BIM Modeling

Acurabim is the leading Outsourcing Structural Engineering Services provider company across the globe. The best and the viable reason to opt for outsourcing the engineering services is that the engineers would be working on the entire project i.e from its start to the end. Moreover, our clients will be rest assured that they will get the work that is 100% result-oriented and as per their expectations. With the team of Acurabim, we provide numerous services that are indeed part of structural engineering services. Some of them are structural design and drafting, structural fabrication drawings, structural steel detailing, structural shop drawings, structural finite element analysis, and modeling, etc.

Architectural Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building. It involves creating a 3D model that integrates various aspects of the building’s design, construction, and operation, including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. BIM enhances collaboration and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Improved Collaboration: BIM fosters collaboration by allowing different teams (architects, engineers, contractors) to work on the same model simultaneously. Changes made by one team are automatically reflected for others to see in real-time.
  • Increased Efficiency: By visualizing the entire project in 3D, BIM helps identify design issues early, minimizing errors and rework during construction.
  • Better Design Accuracy: BIM integrates precise data, ensuring that design details, measurements, and specifications are consistent and accurate.
  • Clash Detection: BIM helps detect clashes between architectural, structural, and MEP systems early, preventing conflicts during construction and reducing costly delays.
  • Cost Estimation and Resource Management: BIM models allow for accurate cost estimation, material tracking, and resource planning, helping manage budgets effectively.
  • Lifecycle Management: BIM data can be used for building operations, including facility management and future renovations or expansions.

During construction, BIM provides:

  • Detailed Construction Documentation: Accurate and up-to-date construction documents derived from the BIM model guide the contractor’s work.
  • Scheduling (4D BIM): By linking the BIM model to a project schedule, construction sequences can be visualized, helping to plan and track progress.
  • Material Takeoff and Cost Estimation (5D BIM): BIM models can automatically generate material quantities and provide cost estimates, which help streamline procurement and control expenses.
  • Construction Coordination: BIM ensures that all team members have access to the latest project information, reducing the risk of miscommunication.

Several software platforms are commonly used for architectural BIM modeling:

  • Revit: The most widely used BIM software for architectural design, offering tools for building design, MEP, and structural engineering.
  • ArchiCAD: A BIM software that is user-friendly and widely used for architectural modeling and design.
  • Navisworks: Primarily used for project review, coordination, and clash detection, often integrated with Revit.
  • SketchUp: While not a full-fledged BIM software, SketchUp is often used in the early stages for conceptual design, which can be imported into BIM software.
  • AutoCAD Architecture: A version of AutoCAD with additional features for architectural design and BIM integration.
  • Tekla Structures: Used for structural modeling and detailed BIM design, particularly for large-scale construction projects.

BIM improves collaboration by providing a shared platform where all teams (architects, engineers, contractors) can access and update the project model in real-time. This collaborative environment allows:

  • Shared Data: All team members work from the same data, reducing the chances of discrepancies between different documents.
  • Real-Time Updates: Any changes made by one team are immediately reflected in the model, ensuring that everyone is working with the most current information.
  • Coordination: BIM allows different disciplines to visualize how their designs will interact with others, enabling easier conflict detection and resolution.

The cost of BIM modeling varies depending on project size, complexity, and the software used. Simple residential or small-scale projects may cost less, while large, multi-disciplinary projects can be more expensive. Factors such as the level of detail, the need for additional services (like clash detection, scheduling, or cost estimation), and the expertise of the BIM team all influence the price.
