Mistakes to Avoid in AEC Outsourcing: Solutions & Alternatives

Image
In the competitive landscape of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry, firms are racing toward finding ways to enhance cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity for their projects. One such strategy that has gained traction is outsourcing. As per  research and market reports , the global market for outsourcing services is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate(CAGR) of 5.54% during the forecast period 2020–2027, leading to a total market size of US$904.948 billion by 2027. Why AEC Firms Often Dislike Outsourcing: Key Reasons Explained Absence of Direct Oversight: Outsourcing Projects and tasks might cause difficulty in maintaining the same level of quality control as the office team. It is concerning for the AEC firms that the outsourced team might not adhere to the elucidated specifications and quality standards specified by the clients. Inconsistent Standards and Guidelines: The standards and guidelines vary for different firms for various p...

Collaboration between BIM and Lean Construction

Image
  Lean construction is a new philosophy that has recently garnered a lot of attention from the AEC industry. Although this managerial philosophy emerged in the automobile industry, it has been spreading like wildfire all across. The objective of lean construction is to improve predictability in construction projects. The idea is to identify and eliminate waste, improve productivity, reduce costs, and the overall time of the project, resulting in more efficient and safer outputs. We, at the Virtual Building Studio, provide  BIM Modeling Services  to our clients through detailed engineering and quality control using our ample expertise ranging from design to on-site installation. Our experts help clients in identifying and eliminating high-cost areas by re-designing MEPF services and resolving constructability issues. Our team has been consistently working towards ensuring on-time project delivery and quality outputs. We have successfully handled a wide range of BIM project...

How are BIM Objects Used in the Construction Industry?

Image
 It does not come as a surprise that BIM is all set to take over the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry shortly. It has revolutionized the construction industry in ways never thought of before. www.virtualbuildingstudio.com BIM technology helps architects, contractors, and engineers visualize their designs in a simulated environment. It enables a seamless flow of information among stakeholders, and all of the information is made instantly accessible to all the people involved, which makes it easier for them to provide inputs and work out conflicts if any. It becomes critical to feed in the correct information, as gathered from each stakeholder, to create a useful BIM model that mimics the on-site conditions. This point is where BIM objects come into the picture. BIM objects are fundamental to a BIM model. They provide detailed information that represents the product and geometrical information that defines the product’s physical characteristics. Based on the...

Why are the Traditional Architectural Practices Dying?

  The crucial role of technology is to lead us towards more efficient & time saving methods which help achieve our goals faster. The illustration of the workflow is to show what architects will lose if they do not adopt BIM methods. www.virtualbuildingstudio.com Efficient Workflow vs. Typical Workflow The typical workflow varies a lot from one project to another and involves different software at different stages. Also, while transferring the information to another software, there is a high possibility of data manipulation or, in some cases, the possibility of the data being lost. Integrated Design Workflow using BIM Schematic Design (SD): Presentation, documentation and analysis of the workflow is performed using a single software, unlike the traditional methods, where you need different software for different workflows. The ability to explore various concepts in a faster and more efficient way through a 3D BIM model. These 3D models allow various concepts to accurately analyz...
