BIM at LOD400: Why Level of Development 400 matters for design and virtual construction

BD+C

By broadening design to anticipate construction issues and delivering a fabrication-ready model, engineers can create more certainty in cost, schedule, and design intent. It is this uncertainty that is the breeding ground for risk, unmet cost and schedule expectations, and loss of trust between project partners.

BIM for Reinforced Concrete – From Design to Detailing in One Model

BIM & Beam

This is the third blog post in a series that discusses the advantages of working on concrete projects in a BIM process for structural engineers. Take, for example, a precast concrete wall. Segmentation is dictated by engineering, architectural, or fabrication requirements, and its reinforcement is determined by the structural engineer.

Guidelines for rebar detailing of RCC structures

Construction Cost Estimating

Reinforcement Detailing or Rebar detailing is a detailed construction engineering process normally accomplished by the Rebar fabricators, structural engineering consultants or the contractors for generating ‘shop/placing’ drawings or shop drawings and bar bending schedule of steel reinforcement for construction.

Innovative Approaches and The Role of Reinforced Concrete

BIM & Beam

The Martin/Martin CES team has innovatively addressed the issue of fragmented fabrication drawing production that design and construction teams consistently encounter with today’s increasingly tight project delivery schedules. This process allows delivery of the first package of shop drawings (reviewed and approved!)

What’s the difference between RFIs, Submittals and Specifications?

Fieldwire

In construction, a Request For Information (RFI) seeks the clarification of plans, drawings, specifications, and agreements. During the construction process, the contractor encounters a discrepancy between the architectural plans and the structural drawings. Assume that a construction project involves building a new hospital.
