Complete Guide to BIM Technology

What is BIM

Building Information Modeling is not just one software, rather it is a collection of software such as modeling software like REVIT, Scheduling software such as MS Project/Primavera P6. Then merge both and input them in Navisworks for a complete action pack and detail-oriented model with a time frame. This way we get better visualization and understanding of design which will result in reducing various clashes and delays during on-field execution.

Where can it be used?

BIM as a whole is USD in ACE Industry which is Architecture-Construction-Engineering. Various industry-oriented personals have recommended BIM Technology not only for construction but also for facility management. As the source and data output from BIM are precise and time-saving. Reporting documents and generating estimation is hassle-free when compared to other areas.

If you want to start and get in this field, many did recommend me to go for estimating and scheduling with schedule and Navisworks which will not require you any modeling skills, and kick start with this small step. 

What tools or software do you need?

1. REVIT Architecture 
2. REVIT Structures
3. REVIT MEP
4. BIM 360
5. MS Project
6. Primavera P6
7. GanttPRO
8. Advance in MS Excel
9. Procore
10. Navisworks
11. Synchro

Few of them are of the same field and can skip one. For example, MS Project / P6. Navisworks/Synchro

This list is not just of 8 software, you will have to add more software and applications connected to BIM.
