BIM Modeling Services - Virtual Building Studio Inc

 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...

It provides a streamlined workflow and facilitates proper coordination amongst the project team members. The Level of Development in BIM further simplifies the working process through various levels and results in an execution rooted in standards. Origin of Level of Development (LOD) Level of Development (LOD) was first introduced in 2008 by the American Institute of Architects(AIA); the concept was already in use. It defined the five different levels of development to elaborate the stages of detailing in BIM. Vico Software  — a construction analysis software company, first used a system similar to LOD, associating the digital models with the project cost. All the parameters and details related to the digital model were made accessible to everyone by the company at different stages of the design process. What is the Level of development (LOD)? Level of Development (LOD) is a set of standards devised for Architectural, Engineering and Construction professionals. It provides the evol...

  The goal of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is to achieve collaboration and coordination in the implementation of design and various other elements of any construction project. Whenever designs from different disciplines are joined together on a common platform, many hard and soft clashes and workflow clashes occur. www.virtualbuildingstudio.com BIM efficiently helps contractors and construction engineers in detecting these clashes, by considering the constructability or operations of the building. What is Clash Detection Clash Detection is a part of the  Building Information Modeling   (BIM) process wherein experts like contractors, sub-contractors, architects, project workers, sub-workers, and so on, can distinguish the conflicts in the construction cycle early on, and resolve them when still within the structural design discipline. For this, a 3D BIM Model proves to be of great help settling conflicts in no time through a computerized approach so that there could...
