Time for contractors to get up-to-speed with BIM
It is important for contractors to know what BIM means, as they have a key role in the construction supply chain. However a research indicates that only one in six firms are "fully ready". This is why, actions have been taken to help contractors get up-to-speed with BIM. Increasing the understanding of the basics of BIM in the building services sector could enable a stronger supply chain, as Bill Wright, Head of Energy Solutions at the ECA outlines… Research from the ECA last
What makes a good Office BIM Manager
This articles explains what a good Office BIM manager is. The responsibilities and the role of a BIM manager are often unclear, but knowing exactly what a good BIM manager does and the advantages s/he brings is crucial. Many professional design firms and construction sub-contractors are being forced to become BIM authors, with the expectation they can manage and provide BIM deliverables. They have to use BIM software, which is only efficient if it is genuinely managed. If use
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
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
Building Information Modelling is like Teenage Sex
Building Information Modelling or BIM is like teenage sex - and big data: everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it... and even fewer do it right. So, what is BIM? First, BIM stands for several related but slightly different concepts: Building Information Management (the overall process), Building Information Modelling (the modelling process) or Building Information Model (the 3D digital image of the building). According to Wikipedia, BIM is "a process involvi
