Building Information Modeling

“To be careless in making decisions is to naively believe that a single decision impacts nothing more than that single decision, for a single decision can spawn a thousand others that were entirely unnecessary or it can bring peace to a thousand places we never knew existed.” ? Craig D. Lounsbrough, Flecks of Gold on a Path of Stone: Simple Truths for Life's Complex Journey Construction is an inevitably sequential process. One thing leads to another. Reversing a previous action is costly, time-consuming, and hard. On the other hand, a well-considered decision can set you on the path to successful project completion with the most optimized investment of effort and resources. So, how can we improve the chances of optimal decisions?     BIM or  Building information modeling  is already becoming a mainstay of the architecture, engineering, construction and operations industry. But with BIM, a carefully curated building information model can also be utilized for makin...

Construction projects have experienced considerable waste and inefficiency in the past. This has an impact on project completion timelines, project profitability, and even sustainability. AEC contractors specifically, and the construction industry in general, have chosen to adopt BIM to address these major challenges. The utilization of BIM in the AEC industry is on the upswing as architects, contractors, and engineers are adopting  Building Information Modeling (BIM)  in their projects. BIM is finding favour with them as it is an extremely practical and productive approach towards project design, development, and project management. BIM offers engineers and architects a platform to better design and deliver structures based on standards and other environmental restrictions. BIM provides not only better data but also effective quality as the segments and workflows are fully digitized. Effective inculcation of BIM enables an organization to set up an improved collaboratio...
