM FOR ARCHITECTS

Image
BIM has shown how architects can design modern architecture. The benefits or opportunities are visible for every team member who is involved in the design phase. Within this blog, we will see the benefits or opportunities of using BIM for architects. Quicker turnaround times with 3D models or rendering Construction has become more advanced than ever. It has given architects or architecture the potential to create 3D models at highly reduced timescales. Architects do not have to rely on 2D lines, they can leverage the potential and opportunities of Building Information Modeling (BIM) using real-world 3D objects like walls, doors, etc. that create sections, elevation, and a major part of your design process. When a door is placed in 3D, you place an element that appears in sections with accurate elevations and views with pre-defined parameters. This saves on time and budget for clients as 3D models are built quickly. Design retention makes it easier for stakeholders ...

TOP 5 REASONS TO INCLUDE REALITY CAPTURE IN YOUR CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY STACK

Image
For AEC professionals, Building Information Modeling is a need of the hour. As we move forward towards a huge population explosion, and thousands of buildings being required to be built by the year 2050, it is imperative that we use BIM as a compulsory platform to build intelligently and efficiently to save on cost, time, space, energy, etc. BIM is mandatory in most of the countries on a global level, and the time isn’t far when governments of the remaining countries will consider turning to the same vision. BIM is extremely popular amongst AEC professionals , but the lack of manpower skillsets based on BIM is making it tougher to implement it. Now, BIM is isn’t based on a specific tool, software, or application. Since it is a process, users or enterprises can use any software or authoring tool to build 3D models. But Revit has made it easier for modelers, designers, and engineers to author 3D models, and export those models to secondary clash-detection software like Na...

The Engineering & Construction sector gets bigger by the day, while technology becomes smaller & more powerful

Image
The global technology landscape is changing faster than ever. Various trends are shaking the construction industry – as the population of the world increases by hundreds of thousands per day, it is imperative that owners and AEC firms embrace new processes and technology onsite to build affordable housing, infrastructure, facilities, transportation, etc. This transformation will have transformative effects on a global level: reducing construction costs, eliminating onsite waste, mitigate rework, build projects on time, improving the use of limited materials by making the process environmentally efficient, & boosting economic growth. While a major part of the AEC sector has accepted BIM processes and its technology over the past decade, there is a pressing need to bring modern construction technology out in the field, and adopt it. The construction industry has great potential in terms of increasing building efficiency, productivity, and sustainability through innovati...

How do you apply Earned Value Management Successfully?

Image
When should Earned Value Management be applied in a construction project? The most accurate answer is: every construction project Every construction project considers two key concepts in Earned Value Management viz. ·          Measurable work improvement ·          Build a performance measurement baseline or PMB to track and evaluate the performance Listed below are some benefits of Earned Value Management ·          Easy to adapt and understand ·          Simplifies construction project management ·          Highly scalable ·          Can be applied at various levels viz. program, project, and portfolio ·          Helps project managers make informed decisions based on an accurate...
