26 December 2020, Australia- If we take a look at the current scenario of the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry, BIM (Building Information Modelling) is everywhere. But, why is 3D BIM Modelling Services in Australia so popular? Well, there are some obvious advantages, as explained by the experts in this PR blog.

The first advantage offered by this technology is better visualization. An engineer can see how a complete design will look like, even before the construction begins. Also, they can consider different factors, such as terrain, weather conditions, etc. This data can help experts to plan effectively, and create the best design using the available resources, and the building's space.

This technique is used to prefabricate the design and to choose the right material to create the building. It allows experts to save materials (and minimize wastage), thus bringing down a project's cost to a significant extent. If necessary, experts may change a design to fit the project's requirements. In the past, this was a nightmare. However, BIM has significantly improved the process, allowing people to make the alterations, when they want, and where they want.

The risk of rework would be minimized with the help of this technology. It will prevent the number of change orders, and wastage of materials, which is a big plus. BIM allows people to share files with other team members, thus improving communication and collaboration. Every team member will be aware of the design and the changes needed in the design.

The information will be available to users for a lifetime. So, if something happens, they can open the file and check the design for themselves. The best part of BIM is its software. Several tools are available that can be used to create BIM-based objects. Among them, Revit, Autodesk, and the BIM 360 are the popular ones. Most of the software are free, and come with tutorials, documentation and guidance. Also, this technology is time-efficient and cost-effective, compared to the other ones.

BIM can be used to create designs that range in complexity, from simple to complex. Buildings created using this technology will stand the test of time, and nature’s forces. Only a BIM expert can decide if a project needs this technology or not. Therefore, it is essential to consult with the expert and learn what he has to say about the matter.
