BIM SCHEDULING 4D BIM is the process of linking a 4D BIM Model with time or schedule related information, providing precise construction information for teams working on the project. By incorporating the start and finish dates into each BIM component, we are able to focus our attention on deploying lean construction techniques and optimising the … Read more
What is 4D Progress Monitoring? A 4D BIM model is an extended 3D BIM model with an additional feature, known as the time in the form of a schedule. A 3D BIM model with the attachment of time allows the team to carry out progress monitoring of the construction process during both design and actual … Read more
What is Clash Detection & Resolution? One of the key aspects of BIM Coordination is clash detection and resolution which involves identification, inspection, and reporting of interference clash in a BIM model during the design stage instead of on-site, during construction. Clash detection and resolution help reduce design errors virtually prior to construction, preventing any … Read more
What is BIM Coordination? BIM coordination is essentially the collaboration between three major disciplines which are Architecture, Structure & MEP. Focusing on areas of concern, disparity, and unevenness in the building design, BIM Coordination involves the coordination of the BIM models created by these disciplines to ensure the final outcome of the building is an … Read more
What is BIM Constructability Analysis? BIM-based constructability analysis is vital as it is used to review construction processes and methods during the design phase, which helps to identify potential obstacles and find ways to resolve any constructability issues that might occur during the course of the project. The team can review the entire project from … Read more
What is the Construction Documentation? Constructing a building is not an easy or simple task, but is a systematically coordinated procedure that includes various stages and the effort of several people from designers, architects, engineers, contractors and labourers to owners. That is why clear and detailed documentation of all the steps involved in the construction … Read more
What is CAD Drafting? Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Services are widely used in the AEC industry for the creation of 2D drawings or 3D models. Unlike a manual design and drafting process, CAD systems can maintain a database of building parts and construction-related knowledge and standards which also provides a far higher standard of precision and … Read more
What is CAD Digitization? In an ever-growing technological world, it is essential for companies to digitise their paper-based documents as it ensures the security of the undamaged documents for a long period of time. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) digitization is the process of converting existing physical documents such as mechanical drawings, civil drawings, structural drawings, architectural … Read more
Why do we convert BIM to CAD Drawings? It is common to convert Building Information Modelling (BIM) to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) during the construction phase of a project. There are many reasons as to why there is a need for BIM to CAD conversion. A BIM model is typically used for the purpose of visualisation … Read more
What is 2D Shop Drawing? Apart from drawings for building constructions, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software can also be used to generate shop drawings for prefabricated components like trusses, elevators, windows, cabinets, ductwork, plumbing, piping, HVAC, equipment which are produced by the contractor, supplier, manufacturer, fabricator or sub-contractors in the Architectural, Structural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical … Read more
