3 Ways BIM Modeling Services Can Be Useful

Summary: Building Information Modeling is a comparatively new concept in construction and facility management that has enormous possibilities. The post enumerates the benefits it offers to the building industry.

The AEC Associates BIM Modeling services offer a system that is more efficient and less error prone than all the existing construction management systems. While computer aided design software improved the working of the building professionals and gave them unprecedented freedom and flexibility, BIM Modeling services promise to provide even more opportunities to be more accurate, more efficient, and more clients friendly.

BIM can be more useful for the building professionals as it offers a more complete overview of the whole building process. It’s a shared information resource for information about a structure that forms a reliable basis for decision making during its entire life-cycle right from the earliest design concept to the demolition stage.

Extending the scope:

Computer 3D software facilitates visualizing in three dimensions, viz width, height and depth, instead of the traditional way of working in two dimensions; BIM building services extend the scope even further to five dimensions now, time and cost being the added dimensions. This enables the designers to prepare accurate cost estimations and time schedules.

Realistic drawings:

BIM design tools facilitate production of accurate drawings by allowing the designers to extract different views from a building model. Since the views are based on a single definition of each object instance and are always consistent, these drawings give a very realistic and correct idea of the final product. BIM saves a lot of time and energy by making the whole design and drafting process very simple and smooth. It defines objects as parameters and relations to other objects, therefore, if any object is altered, the dependent objects are automatically altered too.

Easier management:

Attributes can be allocated to each model component, so it’s easy to select and order them automatically. Providing cost estimations and the tasks of material tracking and ordering also become simpler and more efficient.

Building Information Modeling is a complex process, but it makes life easier for all the stake holders including the owners of the buildings. BIM Modeling services minimize the information losses and help

the designers and owners/ operators take the right decisions based on the availability of the right information.
