Building information modeling is no more the wonder word that the construction industry raved about. Today BIM has become vernacular of professionals working on building design and construction projects for large buildings and complex structures. The question that construction firms are asking is not about whether to implement BIM or not, now it is all about how it will be executed.

Increasing number of industries have become data driven already. They are all the more associated with specialists, build data-centric cultures, and developed tools - gadgets - applications and much more to leverage data, optimize their new as well as ongoing projects, and avoid any pitfalls. There are no second thoughts that the building construction industry will certainly follow.

The beauty of BIM lies in computer simulations which help all those involved in project, understand how the building will behave long before it is constructed. Often heralded as a break-through invention; BIM is driving architects, engineers and for that matter, every stakeholder associated with the construction industry crazy!

The best thing to start with is building performance simulation. It can help Architects run multiple simulations with various materials and physical positioning as to how a building would function under different situations. This kind of choices made at very initial stage of deign can help converse the energy later on.

Today an architecture, engineering, & construction industry adopts BIM processes for design, construction, and post-construction operations & management of the facility, the function of drawing and drafting complex MEP systems is also changing.

BIM and Revit are the most popular among them, as 3D scanned point cloud data, also hand holds in attaining various Levels of Development - LOD.

Building skin imparts a character to a place, externally; and is a major parameter for building performance, internally. rat[LAB]-Research in Architecture & Technology designs a façade project in Gurgaon for an industrial building using parametric techniques that have overcome multiple constraints.

The building and construction industry across the globe is still struggling to get clarity about the applicability and usefulness of Level of Development (LOD).

Know what are the major constrains facing the construction industry through BIM and how BIM enhance the risk management and migration of risk.

Today's construction industry relies heavily on robust steel development. Accurate structural engineering promises sturdy buildings that withstand unexpected natural disasters. Engineers, fabricators, constructors and builders are extensively assisted by structural steel detailers and play a vital role across the construction process.

Laser scanning is getting ever so popular in the building design and construction industry, especially for large scale expansion, renovation, building restoration and retrofitting projects. In addition to these, using Scan to BIM to upgrade a facility into a sustainable high performance building is also gaining pace.

BIM has a distinctive ability to identify clashes, interventions and omissions before the construction work starts. BIM software like Navisworks simulates clash detection to allow assessment of risks, and plan mitigation strategies during the development process.

Know the challenges industrial product manufacturers and building construction companies are facing while choosing an AutoCAD outsourcing service provider.

In the near future, the BIM era is likely to make way for District Information Modelling (DIM). To pave the path for others, Europe has undertaken projects involving multi-disciplinary teams from multiple nations with participants from diverse backgrounds including architecture, engineering, philosophy, politics, sociology and geography.

BIM has been putting information at the heart of construction projects, empowering every stakeholder who utilizes that information, transform the project environment at large.

The BIM Implementation approach is beneficial in Qatar construction industry in two ways. International consultants got the opportunity to incorporate BIM into their practice, whereas the onshore consultants who were struggling or were hesitant to adopt BIM have started benefiting by the experience and insight of these offshore BIM consultants or BIM service providers.

With developments in technology which support BIM workflows better than before, there are examples of ground-breaking projects in construction and infrastructure which have optimized energy use using efficient and reliable energy analyses using real building data - the most remarkable in recent times is the Shanghai Tower.
