Building Information Modeling

The Increasing Importance of BIM for Civil Engineering

January 4, 2021 By EMI

This is a guest blog by Roger Liucci

BIMEvery building project, no matter how small, comes with many aspects to consider and disciplines to reconcile. Sometimes, that’s the hardest part — having everyone work together without getting in each other’s way. For decades now, architects, engineers, and building contractors have looked for ways to resolve this problem, as well as cut project costs and increase efficiency. Finally, it seems that the solution is here, in the form of BIM.

What Is BIM?

BIM stands for building information modeling, and it can be understood in two ways: as a process and as software. In both cases, BIM helps coordinate all aspects of the building project and allows the team to collaborate. Aside from that, it lets civil engineers troubleshoot the building before it’s even built and explore different options for project completion.

In this episode of The Structural Engineering Channel podcast, we talk to Marcello Sgambelluri, PE,SE., the Director of Advanced Technology at John A. Martin & Associates. He talks about BIM(Building Information Modeling) and how it is evolving, and also shares his thoughts on the roles that structural engineers and drafters will play during this exciting technological time in structural engineering.

Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Marcello in This Episode:

  • Why is BIM so ever-evolving in the structural engineering industry?
  • Do you think engineers of the future will need to keep up with all the technologies, coding, and scripting?
  • How can structural engineers learn more about BIM? 
  • What is the role of structural engineers and drafters in the future?

Here Are Some of the Key Points Discussed in This Episode:

BIM as an Effective Tool in Project Management

September 5, 2018 By EMI

BIM as an Effective Tool in Project Management is a guest post by Shakti Prasad

BIMBIM (Building Information Modeling) has been revolutionizing the AEC industry in terms of economic and technical viability, over the past few years. The advantages of the long-term application of BIM can be leveraged most efficiently in the field of project management. The need for management of an asset is a continuous process; from inception to demolition, a true cradle to grave cycle which involves handling large volumes of data, handling a lot of responsibilities, and so on for which BIM is the one-stop solution. Project managers need to embrace Building Information Modeling, interrogate the BIM information and reap the maximum benefits out of it for effective project management.

How Building Information Modeling (BIM) facilitates effective project management?

There are 2 broad aspects of Building Information Modeling which enables it in facilitating project management:

BIM stands for Building Information Modeling

BIM stands for Building Information Modeling.  In episode 029 of The Civil Engineering Podcast, my co-host Christian Knutson, PE interviews Ronan Collins who is an experienced Building Information Modeling Project Manager specializing in the production of detailed and accurate BIM models for the purpose of design and construction coordination.

Here are some of the questions Chris asks Ronan about BIM (Building Information Modeling):

  • What are the key benefits BIM brings to a project?
  • Is it a design software?  An integrated project management software?
  • What are the benefits a civil engineer – and the end stakeholder – receives from employing BIM?
  • Where do you see BIM taking the civil engineering profession in 10 years?
  • What are the investment costs associated with starting BIM capability in a firm?  Is this scalable, or a one-time cost?  What is the typical time frame for ROI?
  • What are three things I, as a company owner, want to be aware of when selecting the BIM software my firm will use?  Is there an industry standard?
  • Is there a “best practice” for the type of facility to apply Building Information Modeling to?
