Structural engineers are now responsible for making designs, conducting structural analysis, and making sturdy structure with accurate steel and rebar detailing.

Surveying firms can capture and scan data into information-rich 3D models to record as-built conditions. 3D parametric models drive visualization in 3D space to identify component connections and structural elements. Accurate documentation, spatial analysis, 360-degree project representation, load calculations, and improved asset identification are some of the benefits delivered by point cloud to BIM. Read this blog post to learn of the significant benefits of point cloud to BIM for surveying companies.

BIM is considered as a useful collaboration tool for real estate developers, architects, surveyors, contractors, engineers etc., as it helps them stay on the same page and coordinate all the activities. BIM - extended as a construction support service, increases productivity and translates projects into better project outcomes. http://goo.gl/1RSCtX

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.

A building is often judged by its outer shape, appeal and aesthetics. People often express a lot about how architecture should fullfill the needs of people and the environment in which a building is set in terms of design. However, the required consideration and emphasis on Structural Design is not given due weightage.

Shopping malls are growing worldwide, dominating retail and commercial market. The occupants usually have the same concern regarding indoor climate, regardless of geographical location. Apparently the most important aspect that matters in the energy performance of a shopping mall, is its customer satisfaction, its safety and logistic, the accessibility and range of products and access to public transport and car parking.

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.

With no doubt, BIM is all-rounder of the construction industry, especially when it comes to payment related declarations or supply chain. BIM helps the contractors, general contractors and sub-contractors to contribute expenditures according to the works, material & process activities.
