4D BIM is a game changer for the construction industry and is capable of saving the sector valuable resources both in terms of time and budget. Check the full case study to know more about how Hitech CADD Services built a federated information-rich 4D model for construction scheduling using Revit and Navisworks for one of the leading architectural firms in the UK.

Autodesk Revit is building information modeling software and BIM- Building Information Modeling is not a software or technology. Read this article to explore the difference between Revit and BIM.

Scan to BIM is the process, which uses 3D laser scanning technology to capture the as-built environment. The resulting Survey data called Point cloud is imported into Autodesk Revit. Rather than simply remaining guides or theoretical representations, point clouds provide the ability to effectively import 3D physical space into a digital format and inform/augment your existing digital models. Check our service offering for point cloud modeling and contact us today with your detailed requirements of point cloud to BIM services for your retrofit building needs.

A commercial plumbing products manufacturer from Chicago hired Hitech BIM Services to create Revit families for plumbing products. The client has provided the product design specification in pdf files from which we created 150 BIM Revit families for drainage products. Check out the full project for more information.

The use of Revit Family creation for plumbing equipment helps architects and designers enhance project deliverables in 3D space to design and manufacture plumbing equipment. Using Revit Family creation helps reduce the total cost for mep products manufacturers, improve time management, enhance collaboration and promote efficient plumbing design.

Scan to BIM or point cloud modeling services specifically used for renovations, refurbishment of old structures or monuments. So, point cloud modeling services allow us to evaluate and assess the building or structure along with validating the new design before any new design is proposed for construction.

Accurate MEP BIM modeling and coordination ensures seamless and accurate completion of the construction project. Also, MEP 3D models and MEP coordination drawings developed in Autodesk Revit helps engineers and architects to plan the design efficiently.

4D is the fourth dimension and it signifies the importance of time for a multi-storey construction project. 4D combines the visual component of the 3D BIM model with a specific timeline. 4D builds the stage for improved strategic planning and budgeting. Multi-storey construction with 4D modeling services help planners, estimators, owners, architects, etc. set the course for timely deliverables.

Contractors can take comprehensive advantage of BIM in MEP modeling to enhance collaboration, simplify projects, and reduce risk across the entire project. BIM MEP modeling assists contractors with 3D Modeling, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, MEP collision identification, BOM's, schedules, and more. Contractors can latch onto BIM MEP design for better project planning, trade collaboration, and better resource control.

BIM is helping numerous architecture and construction firms to operate more productively, deliver high-quality building construction and infrastructure projects, attract more talent, and win new business. Read the full blog to find out more about the benefits of BIM services.

BIM can empower construction projects through collaboration, onsite safety, and information management. It has the ability to predict and prevent construction challenges beginning from the design phase itself, which is why construction companies are increasingly adopting BIM for construction projects.

Our Revit expert team delivered point cloud to BIM modeling services and successfully accomplished the project by providing point cloud scan to information-rich intelligent 3d BIM models in Revit for an educational centre.

BIM services providers deliver 4D BIM construction scheduling services to work closely with the site engineers and to help them make informed decisions. The phasing outputs for site logistics and planning during the construction stage are set against predefined timelines to visualize the progress and compare actual construction against planned.

BIM offers significant productivity and coordination benefits for MEP design and construction. By creating virtual 3D MEP models, clashes between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems can be detected proactively before installation, mitigating costly onsite rework and delays. An integrated BIM approach enhances MEP shop drawings and detailing through better visualization of confined spaces and automated information sharing between disciplines.

An effective Scan to BIM solution clarifies how structures will react when demolished through demolition analysis. This is one of the reasons why surveyors and laser scanning companies employ point cloud to BIM modeling for demolition purposes. They can visualize the resulting structure and the aligned spaces after the expected demolition. The 3D models present detailed spatial layouts with clear visualization. At Hitech CADD Services, our Revit experts used scanned data to create an accurate structural 3D BIM model for a 111,000 m2 building. The model aided in conducting a comprehensive demolition analysis, allowing us to assess load calculations and predict the overall impact after demolishing a part of the structure.

Building drawings are crucial in construction, guiding contractors, subcontractors, and owners in project execution. They serve diverse functions, from conveying technical data to ensuring compliance and approvals. Construction drawings offer precise measurements and insights into building sections, aiding communication, problem-solving, and structural clarity. However, understanding the various types is essential. In this article, we have listed 42 types of building drawings, each tailored for specific design intents and instructions. Explore the guide for a comprehensive understanding of these drawings in construction and design, ensuring successful project outcomes.

Geometrically complex heritage buildings are challenging to survey using traditional methods or 2D plans. It can be challenging to renovate structures that lack construction documents, as-built drawings, or other documentation. Point Cloud to 2D/3D modeling is an ideal solution to overcome this challenge. Check out this article to know how point cloud to BIM modeling helps to make informed decisions in the field of renovation and restoration of heritage buildings.

Legacy construction technologies are unable to cope with modern building needs for Formwork design. Concrete designing, manufacturing, and installation require advanced preconstruction tools like BIM for structural contractors to resolve issues quickly for formwork dimensions and technicalities. Read the article to learn how BIM modeling supports structural contractors with accurate planning, quick TAT, high-quality formwork deliverables, and more.
