The use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in design is nothing new, as innovative as it may be. Advances in technology have allowed for advances in BIM and building design software as well. Those familiar with using BIM programs may also be familiar with the frustrations that come from using them. Anything from outdated construction implementation, to inability to share your work, some BIM programs just don’t seem worth the hassle.
But not anymore. Now there’s Revit, a new software application that supports BIM from the very first concept drawing to a full-scale construction process. Capable of everything that past BIM programs achieved, as well as much, much more, Revit BIM Modeling is the newest thing for any architecture, design and construction based company.
This new software platform allows for more interactive design. While before, many designers had to work allow and collaborate with their team outside of the BIM programs, Revit has made it so that work-sharing is built into the software. The ability to connect to a server allows for a team of designers to collaborate on the same project at the same time. Scheduling, bidirectional association and parametric modeling just makes the job that much easier to accomplish.
Revit is available for architectural design MEP engineering structural engineering, and actual construction projects. It prides itself in being able to offer detailed BIM for every subject. From improved depth cueing to reinforcement detailing, as well as fabrication service conversion, Revit has it all in one, single software.
How You’re Going To Get A Better Product With BIM Modeling Outsourcing
You want to produce the best possible product at all times. It’s going to be easier to embrace BIM modeling outsourcing to ensure that you get the quality that you desire. There are various reasons for this, and it’s not something you should feel bad about.
- Experience
By outsourcing, you suddenly tap into the experience of the firm. They may have worked with the kinds of buildings you are designing for years and therefore can make recommendations on what needs to be done. - Education
It takes a significant amount of education to work as a draftsman and know how to work with building models. If you don’t have someone on your team with a degree in drafting and CAD drawing, you may not be doing the drawings on the level that is desired. Recognizing this can make it easier to outsource. - Software
You may not have the software that’s needed to get the job done to the best of your abilities. When you outsource BIM modeling, you can ensure that state-of-the-art software is being used in order to create the models. You can have them brought into CAD or out from CAD. Further, you can be sure that they are in the format that you need. For contractors, it may be best to have the building models in 3D. However, to provide tours to those who will be ultimately purchasing the buildings, you may want 4D technology.
Regardless of what you need, you can outsource and ensure that it’s going to be to your standards (and possibly higher) as a result of the experience, education, and software used by the firm.
