WHAT IS BIM?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is revolutionizing the construction industry by changing the way buildings are designed, built, and maintained. This quick guide provides insight into what #BIM is, how it works, and why it is important to manufacturers and designers alike. THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION IS IN THE MAKING BIM began more than a decade ago, and today there are millions of active BIM users around the world. But what led to the upgrade of traditional drawings to BIM technology? In the 1980s, construction design moved from manual drafting to computer-aided design — CAD. The popularization of computers made it easier to manage drawings and improved the visualization process. However, these drawings were still predominantly visual representations, making it difficult to collaborate and share information about the construction project. BIM technology solved this problem and began the information age in the construction industry. BIM IN CONSTRUCTION BIM technology tools are used to cr...

WHAT IS MEP COORDINATION? WITHOUT FURTHER ADO AND TO THE POINT

  Introduction to MEP Coordination In the realm of modern construction, MEP coordination plays a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems within building designs. According to various analyses, on average, MEP costs can reach up to 40% of the total budget. It is crucial to treat this part of the project with special attention. This article explores the significance of MEP coordination, particularly within the context of Building Information Modeling (BIM), and delves into its various aspects, benefits, and approaches.   What is Building Design? Building design encompasses the process of conceptualizing, planning, and creating structures that fulfill specific functional and aesthetic requirements. It involves various disciplines, including architecture, structural engineering, and building services engineering (MEPF - Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection).   Phases of Building Design The...

UNLOCKING EFFICIENCY AND ACCURACY: UNDERSTANDING SCAN TO BIM

Image
  Technological advancements continue to reshape traditional approaches in the dynamic landscape of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. One such innovation that has taken a jump forward in the industry is Scan to BIM, a transformative process that merges cutting-edge 3D laser scanning technology with the principles of  Building Information Modeling (BIM) . Let's delve into what Scan to BIM entails, how it operates, its diverse applications, and the variety of benefits it offers. What is Scan to BIM?   Scan to BIM represents a meticulous process aimed at digitally replicating existing structures or environments with remarkable precision and detail. It involves the seamless integration of data obtained through 3D laser scanning technology into a comprehensive BIM model. This fusion facilitates the creation of accurate digital representations of real-world structures, enabling stakeholders to visualize, analyze, and modify them with unparalleled eff...

MODELING ENGINEERING SYSTEMS ON POINT CLOUD

Image
  Previously in our articles, we described what a Point Cloud is, and  how to work with a Point Cloud in Revit . In this article, we shall talk about how to model MEP systems on Point Cloud in Revit. We won’t talk about modeling tools, as you already know them. Specialists of  BIMPROVE  company have a lot of experience and will share it with you and tell you about the features of Point Cloud modeling. Let’s start with the fact that MEP systems have a big and important meaning in any facility. They will cover a wide spectrum of directions, like electricity, pipes, air ducts, and others. And each has its details, and nuances, and requires special attention and experience. But, unlike modeling on drawings, the modeling on Point Cloud could be smoother. In most situations, sagging and lopsided pipes and other elements will lose their characteristics over time, creating difficulties in modeling on Point Cloud. Types of engineering systems Before we move forward to the gen...

What is LOD (Level of Detail) in BIM?

Image
  A complete description of the Levels of Detail of BIM in AEC.   BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology is used by more and more companies in the construction industry around the world. Its advantages are undeniable. But for its effective implementation and application, it is necessary to understand the main aspects. One of the standards that can be always heard when implementing a BIM project is LOD. This is what we want to talk about today. What it is, what are the levels of detail, and why do you need to be well-versed in them? LOD (Level of Detail) is a standard that defines the 3D geometry requirements that must be achieved. But, in addition to 3D visualization, this also includes filling each element with information. This is one of the foundations of BIM, and anyone related to the project must have the opportunity to obtain the necessary information about any element.    Advantages of LOD   This standard facilitates communication between AEC indu...
