Significance and Benefits of Federated BIM

Some of the challenges faced by construction projects are material wastage, construction rework, improper utilization of skilled resources, and design conflicts. These usually occur when various disciplines of the construction project work in silos. This is where federated BIM comes to play. It brings together the chosen components from different areas to a common data environment. [...]

BIM and Prefabrication

Construction industry professionals are always looking for ways to improve efficiency, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) has given them an array of possible ways to increase work speed, reduce cost, and improve safety. One of these cost-saving measures is prefabrication, the process of construction elements before they reach the job site. While prefabrication has [...]

What is Clash Detection and How Does BIM Help?

Construction has always been an incredibly complex industry, with innumerable moving parts, elements, and people working on the same project all at the same time. It’s only natural that at some point there may be issues due to that sheer complexity. Modern construction projects often involve multiple stakeholders and tradespeople like investors, architects, structural engineers, [...]
