BIM is an acronym. It stands for Building Information Modeling. This is a modern approach to architectural and engineering design where 3D model structures are utilized to achieve efficient constructions and infrastructure. These services are divided into so many categories that work as a unit to achieve a modern based infrastructure. The different categories include:
Bill of Quantities and Materials
This is a document developed by surveying and estimation departments that Itemize all the materials, supply, labor parts and works needed to construct and maintain a specific structure. The main objective of the document is it enables pricing of a construction site according to standard systems.
Site modeling and Construction Drawing
Site modeling in construction is achieved through Revit software. It’s a BIM application where landscape architects develop a three-dimensional model of the location of the building to be constructed. It achieves the integration of site and building model into a single unit model. Construction drawing entails a SketchUp of a technical drawing in an architecture of how a finished construction is expected to be.
This is a three-dimensional model-based design. It is majorly used for cross-checking purpose. The three-dimension principle of coordination modeling is virtually carried out through cross-checking of the various phases during construction. It can be before and after construction.
Revit modeling and Parametric Architectural Revit
This is the application of software in design management. Revit is software used by structural engineers to construct, dimension and create various models for constructing a modern infrastructure. Parametric in design refers to the simple relationship between the dimensions and properties of a model that is developed by the Revit software.
Scheduling, Phasing and Cost estimation
This is important in the construction of infrastructure. It entails estimates and thorough planning. Scheduling and phasing require a team of experts to establish and come up with a workable plan for an efficient structure. The cost estimation is done majorly for effective utilization and management of available resources.
