BIM is on its way up, and with software technology advancements in its court, it has trashed out all the redundant AEC industry practices to replace with the digitized workflows. BIM workflow certainly has changed the way we design and construct; from blueprints to 3D as-built models and from bottom-top to modular construction, respectively. In a nutshell, it has made building design and construction practices to be more data centric.
Structural engineers agree that platform such as Autodesk’s Revit is more than just a tool for developing 3D structural models with design documentation and Bill of Materials (BOM) to them. It has become a gateway for efficient installation of prefabricated structural components, achieving accurate dimensional accuracy, enhancing constructability, and for streamlining the construction project processes.
Today’s structural engineers have started using BIM platforms and gateways for more data driven decisions. Along with changing practices AEC…
