Eurosia MEP project - technical room for a nursing home in France
Eurosia's MEP team has recently completed a very exciting project for a French MEP installer in France. Eurosia recently worked on a technical room for a nursing home in France. The client, Engie Axima, asked Eurosia to model in Revit the entire technical room for the ventilation and plumbing systems. We received as inputs: - Equipment technical datasheet - 2D implantation of the technical room - the Architecture 3D model in Revit - the plumbing and ventilation schematics Fro
Eurosia will be at BIM World 2017 in Paris (booth 213)
Our team is thrilled to be exhibiting our BIM modelling capabilities at the BIM World Paris 2017 on March 29 & 30. In 2016, this trade show gathered more than 4,600 visitors and 120 exhibitors focused on the BIM (r)evolution! To know more about this year's program and exhibitors, visit the BIM World 2017 website. Eurosia 3D model team will be very happy to welcome you at their booth 213! Should you want to learn more about BIM model's benefits or get your BIM project price in
Tackling North America’s Largest Healthcare Project in Seven Steps
This article is about the $1.5 billion University of Montreal Health Centre BIM project. This is a good study case on how to innovate and manage such a complex project as well as learn the best practices. Montreal is in the midst of a healthcare building boom. Last year saw the opening of the city’s first mega-hospital, the 2 million-square-foot McGill University Health Centre. This year, an even larger project will be substantially complete. The $1.5 billion, 3.6 million-squ
What’s the Plan for BIM on your BIM Project
What does it really mean, BIM? Unfortunately, BIM is not implemented very well at all on projects. For whatever reason, stakeholders fail to properly plan BIM projects they procure. BIM is a process! And, like any process, it requires a well thought out plan in order to be successful. Just think, would you go on a vacation without thinking of why you were going, where you were going, when you were going to go, what you were going to do, who was going to do what, and how you w
Why 3D CAD Models of a Building are translated to 2D drawings
This article explains how a 3D model can make it easier for people to conceptualize and visualize the project being completed. However, 2D drawings are still needed. Read this article to understand why. Though the approach to building design has evolved tremendously, it still starts with a rough paper sketch. Immediately after that the design starts transforming into a 3D model. It is a lot more convenient and quick to visualize new designs in a 3D environment. For architectu
Delivering New Royal Adelaide Hospital with BIM
This video and article, from the forum THE B1M, present Adelaide's BIM project for a new hospital. This project encompasses an initial 3D model, the implementation of 4D, 5D and maintenance aspects. Adelaide’s new hospital is pretty big… and its use of building information modelling (BIM) makes it one of the southern hemispheres largest BIM case studies to date! Here we take a look at how BIM helped deliver the project from design and construction through to operations and ma
The Process of BIM
This article presents how the construction industry has been driven by the BIM process and how Autodesk BIM 360's components can help actors in the AEC industry to design, plan and manage BIM projects. An analysis of Autodesk’s software suite, BIM 360, reveals how BIM can give project stakeholders unique access and insight across all phases of the AEC design process. Large modern buildings are permeated with sensors and systems - plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, ventil
BIM is quickly advancing for construction and survey
In this article, we see the importance of BIM for different actors. Surveyors (with 3D scanners) and general contractors (with effective coordination of MEP services) both see the value of BIM. Although it is a time-consuming process, BIM offers many opportunities: smartphone applications, 3D sensing tablets, robots and 3D printing to name a few. As long as humans have built environments, they have been surveying. And as the human imagination has spurred increasingly complex
What is Level of Development: LOD summary table
In the fast-developing BIM world in Europe, a number of professionals from the AEC industry hear about "Level of Development (LOD)" and wonder what each LOD level means. You will find below a table summarizing each LOD according to the AIA and the BIM forum (click the table to download the PDF). Hope it will help you! Your comments and suggestions are welcome in the comment box below! Should you want to learn more about BIM model's benefits or get your BIM project price insta
How building information modelling is changing the construction industry
This article initially published in Computer Weekly highlights the importance of information management and data exchange in order to make collaborative 3D BIM successful. The key to an effective implementation of BIM is to ensure that all parties are working from a common basis. The Cabinet Office says that by 2016, “collaborative 3D building information modelling will be required on all government projects” In 2011, the UK Cabinet Office published the Government Constructio
