BIM -A General Intro

The Past:  We all understand how traditional construction surveys are conducted out by securing a fixed point of reference, a baseline and a network of vertical and horizontal checkpoints, through which spatial data can be captured. Historically, this has been achieved by using measuring chains and theodolites – a combination still used today. The Future :  The latest technology to capture building spatial data in the construction industry has the capability to digitally capture a physical space or site, from the ground or from the air, using the information to create an ‘intelligent 3D model’ which is often progressively referred to as ‘Scan-to-BIM’. Why should you invest in BIM compatible technologies? The construction market manages to operate at low margins, so greater accuracy and transparency at an initial stage encourages contractors to diminish their risks and therefore put forward more realistic bids. For example, a detailed BIM model can help them accurately

                  With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) and all the hype that it is generating, we’re starting to see many important use cases for IoT which are now commercial viable. We first witnessed smart devices which became mainstream in developed markets like USA and Western Europe, now we are seeing IoT driven smart devices like smart thermostats, talking fridges and lights that intelligently react and alter according to time of the day and season. But have you ever wondered What will happen when we add BIM to this mix and how will transform the day to day operations and management of a building ? How it will impact the sector of Construction Management ? How the concept of Green Buildings will leverage IoT &  BIM  ? How it can influence you Prefabricated Component Manufacturing strategy? The next section helps you answer these questions. Building Control Systems Organizations have developed a network of sensors and software solution to monitor dat
