The construction of the building on a computer is also referred to as building information modeling. The model is a virtual model and it is built in 3D before it is physically developed. The 3D model can be rotated, moved like a real object.
The building model that is constructed in the computer will display each and every view of the building. The walls, floors, doors, and other architectural elements are viewable through the model.
The biggest advantage of the building information modeling is to avoid unexpected clashes that can result later on when the building will be developed in the real world. The building thus produced will be more accurate and the results delivered will be highly effective. The elevations, sections, floor plans will be displayed with the virtual model.
Another advantage is that once the 3D model is done, generating other drawings is an error free process. A change in on drawing is reflected in other related drawings. For example a movement will automatically show up in the other co-related drawings. But, before this everything was done manually and the design was prone to error.
Other information related to material takeoffs and area statements are also provided and if there is certain change it is notified immediately and also modified so that there is a change in the 3D model.
The building information model will soon become a basic tool to architecture and construction. It has to be considered very important for buildings, so that the results are delivered instantaneously.
