Benefits Of BIM Modelling

The term BIM Modelling has been universally accepted from building services, architectural fraternity, structural engineering because of its need of lean construction process and also because of it’s inter disciplinary usability. 3D BIM model process has been in existence since past various years and the industry has been aggressively adapting for embracing the latest workflow of this process. However, still some clarity is needed amongst the clients or the property owners regarding what they are looking to achieve from such models, what needs to be achieved and how this concept can be used to the maximum. 

Here are some of the beliefs regarding the usage of BIM and throws light on where and when it needs to be used and up to what extent. For clarity’s sake, it’s very important to understand the main difference between the non BIM models as well as parametric models. 

What is a 3D CAD MODEL?

The 3D CAD model is a virtual representation of the facility which offers just visual details. The applications like AutoCAD architecture as well as Auto CAD MEP are mainly used for creating 3D CAD models which may be used to design, develop, construct and pre-fabricate. On the contrary, the BIM models are smart models which are embedded with the parametric details which are very important for the purpose of development, design, pre-fabrication, construction, assembly, analysis of the performance of energy as well as facility management of the environment which is built. For the BIM models, the details may be shared effectively between the stakeholders of the project i.e. architects, facility owners, engineers, consultants, fabricators, contractors, etc.
