About BIM

Building , Information , Modeling

Building information modeling (BIM) is a digitized platform to create 3d model with spatial information. The spatial information includes physical and functional attributes in building design. There are different levels of dimensions which adds to the benefits of BIM. 3d model is the basic modeling service for coordinated Architecture, Engineering and Construction services. Adopting various dimensions and level of detailing 3dmodel reflects interoperability for designing, construction and operation of building projects.

Ability to work in point cloud based environment , information can be extracted or exchanged from BIM files to support decision-making about a built asset. Contemporary BIM software applications can be used by individuals, businesses and government agencies to plan, design, construct, operate and maintain various physical infrastructures, like water, waste, energy, gas, communication utilities, and infrastructural facilities like railways, roads, bridges, ports, and tunnels.

Sevilla has an experienced structural engineers team, who have the ability to deal with projects with various international design approaches – from international codes: (American, European, Gulf, African and Arabian).

how bim works for architecture/ engineering & construction industry

 * BIM modeling techniques improve collaboration with consistent information throughout construction project lifecycle.
*3D Visualization animation walkthrough during pre-construction stages incorporates architects, contractors, subcontractors, BIM engineers perspective. Clients can also envision the project before the beginning of construction.
* 4D Scheduling facilitate online tracking of activities providing better risk mitigation.
* 5D BIM Modeling techniques helps estimators and surveyors to estimate accurate cost estimation . Quantity take-offs enable material and labor measurement before construction project has started. BIM Model-Based 5D cost estimation and quantity takeoff updates itself with any change in design intent.
*Better Project Coordination & MEP Clash Detection coordination can be achieved with BIM model.
* Reduced Cost & Risk
*Increased Productivity & Prefabrication / Modularization of Materials offsite
* Lower Warranty Costs

What are BIM Dimensions?

Building Information Modeling refers to level of detailed information and data entered into 3D model using BIM software. These dimensions of building design comprises of various data related to time, costs, and sustainability. Best BIM companies in us and world facilitate all BIM dimensions with BIM LOD (level of detailing).

3D BIM – The 3rd dimension model is all about geometry.
4D BIM – The 4th Dimension encompasses time parameter. 4d bim with naviswork helps in scheduling and simulation.
5D BIM – 5th Dimension of bim includes cost and material estimation, analysis and budget tracking. 5d modeling helps surveyors and estimator in estimation, quantity take off.
6D BIM – 6th Dimension of building information modeling is about self-sustainability and energy efficient design build services.
7D BIM – 7th Dimension of BIM allows asset management along with facility management. BIM services support design build services after the completion of the construction project lifecycle.
8D BIM – Risk Mitigation or safety management for effective accident prevention through building design.
