Why Building Information Modeling (BIM) is useful for Integrated Architecture

Integrated Architecture is a norm in current times for Architectural Engineering Services as it seamlessly combines the multiple IT programmes enables the technology to untangle the complex Architectural issues. One of the best invention AEC industry have is Building Information Modeling (BIM) that successfully execute the project from early stages of project design to the entire collaborative construction model.

One of the best benefits of assimilating Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the potential to easily analyze and evaluate programs during designing. Stems from practical experience of architectural professionals, BIM prove to be incredibly powerful for the design process. The coordination between different discipline is comprehensively directed within the 3D model at an initial stage, minimize the technical issues at the site, and the result comes in the form better design information.

The Integrated Architecture offers the BIM content service, a compilation of data-rich 3D BIM content models, designing, and enable them to use in practical projects as part of the fully integrated BIM model. Creation of 3D model in Architecture is the main task for an architect whose result came in the form of 3D representation of architectural variables i.e Visualization, Interior, Landscape and Engineering parts.

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) believe in promoting sustainable environment and energy conservation. Modeling in Architecture is used for various energy-related tasks such as energy performance, evaluation of energy requirement, and optimization of the architectural design. The environmental part is taken care by BIM by working along with environmental Architecture software such as Design-Builder which enable the architects to evaluate the window opening of  ventilation, thermal performance and natural daylighting.

This process is essential as it allows the inception of subdued spaces which let the generation of lower energy buildings and more suitable internal environmental conditions.

BIM overview for Integrated Architecture

  • Better decision maker in terms of design. 
  • Streamlined project progress by means of error-free design.
  • Well-regulated collaboration with disciplines viz. Mechanical or structural.
  • Confirmed documentation of a project.
  •  Implementation of a sustainable environment.
  • 3D Visual communication with a client.
  • Better design control and minimized design errors.
  • Reduction in construction and project duration.
The above advantages have upgraded the process of architectural design, control, and duration.

Rebar: A Better Option Over Steel In Construction Project

Rebar is an acronym for reinforced steel bar and it is one of the fundamental components of construction today. Rebar has a high tensile strength and hence it is used along with concrete for building seismic structures. Even though steel is an option used for building, rebar is widely used today. And why is it so? It is due to the advantages it offers in comparison to steel. Let us look at all those benefits of using rebar in construction:

1. Corrosion resistance:
The buildings that experience heavy rainfall require resistance to corrosion. Rebar offers high corrosion resistance. Hence, it is perfect for use in heavy rainfall areas and irrigation fields. Rebar does not have effects of chlorine on it. This makes rebar a best-suited material for dams or reservoirs where the chlorinated water always remains in contact with it.


2. Extremely durable:
The steel is much more fragile than rebar. The chances of breakage increase for steel members due to external forces or climatic forces during the time of welding. Rebar does not get affected easily like steel members. Moreover, rebar retains its shape when the fire is applied during welding.

3. Longevity:
Rebar is as much as five times stronger than steel when dealing with environmental impacts acting on it. Since the impacts of the environment are less on rebar, it can be used for structures requiring a longer lifetime. 


4. A good alternative for special requirements:
Some critical features in construction require materials that do not need frequent repairs. While constructing such structures, rebar can be used instead of steel so as it does not require repairs in future for a long time. Rebar remains immune to environmental attacks and hence it is a good choice for certain structures.

5. Economic:
Rebar is more economical than steel. It has attributes like high mechanical strength and more resistance to corrosion making its thickness less compared to other materials. Hence, the weight of rebar decreases without compromising on its quality. A lightweight rebar is more convenient to use for transportation. The cost of transportation reduces for lightly weighted rebar compared to heavy steel making rebar a more economical option.
