What is VDC or Virtual Design and Construction?

VDC or Virtual Design and Construction is a way of working with construction projects supported by Building Information Modeling or BIM. It is a concept that is commonly applied with construction partners. Construction BIM models are primary source of information and common platform, and they naturally become the starting point of effective collaboration in construction between all project parties. VDC provides overview and basis for optimized planning and execution of a construction project helping in securing progress and consensus.

Benefits of BIM for Contractors and Contracting Companies

BIM for contractors provides clear intent in bidding and throughout construction process. Now-a-days contractors are handling large infrastructure projects with ease using BIM. Innovative solutions and new services are being offered by contractors within their business models such as BIM Execution Plans, BIM Modeling, BIM Coordination and quality checks, quantity take-off reports, and work breakdown structures (WBS). Contractors are now having more insight and control over their construction projects.

In this blog post we will be highlighting the benefits BIM provides to contractors and sub-contractors so that you can decide whether it is right for you.

How BIM is being used in the Middle East

Some of the iconic buildings can be seen in Middle East. There is no doubt that these building projects were requiring innovative solutions to solve complex design, engineering and contracting challenges. Tight schedules are a major constraint for such projects in Middle East which is why we wanted to know how Middle East is expected to use BIM. In this blog post, we will be summarizing renowned market reports demonstrating the business value of BIM in Middle East.

The vital importance of 3D BIM model-based design evaluations for construction project success

Construction business is a type of hazardous and uncertain business which requires greater capital and it also implies that a failure can lead to massive money risk. Several buildings and structures can be found in past that collapsed due to poor design reviews and planning. Post disaster examination uncovers potential safety issues in poorly constructed structures. There’s a message in every structural disaster that any size of construction projects without legitimate planning, audit, examination and coordination, puts itself at equivalent hazard.

6 Qualities required to become world class BIM Manager and a leader

Leadership is a fine quality and is found rarely. A manager with training can be effective but an effective leadership comes naturally. When dealing with projects requiring BIM, it is very important to manage the use of BIM properly but when dealing with humans, a leader needs to lead them. When we talk about Building Information Modeling technology, a person who has to act as manager needs to be a leader too.

How BIM has transformed the MEP engineering and design process?

Introduction:

BIM has revolutionized the AEC industry since last in the past decade witnessing the boom in the construction industry. More than half of the world’s MEP consulting companies (Mechanical Electrical and Plumbing) are looking forward to implement BIM in their current processes. BIM is viewed as modern engineering design approach which goes beyond the conventional construction methods. BIM has allowed MEP engineers to efficiently and smartly design and effectively collaborate with cross discipline consultants which was too hard to put in place with previous CAD based tools.
