10 Key Benefits of BIM in Construction and Civil Engineering Projects
Key takeaways If you’ve ever sat in a kickoff meeting and had someone ask, “Which BIM software should we standardize on?” you already know the honest answer is it depends on what you’re building, who you’re building it with, and what happens to the model after construction. Revit, Tekla Structures, and Bentley’s platforms each dominate […]
BIM Compliance Requirements for Federal Construction Projects in the U.S.
Summary BIM compliance requirements for federal construction projects tell design and construction teams how to create, manage, check, submit, and hand over building information. These rules can include BIM models, file names, clash reports, open model formats, COBie data, equipment data, record models, secure file sharing, accessibility checks, and closeout files. There is no single […]
Masonry Clash Detection Using BIM Coordination
Masonry construction plays a critical role in structural integrity, building envelopes, and architectural aesthetics. Nonetheless, masons systems are commonly overlapped with structural frames, MEPs, openings, and finishes, which is why they are most likely to suffer coordination issues. Even 2D drawings often do not display those problems until the construction process has started, causing expensive […]
