What is VDC or Virtual Design and Construction?

VDC or Virtual Design and Construction is a way of working with construction projects supported by Building Information Modeling or BIM. It is a concept that is commonly applied with construction partners. Construction BIM models are primary source of information and common platform, and they naturally become the starting point of effective collaboration in construction between all project parties. VDC provides overview and basis for optimized planning and execution of a construction project helping in securing progress and consensus.

Benefits of BIM for Contractors and Contracting Companies

BIM for contractors provides clear intent in bidding and throughout construction process. Now-a-days contractors are handling large infrastructure projects with ease using BIM. Innovative solutions and new services are being offered by contractors within their business models such as BIM Execution Plans, BIM Modeling, BIM Coordination and quality checks, quantity take-off reports, and work breakdown structures (WBS). Contractors are now having more insight and control over their construction projects.

In this blog post we will be highlighting the benefits BIM provides to contractors and sub-contractors so that you can decide whether it is right for you.

How BIM has transformed the MEP engineering and design process?

Introduction:

BIM has revolutionized the AEC industry since last in the past decade witnessing the boom in the construction industry. More than half of the world’s MEP consulting companies (Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing) are looking forward to implement BIM in their current processes. BIM is viewed as modern engineering design approach which goes beyond the conventional construction methods. BIM has allowed MEP engineers to efficiently and smartly design and effectively collaborate with cross discipline consultants which was too hard to put in place with previous CAD based tools.

What is CIM and Its variants? How CIM is related to BIM?

Introduction:

CIM can refer to Civil Information Modeling, City Information Modeling, or Construction Information Modeling. It focuses on expanding BIM or Building Information Modeling in space and time on a larger scale with interconnecting relationships between buildings, their sites, peoples and objects that occupy them. To fully grasp the capacity of CIM, it is important to understand versions of CIM and its potential implications for Architectural practice.
