Work Efficient Scheduling Tool - BIM Software

Here we introduce BIM software which people also know as Estimating software and scheduling tool. The choice of scheduling tool involves making a decision based on convenience, functionality, action to perform a work efficiently. Further, it depends on refining and reusing data later in the life-cycle and taking into account the information exchange process.
With the help of this module, we get to learn and understand different types of BIM software and tools used in BIM. Such as Preliminary Design and Feasibility Tool, BIM Authoring tools, BIM Analysis Tools, Shop Drawing and Fabrication Tools, Construction Management Tools, Quantity Takeoff and Estimating software, Scheduling Tools, File Sharing & Collaboration Tools and Construction Management or Project Management tools.

Above tools get in use for achieving the project's collaboration and coordination. Therefore, the aforementioned scheduling tools play a crucial role in BIM modeling.

Course design

The design of this course is for constructional professionals and engineering students who would like to perceive better career options in construction technology & management, and want to upgrade their skill sets.
It is important to realize that there are vast opportunities in the construction sector in India. Therefore, those who desire to become an expert as a BIM Modeler, BIM Coordinator must know the famous scheduling tool. Learning BIM software and scheduling tool are very essential. It is beneficial for stakeholders as well as owners.

The major aim of this course is:

• Introduction to BIM Tools and BIM software
• Selection of proper BIM Tools
• Understanding BIM Application of each tool
• Understanding Project Management Tools used in BIM
• Benefits of all tools and BIM software used in BIM.

BIM tools

(BIM) Building Information Modeling is both, the creation of a set of digital models as per environment planning, as well as the process of collaborative working of these models during the lifecycle of that building. Further, to endorse this creation and collaboration, integrated BIM software or estimating software tools are now commercially available.
Additionally, BIM applications can be evaluated as tools for producing design information, structuring it and managing it. Still, currently, most BIM design applications also have interfaces to other functionalities as, for occurrence, rendering, energy analysis or cost estimating tool.

Furthermore, these tools provide a user-friendly interface, well organized according to workflow and they are easy to learn.

Below are some of the tools used in BIM field:

• Preliminary Design and Feasibility Tool
• BIM Authoring tools
• BIM Analysis Tools
• Shop Drawing and Fabrication Tools
• Construction Management Tools
• Quantity Takeoff and Estimating software
• Scheduling Tools
• File Sharing & Collaboration Tools
• Construction Management Tools.

Technologies used

Notably, BIM technology is covered under this module which includes software like Revit, Navisworks, Tekla, etc.

Hardware used

• 3D Scanner– 3D Scanner is the hardware that Provides detailed and highly accurate 3D data rapidly and efficiently. With a 3D scanner, you can quickly define the coordinates in a point cloud. It relates to millions of points per second at a distance of up to 330 meters. In addition to estimate points, the 3D scanner also includes photos to describe the right color value to each end. It quickly creates a photo-realistic representation of an existing object.
• 3D Cameras– 3D Camera is easy enough for anyone to use – your current engineers can learn how to scan in minutes. Speed up the documentation method and keep costs low.

Conclusion

Building information modeling is frequently part of any and all construction ventures. While some clients prefer to make it mandatory, BIM offers benefits to all professionals in the construction industry, whether they are architects, builders, designers or engineers. It is as valid for small businesses as it is for larger ones.
Open and free source BIM software need to be chosen with care, however. In this case, the size of the user’s business does matter. Miniature construction firms may not have the internal software skills or resources to work with open source BIM programs or toolkits. Also, larger companies will need to size up the effort required to put such plans to practical use. On the other hand, other free and open sources of scheduling tool or BIM software such as BIMx, B-processor, and 4BIM offer real feasibilities to become part of the BIM scene and to do right business because of it.

How is BIM implemented by the organization in this evolving technology?

Implementing BIM in this
evolving technology is a pretty
challenging task for any organization. You just don’t have to become a software
specialist; you must be a technology
specialist so that you can move technology the way you want.

NIBT’s primary intention is to create the
professional, the technology experts and not just the software experts. Are you
the one who intends to be the same?

Use 5D BIM for Cost and Schedule modeling

 5D BIM effective for BIM modeling

There is always some lurking fear of the unknown in the construction industry. We may have used the best and greatest minds to get the value and cost of construction of a pre-constructed building, but we still face challenges. Technology has improved and reduced the general cost of construction by eliminating uncertainty in costs of construction.

The 5D Building Information Modeling (5D BIM) has elevated the ancient construction practices through conceptual design and cost modeling. It works as construction cost estimator, schedule of rates. With just a click at this, you can view not only the changes you make on the layout, materials or size, but also the cost and schedule of constructing. Many firms have adopted this entirely virtual model, because of its efficiency and to allow the stakeholders to make informed decisions.

To generate accurate dimension, the type of loading and number and size of beams and column the BIM is used with Revit software as BIM tool. It helps all professionals involved in the design process to make changes and adjustments with ease and accuracy before the actual construction begins.

Let’s have a look at the advantages of 5D BIM

•   Precision and Clarity

          The 5D Macro-BIM offers precise information on the building before construction to eliminate possible structural and financial risk. The project team can understand clearly the scope of the project scheduling and the exact cost.

•    Easy to make changes

         Traditional construction involves a long and tiresome process while making changes to the building. Structural changes affect the design, the layout and in return affects the cost. The 5D- Macro BIM makes it easy to alter the design, the price, and layout all at the same time.

•  Time and cost efficient

          The design process is lengthy and requires accuracy and changes with every step while involving different professionals for consultation. With the help of the 5D Macro- BIM, the time and cost of the project have significantly reduced while giving accurate estimates.

With the 5D Macro-BIM technology, you can visualize your wildest imaginations for a building. Get specific and precise dimensions, finish and cost with few simple clicks and eliminate structural and financial drawbacks during construction.
