BIM allows all AEC professionals i.e. contractors, sub-contractors, architects, engineers, designers and other project members to collaborate effectively for performing all the works related to the construction project.
BIM or building information modeling process basically allows architects, engineers, designers and other AEC professionals in developing effective 3D database in an efficient manner.
Building information modeling or BIM process assists contractors to make accurate construction task schedule, estimating costs, determining quantity takeoffs and calculation construction staff costs in an efficient manner.
Building Information Modeling or BIM is an smart 3D model based process that allows all AEC professionals in getting clear insight of the project design, workflow and plan. BIM is an up-coming technology in construction industry. As BIM offers a huge number of benefits to professionals, hence the rate of BIM implementation is increasing exponentially across the world AEC industry. BIM methodologies enable architects and contractors to generate 4D simulation video of the construction project and estimate costs at very early design stage.
Building Information Modeling technology has brought a revolutionary change in the building design and 3D modeling process. It also allows architects to create an effective 3D integrated model. BIM software assists professionals to perform 4D simulation, cost estimation, sustainability analysis and post-construction facility management in an efficient manner. A BIM coordination model is also used for identifying interferences among various engineering trades such as architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing.
In any construction project, architects play a very crucial role from the starting of the project till the end of the project. Architects are mainly involved in preparing building design, planning and CAD drawing. Architects also develop 3D model of the designed building and visualize the building comprehensively.
