Now days Building Information Modeling or BIM has become a buzzword. It is almost impossible to open an architectural content and there is no reference of BIM. It has been proved to be extremely beneficial not only to the contractors but also to the building owners. BIM is the talk of the AEC town. It is the process of developing building models which is used in presenting and visualizing building components, construction sequences, resource allocation and other disciplines of construction process in a virtual environment.
The numerous advantages of BIM process makes it the most sought after tool in the AEC industry. Among the various other benefits of BIM, there are some key reasons which make it so popular. The most important reason is that it provides a good estimation during bidding and procurement. It also coordinates greatly in construction sequencing.
Another great advantage of BIM is to identify possible conflict. This is a great help to the contractor as any conflict in the structure can hamper the total project. Biggest advantage of using BIM is lesser amount of errors and hence rectifications which saves costs and resources of the contractor.
Another aspect of BIM behind its popularity is its capability to analysis the ‘what if’ condition. The construction sequencing option, shuffling of human resources, fine tuning cost factors are the important facet of the ‘what if’ analysis of BIM software. But the most important reason is that it gives both the creator and end users a chance to visualize the model virtually which gives a clear understanding of the end product. From the understanding the building owner can take informed decision about the proposed project. All these advantages along with some other make the BIM a most popular tool for the building construction industry.

Grpaphisoft launches powerful but affordable BIM tool, ArchiCAD
Renowned architectural software developer of Hungary, Graphisoft has release a low budget but powerful version of the primary Building Information Modeling or BIM software ArchiCAD. The Building Information Modeling or BIM is the talk of the AEC town now days. Concerning the BIM sector various hype and hoopla has been created now. Autodesk, Bently and Graphisoft have long been championing the benefits of using BIM to create intelligent models which can automatically produce coordinated project drawings.
But the present scenario is that this hype can not help much the AEC industry. The adaptation rate of BIM is quite slow still now. In the UK it is estimated that only 10 percent projects are completed using BIM technology against the conventional 2D technologies. The figure is far behind the total usage of BIM in America, where McGraw Hill Construction estimates 49 percent of practices use BIM tools.
ArchiCAD 14 continues to deliver productivity improvements for architects throughout the full cycle of BIM workflow with a specific focus on completing the integration of the architectural workflow with the engineering world. The professional architecture requires collaboration of all design disciplines. The architects play the fundamental role in coordinating all aspects of their design with other disciplines during the entire design process. ArchiCAD has turned the IFC technology into full fledged workflow solutions enabling collaboration with engineers regardless of their discipline or the name and version of the application they prefer working with. This "open" approach to interdisciplinary collaboration greatly broadens designers' options for real Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) resulting in faster delivered projects and significantly less coordination errors.

