Exploring : LOD and Project Scope in Scan to BIM

Image
  The rapid evolution of the AEC sector has witnessed various technological developments, accelerating the design and construction process for AEC professionals.   Building Information Modeling   (BIM) is one such process that involves digital representation of a built form, leading to accurate and seamless results on-site. As much as it simplifies the designing and construction work, it brings unique challenges to the table with unstructured data and processes that result in cost and time overruns. A clear understanding of how much detail and what geometry level is required significantly impacts the process, saving time and costs. In the realm of  Scan to BIM   projects, there’s often a common misconception that Level of Detail (LOD) and Project Scope are one and the same. Case Study :  CAD to BIM Conversion for a Commercial Project What is the Level of Development (LOD) in Scan to BIM? Level of development is a set of standards that defines the different ...

Implementing MEP Plans in Building and Industrial Projects

Image
  As rightly said   “It is the sum of the parts that make up the whole,”   every process is an amalgamation of several steps and actions. Similarly, building designing is also a concoction of multiple procedures and drawings coming together to make a whole. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing or MEP Plans are a significant part of this complex building design process. AEC professionals employ  BIM modeling services  to develop seamless 3D building models with explicit information that simplifies the design communication and execution processes. What are MEP Plans? MEP Plans elucidate the installation and operational details of the building, including positioning, layout, and materials of HVAC ductwork, piping, fire control, and conduits. These systems are engineered to create a habitable space that is appropriate for use and occupancy.

Importance of MEP Shop Drawings for Construction Project Success

Image
  The building design and construction process is an amalgamation of various complex systems and processes for its successful and satisfactory completion. MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems are one of these systems that play a critical role in a building’s functionality. MEP shop drawings are a stepping stone for the successful installation of MEP systems, making  Shop Drawing services  a significant part of the whole process. These services ensure the availability of detailed information about the fabrication and installation of MEP systems with the stakeholders during all stages. Shop drawing services facilitate a seamless fabrication, assembly, installation, and maintenance of the MEP system of the built form. The 2021 industry study suggests a surge in the MEP market at a compound growth rate of  16% between 2020–2024 . MEP components are crucial for every project, irrespective of the project type and design, forming the backbone of the constructi...
