BIM team or BIM departments or BIM groups created by many Architecture, engineering and contracting companies or construction companies are the one that performs collision detection, coordination, automated BOQs, phase wise 3D modelling, etc. They act as separate from engineering or CAD departments or groups. Some companies integrates all facets into one group such as CAD draughtsmen working as BIM detailers / BIM authors / BIM modellers, and has engineers who are knowledgeable on AutoCAD platform while they design / engineer particular systems.

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.

Like CAD standards, BIM standards in UAE are important when creating and sharing BIM models. In this blog post, we will explain about importance of BIM standards and what should they contain.
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.