BIM is essential for Glazing Industry
The Glass and curtain wall industry incorporates building Information Modeling in to its trends to get a rapid and effective result in the project. The glazing system suppliers and contract glaziers will provide dedicated and knowledgeable BIM services and emerge as a highly valued specially contractor before 2015. The Glass Association of North America’s (GANA) Building Envelope Contractor’s (BEC) division is engaged for intriguing steps to train the industry ready for BIM.
Technical Glass products America is now applying various BIM technologiesfor creating models of its products and publishing. The firm has now modeled its full line of fire rated glazing products, framing systems, steel curtain wall, doors and windows including products, for instance, the Pilkington Profilit channel glass. Contract glazing firm ‘Trainor Glass Co.’ has also modeled several custom impact glass curtainwall systems successfully.
A large numbers of building products companies as well as curtain wall manufacturers, glass fabricators and component suppliers are creating their products in BIM and making BIM libraries for future application. This system will also provide assistance to building products companies for making their position better for getting architectural specification.
BIM will create a new collaborative IPD contracting form as this 3D modeling software will permit planners, designers, manufacturers, contractors, glazing subcontractors and owners to work from the similar object-related database.
With IPD and more design build, glass fabricators get the ability to inherit the design progression and support the BIM model as shop drawings. “Instead of the architects creating one set of models and the fabricators creating another set from that, they’re creating one set to meet both needs,” said EcoBuild America speaker Diane Davis.
Glass fabricators have the opportunity “to create virtual model catalogs, so their products work as little BIM sub-models that carry the manufacturers’ data, energy data and carbon footprint data,” Davis said. “These can be downloaded by architects and designers for their model.” “Fabricators should not create files for all the BIM programs as they did with CAD, but create their program with the IFC, or Industry Foundation Classes, an international open standard for BIM” she said.
“A standard glass manufacturer probably wouldn’t be interested in BIM, but would focus on green efforts and energy conservation” said EcoBuild America speaker Diane Davis, president, AEC Infosystems Inc., Baltimore. “Especially in today’s cap and trade scenario, if the glass manufacturers show the energy efficiency offset in the production of glass, it could become a green matrix within the industry and get connected with the green standards, like Energy Star and LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] credits. That’s where the manufacturer would be asked for his input, which in turn would become part of the BIM data.”
Besides creating 3D models the BIM process can provide many vital information which will be very useful for glazing system suppliers and contract glaziers - wind loads, wind tunnel tests, structural live load movement requirements, material finishes, glass type, interlayer type, allowable deflection on framing systems, light transmission, thermal information, curtain wall profiles, test criteria, drift and earthquake requirements, sound transmission, fabrication part numbers, installation schedules, and field inspection data.
BIM can be applied to store and evaluate field record of glass and curtain wall data in an instinctive model which facilitates easy and smooth cost analysis of the glass for the owners and that hyperlink to field report documents. This feature permits BIM models to work as a 3D Web page of a building that connects to documents, plans, sketches and photographs.
BIM provides sustainable design by creating greater energy efficiency including thermal and structural analyses. The Glazing contractors will get the benefits to develop more sophisticated curtain wall systems.
With BIM model the glazing contractors can fix up fabrication and fit-up issues virtually and resolve it before built physically. This will also lead to diminish the misuse in time, material, field labor and enhance trade coordination with on-site materials.
Pinnacle Infotech has expertise in designing, drafting & modeling the curtain wall and glazing system through state of the art BIM and CAD software. Pinnacle generates different kinds of shop drawing including Aluminum Cladding Shop Drawings, Glass Entrance Shop Drawings, Curtainwall Shop Drawings, Rain Screen Cladding Shop Drawings, Window Shop Drawings, All other Glazing Shop Drawings. Pinnacle also offers 3D modeling services for glass and aluminum glazing systems, curtain wall and window wall etc.

BIM(Building Information Modeling) provides great benefits to specialty contractors
Now-a-days the specialty contractors are adopting BIM process in all parts of construction project to collaborate on a project with owners and general contractors.
With BIM the specialty contractors provide digital takeoff to run the digital estimate and digital prints providing the estimator and project managers to proficiently carry out takeoffs and collaborate across the entire scope of the project.
The specialty contractors can easily tie the data from BIM models to other programs for estimating and scheduling to connect the entire construction lifecycle.
BIM reduces the time to perform recurring calculations for specialty contractors and thus enhance profit & reduce risks.
The specialty contractors are able to create schedules, plans, and a bill of materials for building components.
The specialty contractors can slice up the project into smaller working parts and pieces with just one set of working drawings in the trailer.
By applying BIM the specialty contractors facilitate efficient paradigms for buyouts and estimating through the process of procurement and buying the material
With BIM the specialty contractors get positive returns on investment (ROI) in the technology. BIM can also bring benefits to the specialty contractors with respect to spatial interferences, visualization of electrical design, space use, trade coordination, and shop drawings submittal and review.

How Building Information Modeling helps fabricators
BIM is a solid modeling tool that can be utilized for clash detection and volumetric quantity-takeoff. BIM trims down conflicts and creates value in fabrication by making the building plan accurate. Besides the fabricators get the ability to have the section view being produced automatically with the help of BIM software.
Perfect fabrication of materials diminishes waste while the pre-assembly can save time.
BIM facilitates digital fabrication of building components and thus enables digital design-to-fabrication workflows for all the building disciplines.
Fabricators can create their own models from paper drawing and produce a bill order within a very short period of time.
BIM can automate design and detailing tasks for fabrication work to a higher degree and it’s models stays rational, semantically accurate even as they are manipulated.
BIM contains all the geometry related with structural steel and enhances the structural steel fabrication procedure. The design information for structural steel can be exported to a CIS/2 file and reprocessed in a steel detailing application. BIM models provide support for parametric objects at all levels for structural steel connections.
BIM also takes into consideration discarded steel and keep documentation of the same. At the time of requirement, this discarded steel can be easily located and reused eliminating the need to order new sections from the fabricator.
After the completion of steel details, the design team or the contractor can utilize the fabrication model for 4D modeling in addition to clash detection with other building disciplines and models.
With BIM the Fabricators can share the design models for bidding and it leads to cut down the bid cycle with more uniform bids based on consistent steel tonnages.
BIM keeps the coordination between the fabricated steel and the other building components which will decrease the on-site issues and bring down the cost getting higher for steel erection.
