Implementation of BIM in construction industry – A brief analysis by Alan Lamont

In this video tutorial, Alan Lamont, Vice President, Digital Advancement Academies, Bentley Systems, provides good information on implementation of BIM in construction industry.

BIM implementation is gaining popularity among construction sectors since more and more decision-makers get the ability to recognize how by virtually prototyping the building under construction, they can evaluate the design more efficiently, attain more precision in construction as well as evaluate alternatives in respect of cost and other parameters.

With BIM, it is possible to utilize the resources and optimize the workflows and as a result the productivity and profitability are increased.

But there are some barriers for which BIM is not adopted full fledgedly in all construction projects.

The barriers comprise of five major factors ranging from intricacy in changing people’s habits, restricted applicability, interoperability issues, restricted budgets and slack in various operating standards.

To get more detail information, go through the following video tutorial.

How to model a house with BricsCAD BIM

This CAD video is based on the new features of BricsCAD BIM and these are implemented for creating the model of a fitness building containing lofted roofs.

The source files can be downloaded from http:/www.bricsys.tv/attach/230/2start.z¬ip.

BricsCAD® is the robust CAD software platform that integrates the customary feature set of native dwg through sophisticated 2D tools and intelligent 3D direct modeling on Windows and Linux. BricsCAD BIM is the first BIM system for Linux users, and the first .dwg-based BIM system for Mac users.

The architects can attain the excellence through BIM with the partnership of Autodesk Seek and MetalTech-USA

MetalTech-USA, the most recognized distributor & specialty fabricator of ecological architectural metals, is making a tie-up with Autodesk Seek in generating Revit models. The BIM files produced in Revit, include together visual and numerical descriptions of their physical counterparts which will be utilized as digital components in building simulations.

With this partnership, the users can download MetalTech’s adaptive roofing and façade components as well as choose from the most wanted MetalTech-USA EcoChoice™ material. Metal finishing capabilities like standard Prisma™ patterns and customizable PixArt™ functionality are also demonstrated for design stimulation.

By applying BIM, the AEC professionals get the ability to develop drawings having property information on each element inside the building. This ground-breaking feature will minimize costs to a great extent by empowering the user to produce and evaluate design choices in the early stage of the design process. Seek contains insightful product search functionalities directly inside Revit for simple amalgamation of MetalTech-USA’s products into the user’s project.

There are more than 66,000 manufacturer-specific products inside the seek library. The users can apply MetalTech-USA’s objects to ensure that their designs are created on the basis of manufacturer information as well as these objects are fully revamped to be utilized in Revit. Each Revit file placed to Seek goes through a thorough, 36-point QA progression that provides Seek Quality Icons to denote the level of quality restrained in the file.

The unique Revit models can be formed with MetalTech-USA and their exclusive series of products maintaining both their product’s form and function. These models will function superiorly inside a project as well as move the boundaries of design forward. BIM is a process which will expand significantly in near future. It’s a discipline that all existing and potential architects should be well versed and by integrating BIM systems with MetalTech-USA, the creative design ideas for both present and future architects will be enhanced.

The Users can easily avail all BIM files, product information and supporting documentation via the Seek Library at autodesk.seek.com as well as from the SmartBuilding Index on reedconstructiondata.com or directly from the website www.metaltech-usa.com.

MetalTech-USA is a premier distributor and specialty fabricator of eco-friendly architectural metals that specializes in roofing, rainwater, soffit and cladding systems. For more information, visit www.metaltech-usa.com, or call 770-486-8825.
