BIM 4D Solutions for Advanced Construction and Scheduling

BIM has emerged as an integral part of the construction industry and architectural engineering. BIM 4D offers focused solutions for advanced construction and scheduling and it enhances management of architectural projects. Implementation of BIM 4D services helps in detecting and resolving any kind of discrepancies between MEP, architectural and structural designs easily and quickly.

BIM technology allows accurate take offs and enables proper construction management by envisioning a construction process prior to the actual physical construction. Architects or designers can analyze the process, optimize it for sustainability, save resources, can perform better coordination and manage materials efficiently. Besides, it also saves time which is interestingly the fourth dimension of BIM 4D.

BIM is employed in different construction projects in varied sectors like post and pre tension structures, residential constructions, industrial plants, commercial facilities, infrastructural building and facilities, steel buildings and other miscellaneous structures.

Collaborative support for architectural, electrical, mechanical, MEP coordination and plumbing system construction management and scheduling is possible through BIM solutions.

BIM 4D enhances construction management through-

  • 4D Modeling
  • Quantity Take Offs and Accurate Information Extraction
  • MEP Services
  • Library Creation
  • Structural/ Architectural Services
  • Clash Detection and Risk Mitigation
  • Project Coordination
  • Construction Documentation

Debut of i-model plug-in for Revit

With the i-model plug-in for Revit the users will be able to save their Revit models in such a manner so that they can open the models in Bentley MicroStation, Bentley Navigator, and several other Bentley building products, keeping the Revit properties information intact within the Revit model.

The plug-in mostly useful for the project teams who are accustomed to work with a diverse Bentley/Revit surroundings and reference Revit models inside a MicroStation-supported design system used for coordination purposes, conflict recognition as well as the same types of activities.

How it performs:
By applying this plugin the project team members can save their Revit models to an i-model file inside the Revit application. The users have to perform this for one time and they don’t need MicroStation or any other Bentley application except the i-model plug-in for Revit.

The i-model is compatible with Bentley Navigator and can be applied for redlining, conflict detection, and further federated information workflows. The plug-in is well matched with the 2008-2012 versions of the Revit products along with Architecture, MEP, and Structure, and provides support for the 64-bit versions.

The i-model plug-in for Revit lets users save their Revit models to an i-model file from within the Revit application.
