Building Information Modeling

India is transforming. It stands on the cusp of significant change: a change that will lead to unprecedented financial development with radical improvements. India is among the fastest developing economies of the world. India’s hyper-growth has led to an optimistic population with needs that have extended the resources of the nation to its limit. The largest of these needs to be fixed is infrastructure. Most agree that bridging India’s infrastructure gap can be the catalyst for a massive economic and development leap.  The construction industry not only drives substantial economic potential but is also a huge part of that economy. It is also among the most significant employment providers. However, over the years, some difficulties have limited the growth and development prospects of the construction industry in India. I’ve already made the point that physical infrastructure directly affects the growth and overall development of an economy. It’s clear therefore that the...

The construction industry is poised on the cusp of a critical paradigm shift. Some great advancement has taken place over time. Technology is powering better plans of action. The traditional ways are being improved with a new set of principles that hope to encourage the value of digital processes while embracing changes in disruptive technologies. As engineers and contractors unite to discover new and better methods of collaborating and delivering projects, the capability of BIM processes is now acknowledged to deliver better project performance through more streamlined methods. The ability to capture, design, and simulate various infrastructure resources is progressing and providing new levels of visualization. Building Information Modelling (BIM)  is now an accepted method, supported by technology, to collaborate better and share data across the lifecycle of a construction project. It has also, for long, been a catalyst for a change in the way we manage, design a...
