Construction has always been an incredibly complex industry, with innumerable moving parts, elements, and people working on the same project all at the same time. It’s only natural that at some point there may be issues due to that sheer complexity. Modern construction projects often involve multiple stakeholders and tradespeople like investors, architects, structural engineers, [...]
Building information modeling, more commonly called BIM, has been nothing short of a revolution in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields. BIM has cut costs, increased project speed at all stages, and improved safety across the board. In today’s blog we’ll be going over a few of the most important ways that BIM has changed [...]
One of the most common concerns of AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) professionals that are considering introducing BIM (building information modeling) techniques into their projects is the cost of acquiring licenses to and training employees on new software. Luckily for users, there is a wide variety of software and tools available online that require no [...]
Whether it’s for keeping cool, staying warm, or just getting some fresh air, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is an essential part to keeping any building feeling comfortable. Building information modeling, or BIM, is one of the most promising new developments in the AEC (architecture, construction, and engineering) fields today and the benefits of [...]
Construction is perhaps infamously one of the most dangerous occupations in today’s working world, but building information modeling, or BIM, can be a great asset in reducing the risk for everyone involved. Information from the National Institutes of Health estimates that nonfatal and fatal injuries in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries make up 15% of [...]
The fields of construction, architecture, and engineering are constantly improving due to advances in technology, tools, or techniques, and building information modeling, or “BIM” is one of today’s most promising new techniques. In today’s blog we’ll be discussing how BIM can affect more specific areas of these industries, with a focus on plumbing. Interested in [...]
Construction projects around the world have been, and are continually being revolutionized by the techniques of Building Information Management, or BIM. The benefits of BIM in the realms of architecture, engineering, and construction are multifaceted, from improvements in speed and efficiency to reducing materials wasted and increasing safety. These benefits offer a strong argument to [...]
Building Information Management, or BIM, is a relatively new concept in the world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), so it’s understandable that there are many common misconceptions about what BIM is. In today’s blog, we’ll be going over what we think are the myths that are most prevalent about BIM, and explaining what about [...]
As Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is adopted by more and more firms, the list of benefits seems to continue to pile up. BIM is most commonly discussed in the context of the AEC industry (architecture, engineering, and construction), but this technique has shown impressively far-reaching results that seem to go beyond the scope of [...]
Implementing Building Information Modeling, or BIM, into your construction firm’s workflow can improve efficiency, create a safer worksite, and can save you some serious money. Implementing BIM techniques isn’t just a one step process, though, and there are a number of common mistakes that people make when introducing BIM into their workflow. In today’s blog [...]
