Will BIM be extinct in the next five years?

Image
As I travel around the world and share my experiences and gain knowledge, I often find myself wondering if there will come a time when the trade of a bricklayer no longer exists.  Will all construction projects be automated using only machines and  technology?  Will the design and engineering become automated?  I sat with a few industry professionals, discussing the same.  As I sat with them, a few questions came to mind:  With all of these advances in technology, are we really making any change? Or are we simply programming and pushing buttons to create square tiles, straight walls, corners that meet perfectly with no gap or overlap?  What happens to the creativity and art of designing and building the infrastructure?  If BIM does become extinct as one of the gentlemen feared, will there be a mass production of buildings using automation?  Will contractors still need an army of skilled employees or will they be replaced by machines in the very near future?  No matter what changes occu

z 2020 was a year of compulsive slow-paced life and even slower construction processes. The need for innovation and better technology has only grown hence. As we continue towards completing another year post the year of the global pandemic, there are both challenges and lessons learned. To begin with, Labor shortage and rising construction costs are on top of the platter of persistent challenges, to say the least. Let us have a closer look at the major trends that are believed to dominate the construction industry in the coming years.   1. Construction Management Software The construction industry has infamously been slow to leap into technology; however, these industry trends shall continue to persist. The Construction Management Software segment is increasingly becoming more advanced and easier to integrate with the on-site tasks. Many project management solutions are now being employed to improve the efficiency of operations and build an enhanced business reputation. COVID-19 did

What Are “As-Built” Drawings in Construction

Image
  As-built drawings are a fundamental aspect of each construction project. The fundamental motivation behind the as-built drawing serves is to replicate how the contractor built the project and identify what changes were made throughout the course of constructing the project. The last arrangements of as-built drawings hold significant data, for example, shop drawing changes, plan changes, field changes, affirmed and objected changes during development, and any minor or significant alteration to the last coming about the undertaking. At some random point in the span of the task, there ought to be a modern adaptation of the as-built drawings accessible for reference. What is an "as-built" drawing?  By definition, an as-built drawing is a modified arrangement of drawings put together by a temporary endless supply of a construction project. as-built drawings show the dimensions, geometry, and location of all components of the project. These 2D floor designs normally incorporate s

BIM - The Future of the Construction Industry

BIM is talked about a couple of lots within the building industry, but what's it used for and who should use it? Some say BIM may be a sort of software. Some say BIM is that the 3D model of buildings. Others say BIM could be a process that BIM is nothing quite an organized collection of all building data. BIM is all of the above and more. When it involves BIM, everything begins with a 3D digital building model. However, this model is quite just simple geometry and interesting textures added to that for visualization. a real BIM model consists of the virtual equivalents of the particular building sections that won't create a building. These intelligent elements are the digital prototype of the physical building elements like walls, columns, windows, doors, stairs, etc. that allow us to simulate the building and understand its behavior before the particular construction begins. WHAT CAN A BIM MODEL BE USEFUL FOR? 3D VISUALISATION The most basic use of a BIM model is for creating

Artificial Intelligence The Next Huge adaptive Move for BIM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is progressively turning into a huge cycle inside the business. Making a BIM model empowers those engaged with a very venture to shape improve their dynamic prior to going anyplace close to a building site. All the more as of late, BIM programming organizations have started to utilize software engineering (AI) inside the BIM cycle to help these models and subsequently the cycle of BIM. Computer-based intelligence is as of now helping the advancement business work all the more productively and can before long turn into the standard, as indifferent ventures. during this post, we'll characterize the BIM cycle, AI's function in BIM, and a couple of its focal points. What job does AI play in BIM? BIM could be an advanced portrayal of every part of a development venture. BIM is generally rehearsed inside the business, offering a significant improvement over more seasoned pre-development arranging strategies. A 3D data model is made from bot
