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.

Steel members such as steel beams and trusses, handrails, stairs and metal decking are of importance in steel detailing process. The bright side of steel detailing is that it thoroughly explains detailing information for standard sections, steel bolts and welds, which in turn benefits builders to visualize their proposed steel building structure and develop effective construction techniques.

Construction projects run a tight ship. Project stakeholders must obtain complete visualization to achieve timely deliverables and outcomes. 4D BIM workflows integrated with model authoring capabilities are key for teams and stakeholders to leverage an accurate snapshot of various onsite activities, materials and resources. Identifying errors before they happen and creating safer worksites are some of the ways 4D BIM is transforming the construction landscape.

Elements of the Revit Family Library can be modeled to specification based on hand-drawn sketches and 2D drawings. Customized Revit Family creation for Kitchen Cabinets enables building projects with BIM object prototypes to save on cost and time. Architects, engineers, and fabricators can utilize customized and detailed kitchen cabinet models for greater 3D visualization, repetitive design requirements, better usability, and more.

5D BIM visualization helps improve budget analysis and cost estimates. Conventional estimation techniques that depend on 2D drawings show potential errors, ambiguities and inefficiencies. A 3D BIM model live-linked to actual material quantities of construction objects, equipment and other resources helps mitigate inconsistencies in project cost estimations. 5D helps project stakeholders improve project budgets, delivers cost-loaded schedules and enables in-depth and accurate forecasts for agile comparability. With parametric modeling and higher process flexibility, cost-adjustments can be leveraged in real-time based on any design changes. The core value of 5D cost estimation enables General Contractors to enhance value-engineering judgments for project owners.

Point cloud to BIM enables documenting existing structures, facilities or buildings through accurate and detailed 3D visualization. Renovation of complex hospitals, airports or other infrastructure brings in its share of challenges. Point Cloud to BIM navigates through various renovation challenges and provides stakeholders great advantages. Point Cloud to BIM Modeling provides enhanced data capture, reduced rework and greater cost savings with lower site visits.

To meet the changing needs of the construction industry, BIM tools are put in place to initiate quicker, efficient, and economical construction. BIM experts play a significant role in the design, visualization, and collaboration to fuel improved decision-making. Pre-screening BIM outsourcing partners through a series of checklists help leverage proficient BIM services for VDC, coordination, 4D, 5D, etc. It also helps AEC firms edge out challenges, improve workflows, and ensure greater focus on crucial construction processes.

4D BIM modeling connects building designs and construction sequence planning with the next level of opportunity to connect seamlessly. 4D BIM gives liberty to the users to communicate with the site inspectors, project stakeholders, visit the site virtually and generate an interactive timeline with visuals of how the work progresses.

We provide migration from CAD to BIM modeling to help engineers and architects convert design data from CAD models to BIM-ready 3D models for efficient design collaboration. From furniture products to ornamental architectural products, from MEPF to HVAC equipment, and from structural components to plant room mechanical equipment, we transform(convert) everything from CAD to Revit BIM models and objects in Revit for better 3D design visualization and space occupancy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Facade designing and execution is an important aspect of building design and construction. Facades not only protect the building from the exterior elements but also introduce a visually attractive accent to your building design. From the basic intent to fundamental planning and designing, and eventual execution, a building's facade is an important function which needs to be done with utmost care and considerations. They have a lot of significance, from saving costs, to increasing revenues. If you want to increase the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your building design, here are some unique facade design solutions that you can follow.
