Prefabrication and modular construction provide significant efficiencies and improvements in the construction industry. The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides enhanced benefits wherein more than 50% of the BIM users credit prefabrication with enhanced schedule performance and more than 40% credit it for cost performance. The adoption of BIM boosts the prefabrication and modular process to accelerate the design and build absolute certainty for the entire project. General contractors and developers are increasingly adopting prefabrication or modular construction to mitigate various challenges like labor shortage,rework, cost and time overruns.

Formwork allows structures to be built and erected quickly. The application of formwork can be applied to solid structures, structures that require bespoke functions, structure reconstruction, etc. It has gained significant potential and is certainly the most popular form of construction on a cost and design front.

BIM - Building Information Modeling provides a single source of truth for all the disciplines of construction projects. BIM - a simple 3D digital model - warehouses all the design, construction scheduling and sequencing, cost estimation, and facility management information all at once place.

BIM (Building Information Modeling), provides a single three-dimensional digital model of a building that everyone - architect, client, suppliers, builders, environmental managers - can put to profitable use. An integral part of digital business, BIM streamlines life cycle activities from concept and construction through demolition. Continue reading...

As cities halt construction due to Covid-19, do not get stuck. Rather focus on BIM solutions to keep your AEC projects up and running. Blunt the impact of COVID-19 and emerge stronger with us. Read on...

We delivered a coordinated Revit 3D model, sheet setup, schedule floor layout, component sheets which showed the overall structure or composition of the building to the Formwork Production Company. Check the full case study for more information...

As the COVID-19 pandemic halts construction across the globe, brace up to change the time of crisis into a growth story. Manage the impact by focusing on preconstruction phase. Be prepared when the markets open by leveraging construction technology like BIM and keep your projects up and running.

5D BIM in construction is an element or dimension of cost estimation added to 4D BIM. Cost and time are two important factors for owners to build complex buildings, facilities, and infrastructure. Check out this article to know what are the roles of 5D BIM cost estimation in construction.

BIM helps the surveyor make the work quicker at minimum cost. They can produce accessible synchronous information regarding project performance. For example, with the help of BIM, they can access and analyze data derived from various sources in the form of geometries, numerals & necessary footnotes for explicit information. Read on.

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.

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.

Social housing firms or property owners need to save, manage, and utilize digital building information for efficient operations and maintenance. 2D deliverables are unable to provide the accuracy and visualization to understand asset performance. Digital Twins within BIM are high-impact tools that can support social housing firms with an enhanced user experience, improved rent management, better detailing, and more. Read the blog on the potential benefits of BIM through digital twins to augment social housing.

The use of digital twins can open a myriad of opportunities for asset and rent management for social housing firms. BIM services provide asset visualization through 3D BIM models for digital twins, which allows social housing corporations to leverage digital properties. More than 74% of housing agents win greater deals that include virtual viewing in 3D streamed through digital twins. Read the blog to understand the significance of adopting Digital Twins for social housing firms.

A project management solutions firm from Saudi Arabia needed to develop a coordinated BIM model for a University Hospital Building. They needed an accurate coordinated 3D BIM model in LOD 500 that would enable them to attain better ROIs with scheduling. Using BIM MEP Modeling services we delivered a clash-free 3D BIM model in LOD 500 to the client which helped streamline construction activities, reduce rework and save time during construction.

BIM has earned an important place in the world of planning, design, and construction. Complex MEP systems need BIM visualization, coordinated and clash-free 3D models, code compliance, streamlined workflows, QC, and other capabilities to achieve optimum functioning of MEP equipment. Read the article that lists out impactful BIM benefits for MEP consultants for positive outcomes, timely project completion, and lower construction costs.

Point cloud to BIM solutions help surveying companies accurately measure sites and structures for better planning and clash resolution in the pre-construction stage. Construction firms and surveyors find it easier to visualize the structures through 3D models, including historical sites that lack detailed plans. Hitech CADD Services provide point cloud to BIM modeling services for enhancing building performance efficiency, load calculations, demolition analysis, damage analysis, and other tasks. Know more about the importance of these solutions here.

Hitech CADD Services achieved a significant milestone of executing 500+ MEPF projects and saving millions of dollars and numerous project hours. As BIM projects continue to be outsourced, it is crucial to understand the challenges that come with them. Check out the article to learn about the 4 core challenges in BIM outsourcing, and best the practices to resolve them.

MEP systems play a vital role in ensuring building comfort and safety. Integrating them efficiently poses challenges. Traditionally,2D drawings caused coordination problems, delays, and extra costs. The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) by MEP engineers is on the rise, providing significant advantages. BIM services revolutionize MEP engineering by improving prefabrication accuracy, cutting labor costs, and expediting construction schedules.
