What is the BIM Model: A Comprehensive Guide to Building Information Modelling
The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has long struggled with rising costs, delayed timelines, and poor communication. These issues often stem from inefficient collaboration among key stakeholders, such as architects, contractors, engineers, owners, designers, facilities managers, and onsite teams. Incomplete, inaccurate, and ambiguous production information can account for 25% to 30% of construction costs,…

10 Effective Steps to Conduct On-Site BIM Coordination
The latest National BIM Report shows that 73% of construction processes in the UK have adopted BIM. This adoption is driven by the increasing complexity of construction projects involving various disciplines, like architecture, structural engineering, and MEPF (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and Fire). As these projects expand, the challenge becomes effectively synchronising these diverse teams and…

SD, DD, and CD Drawings Explained for Successful Construction
Imagine building a house. You wouldn’t start with the bricks and mortar without first knowing the blueprint, right? In the construction industry, that blueprint is created through a series of design phases, each playing a unique and crucial role. These phases—Schematic Design (SD), Design Development (DD), and Construction Documents (CD) drawings—are the backbone of any…
