The approval of BIM has mostly been successful both in Australia and internationally, it poses exclusive challenges as the building industry is learning about several disputes that need be addressed in managing risks when using BIM. Contractual integration of BIM remains the key challenge of all.

Procurement process is rigid and relies on a bureaucratic outlook which isn't favorable for smaller firms. The existing UK procurement rules, or at least the Scottish regulations, go beyond than the requirement by the EU and therefore; Brexit is questionable to have a substantial impression on procurement.

Architects, contractors, occupants and various other stakeholders can easily access the valuable information instantaneously about the building model, as BIM makes it easy for designers to create such intelligent environment. However, the only limitation of such 3D BIM models is that they are prepared basis the amount of information and input fed in the BIM model by the architectural design support team.

AEC firms aspiring to grow need to understand that growth is never by mere chances. Instead, to get in to the list of Fortune 500 companies, they will have to put in rigorous efforts in the right direction. The architectural engineering and construction industry has realized that adopting BIM can and has certainly driven a lot of AEC firms towards success.

Though, architecture is yet to evolve as per the needs of gifted people, a DeafSpace project has shaken the very foundation of creative architecture. DeafSpace is an architectural design concept of utilizing open space in a way that touches on major points within the deaf experience. DeafSpace principles are architectural guidelines that improve "how deaf people interact in, and with their built surroundings".

Qatar Infrastructure industry needs to gear up to digitize the construction process by implementing BIM ASAP by partnering with BIM architectural service providers. Qatarian Government now carries a huge responsibility on its shoulder to not just finish the project but finish it on time and in given budget.

Outsourcing architectural BIM projects to specialized companies is becoming increasingly popular in the AEC industry. In this article, we have listed the top 5 architectural BIM companies that provide a comprehensive range of architectural BIM services. These companies possess extensive experience across various sectors, such as commercial and industrial buildings, healthcare, education, hotels, resorts, and historical monuments. Explore the article to consider outsourcing your projects and make informed decisions for your next venture.

BIM Can Help Oil and Gas Projects Review Designs with Clients More Easily and Produce Documentation 50% Faster: Oil and gas industry has always had one consistent demand; and that is to build huge complex structures. But the matter doesn’t end here. The engineering and meticulous execution needs both; on site and off site, which becomes impossible to meet manually. Projects that overrun in the oil and gas industries, have deeper cost impacts that extend over the …

Up until two weeks back, only very digitally savvy people were heard using the term Augmented Reality - AR. Pokemon Go has turned the tables drastically bringing in immense awareness about AR. the truth is that many contractors and architects are experimenting with AR as a visualization tool, which means the technology is already being used in the built environment as part of the architectural and structural design process.

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!

BIM has been facilitating construction industry for long time and also helps architects, contractors & sub-contractors building a safety construction sites. Let see these four factors which would help contractors to ensure safer construction projects.

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.

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.

MEP layout in a big facility is so complicated that it becomes time consuming and causes waste of resources if not planned properly. BIM has proved to be a useful tool for determining various options and remove the hindrances.

BIM is the digital representation of a construction process and beyond. It ensures that all the data that is crucial to run a facility smoothly is accumulated throughout the design and construction process.

The architecture of a place is a decisive factor in lending the space longevity Considering this obvious fact, it becomes worth one's while to explore the role of architectural design in creating healthcare facilities that comply with the needs of the present and adapt to those of the future.

The idea of a smart city, however, is rooted in planned urban development: the UN estimates more than 50% of the world's population to live in cities by 2050; in this light, it becomes imperative for governments and civic bodies to consider planned communities built using accessible technology, and becoming models for efficient urban administration.

Waterproofing is expected to be strong as long as building stands. But once waterproofing is damaged, the impact in form of cost and damaged it has on the facility, is unexplainable. The cost of mending it again is twice the cost of waterproofing.
