Dynamo takes BIM to the next level

What is Dynamo? Dynamo is a visual programming tool that works with Revit. Dynamo extends the power of Revit by providing access to the Revit API (Application Programming Interface) in a more accessible manner. Rather than typing code, with Dynamo you create programs by manipulating graphic elements called “nodes” In Dynamo, each node performs a specific task. Nodes have inputs and outputs. The outputs from one […]

BIM + AI = ALICE Technologies

Planning a construction project is a gigantic assignment. It a complex effort to match contractors availability, materials and building sequence. Once the schedule is in place still difficult to really tell if it’s the most efficient meeting all project criteria. ALICE breaks down the individual components of the building to understand the scope of the […]

The benefits of using BIM

Construction project managers that have used BIM technology see the advantages of such process. They say that BIM helps facilitate the flow of information across multiple project channels. A study done by Dodge Data & Analytics showed 43% of surveyed contractors reported more efficient project-wide communication when BIM was implemented. The end result for construction […]

How to improve design process using BIM?

During the project study and design phases. Using the BIM process allows you to quickly create and review multiple design scenarios and easily convey those options to the client while maintaining a single model. BIM offers different tools to create schematic massing models, as well as detailed construction-ready models, without losing any of the design […]

BIM periodic table

  NBS’s Periodic Table of BIM is an interesting way to visualize steps that are necessary to a successful BIM implementation. Inspiring by the periodic table of elements, the NBS’s table presents the important elements of BIM in way easy to visualize and nice to keep as reference. Please find below how the table is structured […]

Find a list with the different software available for those wanting to explorer the BIM world. Document Management Autodesk BIM 360 Planning & Design Autodesk Revit Architecture Graphisoft […]

What are the BIM Levels?

One of the standardized tools to measure the degree of implementation (or maturity) BIM in a project is precisely the BIM Levels. It is a simple scale created by the government of the United Kingdom (NBS) that allows us to quickly recognize at what stage we are with respect to the use of BIM in […]

Why BIM?

The model-based approach increases efficiency within individual organizations and on the project coordination delivery. Building information modeling can drive time and budget savings for building and infrastructure projects. Please find below some key benefits. For designers and  supply chain partners, benefits include: Thought the standards it is possible to increase collaboration, make delivery process easier […]
