The Limitations of BIM: What We’re Not Talking About Enough
We celebrate BIM for its ability to model the built environment in stunning detail, but we rarely pause to discuss the bottlenecks that prevent it from becoming the industry standard it promises to be. Having worked with teams across disciplines — from design consultants to contractors and facility managers — I’ve seen the promise of […]
Work with Central Models – Part 3
The BIM 360 Collaborative Approach for Central Models BIM 360 represents a modern cloud-based development from the concept central model. It simplifies collaboration among teams that are distributed, providing real-time access to the model, reliable version control, and improved monitoring of projects. Setting Up the Central Model on BIM 360 1. Upload the Central Model […]
Working With Central Models Part 2
In environments where cloud connectivity or BIM 360 is not preferred, a non-BIM 360 approach to central Revit models can be highly efficient. This traditional method relies upon a manual synchronization process and a setup of a local wireless network. How to Set Up a Traditional Central Model 1. Create the Central Model Organize your […]
Central Models Explained in Revit
The backbone of collaboration on Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects using Revit is the central model. The central model is the single repository for all project data for any BIM project, where any change made is tracked, synchronized, and integrated into the project lifecycle. What Is a Central Model? The central model is the repository […]
Data in BIM: A Human-Centered Future in Construction
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is more than just a digital blueprint. It is an evolving system that incorporates extensive data throughout the process of maintenance and construction. This process not only increases efficiency and collaboration between professionals but also transforms the ways structures are planned and built. It also improves the way they are managed. […]
Common Data Environment: A Single Source of Truth
In the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM) A Common Data Environment (CDE) is far more than just a digital file cabinet. It’s an organized and collaborative platform that stores and handles all project data including 3D models to contracts. Its aim is straightforward yet transformative: provide a single source of truth so all stakeholders–architects, […]
How BIM Enhances Facility Management
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is often associated with design and construction, but its benefits extend far beyond the initial building phase. The real power of BIM lies in its ability to enhance facility management (FM)—helping owners and operators efficiently manage buildings throughout their entire lifecycle. By integrating digital twins, asset tracking, predictive maintenance, and real-time […]
BIM 360: Revolutionizing Design and Collaboration in Construction

BIM 360, developed by Autodesk, is a cloud-based platform that brings teams together, offering solutions for design, construction, and documentation. This article explores what is BIM 360, its features, and how it streamlines workflows for design and construction professionals. What […]
What Is Building Information Modeling (BIM)?
A Comprehensive Overview Building Information Modeling (BIM) is reshaping the construction industry, offering a digital-first approach to planning, designing, and managing building projects. BIM is not just a tool; it’s a collaborative process that integrates data and technology to streamline construction workflows. Let’s delve into the basics of BIM, its applications, and why it is […]
Health Hazards In Construction Site
“BIM SERVICES All things in life come at a price” – so does the construction business. People in the construction business built, repair, demolish, modify and renovate various buildings. Those who work on a construction site use a lot of tools and heavy machinery to carry out their daily activities. Working on these construction sites […]
