A brief overview of architectural BIM services
The application of Building information management (BIM) can radically transform the ACS industry. Specifically, architectural BIM services can be used for generating a 3D model of the project and help to visualize the idea in 3-dimensional space. A 3-Dimensional BIM model also helps the different stakeholders to collaborate and see how their work fits into the entire project.
The following paragraphs give a brief overview of the architectural BIM services.
What are Architectural BIM Services?
Architectural BIM modeling service deals with the conversion of 2D input file formats into three-dimensional models. The inputs received can be in the form of- AutoCAD file, rough ideas, pdf files, paper sketches, images, scanned pictures. The out files are generated in the form of a .pdf file, 2D file, or 3D file.
In this respect, there are several different software that can be used for generating the coordinated BIM model. Selecting the ideal software can be the key differentiator between success and failure.
Some of the common architectural BIM services are-
3D Modeling
Under 3D BIM modeling services, three-dimensional models of the projects are created from 2D inputs. The level of detailing and scope of the generated 3D model is as per the client specification. Along with helping the client to better visualize his or her idea in the 3-dimensional space; a 3D model also helps the client to have an idea about the space arrangements between connection and components.
Clash Coordination
Under the ambit of architectural clash coordination services, it is ensured that there are no clashes between the architectural model and the model of other trades. Clashes if any are resolved in the design phase. This leads to faster construction and lesser conflicts in the construction phase.
Quantity Takeoff
Based on the created 3D model, cut and fill specifications are provided. This helps the contractors in devising a proper project plan and thus ensures faster project execution at a minimal cost.
The stupendous benefits offered by architectural BIM services are listed below-
1.The application of BIM helps the architects visualize their designs in the 3D environment. Thus, they can analyze different design concepts to see how they would appear when constructed.
2.By offering realistic 3D models to architects, engineers, designers, etc., changes if any can be visualized and incorporated in the design phase. This helps in reducing construction time and cost.
3.Further, BIM can be used to offer sustainable construction and reduce construction waste drastically.
4.4D model of the construction project can help to keep track of the project progress and avoid time and cost overrun.
The writing on the world is clear. The ACS industry is headed for a revolution and in all probability, this revolution is going to be powered by BIM. So, the players in the industry have no option but to adopt BIM to survive or dominate the industry in near future.
