In today’s fast-paced construction environment, staying on top of multiple projects and team collaboration is crucial for success. While Building Information Modelling (BIM) has significantly improved the way projects are designed and managed, challenges can still arise without proper coordination.
With many construction companies still not utilising Building Information Modelling, we review the benefits to businesses and discuss how software vendors can do more to encourage adoption, especially by SMEs.
Russ Dalton, AECOM’s BIM director for the Americas, traces the development of technology behind some high-profile sporting projects, including the Barclays Center and Marlins Ballpark.
NBS and Graphisoft, the BIM software solution provider, have partnered to develop an add-on for Graphisoft ArchiCAD to enable direct linkage with NBS Chorus.
FARO’s As-BuiltTM Modeler enables the almost completely automated extraction of 3D modelled surfaces from point cloud data to optimise workflows – all without expensive new software.
The benefits of taking account of weather and climate data at the design stage of a building project extend through the building lifecycle. It can reduce costs, time, energy and effort throughout the life of your asset.
