Building Information Modeling (BIM)

  Smile like beautiful sunshine😇. I realized that To accelerate our journey in the AEC Industry (BIM era) Software/Tools are very important. I started working on CAD MEP, Revit & NavisWorks(of course there are many but for now). In fact, to get hands-on experience and to add our creativity/value, it requires a lot more practice, to practice needs time. This time, I decided to focus on the basics/fundamentals behind BIM and how it evolved through these software/tools. There is no technology which is developed overnight, everything developed over a period of time.  Everything started with fundamental knowledge and tools only. The basic idea of BIM started long back in 1975(surprise). The definition of BIM has been changing with time and industry use cases. In every definition, we can find some particular keywords. We are able to talk theoretically, and easily about BIM, applications and advantages in the industry. But I realized  and tried to know about its Basics...

  Introduction The global construction industry and its market has been increasing and acting as an important factor in development by creating investment and opportunities. An industry consists of the Real estate as well as the Urban development segment and it has many sub-segments too. The construction industry is … The second-largest employer in India in 2017 Second largest FDI recipient sector for India in 2020-21 Industry Scenario By 2025, the construction market in India is expected to emerge as the third-largest globally. By 2025, the construction output is expected to grow on average by 7.1% each year. The Construction Industry is expected to reach $1.4 Tn by 2025 (Source: NIPFA). The Construction Industry is expected to reach $1.4 Tn by 2025,  Successful projects are often defined and reflected as, projects which have realistic planning, scheduling, ultimately which are delivered within time and budget without compromising the design and quality standards. The introdu...

  Most people perceive BIM as a software or 3D modelling. If there is a discussion about BIM, most probable question is “what BIM software you know?”. And question is, “To buy, learn and implement the software, it costs so much, so why should we do that when work is being completed in normal way?”   At this exact situation, I make them to sit down and will start explaining as below. Trust me it is WAY more than that. In simple, it is a PROCESS in which we use different tools/software for different purposes.  (The below image describes the same). The same work every department is doing at present in their project will do same ever after implementing BIM, but the change is the place we work. Image Source: Catenda – makers of Bimsync The main objective of BIM is Co-ordination and Collaboration in a Common Data Environment (CDE). In other ways to understand better and clear, year by year construction projects are getting complex and huge in nature, have to play in a comp...

 No, Revit is not the only Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, but it is one of the most popular and widely used ones. BIM is a methodology that involves creating and using intelligent 3D models to inform and communicate project decisions. While Revit is a powerful BIM tool developed by Autodesk, there are other BIM software options available in the market. 🌐 BIM is Collaboration: Revit is a crucial part of the BIM ecosystem, but true BIM is about collaboration and data sharing across the entire project lifecycle. It's a holistic approach to information management.   🌐 Beyond 3D Modeling: BIM isn't just 3D modeling; it's about data-rich models that inform decision-making. It encompasses aspects like project management, cost estimation, and facility management.   🌐 Interoperability Matters: BIM thrives on interoperability. The ability of different software tools to communicate seamlessly is what empowers a BIM project. It's about breaking down s...

  We are witnessing the progress of Building Information Modeling (BIM) not only in the AECO industry but also in many industries, and sectors (Public + Private ) BIM is becoming a buzzword and slowly the implementation rate is increasing day by day. BIM scope is extensive in present and as well as in future. Many countries already turned towards BIM and many governments and private organizations made BIM adoption and implementation mandatory for projects. Many countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, China, the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, etc.), France, South Korea, etc have adopted BIM technology at public level projects. Let’s try to learn about LOD in BIM here. Read my previous articles – The Evolution Of Building Information Modeling (BIM) What is BIM, Not BIM, BIM software and What are they? Think, Talk and Act – BIM LOD in BIM So, What do you think about LOD in BIM, here we are particularly talking about LOD in BIM on...
