Introduction 5D BIM, an acronym for 5D Building Information Modeling and a term widely used in the CAD industry, which refers to the intelligent linking of individual 3D CAD components or assemblies with schedule (time) constraint and cost-related information] The use of the term 5D is intended to refer to the addition of fourth dimension: time and fifth dimension: cost to the 3D model, i.e. 5D is 3D + schedule (time) + cost. The construction of the 5D models enables the various participants ( from architects, designers, contractors to owners) of any construction project, to visualize the progress of construction activities and its related costs over timeThis BIM-centric project management technique has a potential to vastly improves the project management and delivery of construction project of any size and complexity.

A look around in the Open BIM Concept

BIM advantage and its implication to the industry.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. Building Information Models (BIMs) are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be exchanged or networked to support decision-making about a place. Current BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government authorities who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical infrastructures, from water, wastewater, electricity, gas, refuse and communication utilities to roads, bridges and ports, from houses, apartments, schools and shops to offices, factories, warehouses and prisons, etc.

Wondering how we should use BIM for the projects. BIM Gurukul starts with a weekend recipe to make your work easy  to implement BIM. You might have heard about the various exciting features of BIM and  even be convinced of the benefits: intelligent models, auto-generating floor plans and sections, and better collaboration with clients. But how do you actually get started? BIM is complex—a giant sea of potential. And if you leap in without proper preparation, you could drown in the details. Instead, with a little thought and planning, you can chart a course that will carry you safely across the BIM ocean. (Too many water metaphors?) Here are six tips to help ease your transition into BIM. 1. Look for a Pilot Project. Do you have a client that wants to move to BIM? Is there a new project starting that looks like a good candidate for BIM? My favorites for those are new steel-frame buildings—not renovations—with a consistent column grid and regular floor plans. (Depend...

Gurukul (Sanskrit:  गुरुकुल ) is a type of school in India, residential in nature, with pupils (shishya) living near the guru, often within the same house. Prior to British rule, they served as South Asia's primary educational institution. The guru-shishya tradition (parampara) is a hallowed one in Hinduism and appears in other religious groups in India, such as Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism. The word gurukula is a contraction of the Sanskrit guru (teacher or master) and kula (extended family). Guru giving his lessons to the shishyas In a gurukula, shishya live together as equals, irrespective of their social standing], learn from the guru and help the guru in his day-to-day life, including the carrying out of mundane chores such as washing clothes, cooking, etc. Typically, a guru does not receive any fees from the shishya studying with him. At the end of his studies, a shishya offers the gurudakshina before leaving the gurukula or as...

About the first BIM Software: ArchiCAD Company Graphisoft Inc Headquarter: Budapest (Hungary) Co-Founder: Bajor, Gabor ArchiCAD is an architectural BIM CAD software for Macintosh and Windows developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft. ArchiCAD offers specialized solutions for handling all common aspects of aesthetics and engineering during the whole design process of the built environment — buildings, interiors, urban areas, etc. Development of ArchiCAD started in 1982 for the original Apple Macintosh. ArchiCAD is recognized as the first CAD product on a personal computer able to create both 2D drawings and parametric 3D geometry.] In its debut in 1987 ArchiCAD also became the first implementation of BIM under Graphisoft's "Virtual Building" concept. Today more than 100,000 architects are using it in the building design industry. Supported Platforms ArchiCAD is available for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. ArchiCAD 17 runs on Windows Vis...

Introduction The Level of Development (LOD) Specification is a reference that enables practitioners in the AEC Industry to specify and articulate with a high level of clarity the content and reliability of Building Information Models (BIMs) at various stages in the design and construction process. The LOD Specification utilizes the basic LOD definitions developed by the AIA for the AIA G202-2013 Building Information Modeling Protocol Form[1] and is organized by CSI Uniformat 2010[2].  It defines and illustrates characteristics of model elements of different building systems at different Levels of Development. This clear articulation allows model authors to define what their models can be relied on for, and allows downstream users to clearly understand the usability and the limitations of models they are receiving. The intent of this Specification is to help explain the LOD framework and standardize its use so that it becomes more useful as a communication tool.  It does...
