Future Trends in BIM in Revit

There are lots of future possibilities of Building Information Modelling (BIM). the manufacturers must have a wealth of new technologies and tools to acquire the trends in BIM. There should be the willingness of the manufacturer the invest in the new tools and training process to take advantage of BIM trends. Thus, manufacturers can stay updated with the latest developments in this field. The use of BIM objects is common in the construction industry.

BIM future

In this regard, it is important for the manufacturer to prepare for the changes in the BIM objects which helps to ensure that the products are compatible with BIM tools. Thus, manufacturers can unlock new growth opportunities and bring innovation to the design project.

Discussing the top innovative BIM trends which help to shape the future AEC industry

BIM trends

The future BIM possibilities are endless which are discussed as follows:

Relies on the digital twin concept

The ideas behind the use of BIM software have relied on the digital twin concept. This approach helps to assist the users along with visualization and presentation options which is beneficial for construction projects. The simulation and the prediction process also rely on the digital twin concept which offers a massive number of advantages including enhancing the overall performance, improving the division-making process, reducing the chances of rework and others.

Using cloud-based infrastructure

This is another important trend of the BIM approach in Revit software. In this case, information has been stored or processed by using remote servers rather than local storage. The extremely high level of accessibility offered by cloud storage as well as it helps to allow an unprecedented level of communication.

Using laser scanning

This will be another perfect match for BIM in future. The use of a laser scanner helps to showcase the visual representation of the BIM model in Revit software. The use of point-cloud technology is done to convert information into such a format which can be interpreted by BIM tools.

Laser scanning

Using drones

The use of drones is another noticeable trend in the BIM software. Using drones helps to gather real-time information from construction units for multiple purposes. The real-time monitoring of the construction site as well as the communication among the construction sites and the specific tasks can be also done by using drones in BIM.

Sustainability improvement

The analysis of the sustainability factors is important to know how the future building will work. In this regard, the analysis of the building’s CO2 emissions, the quality of the indoor environment, energy consumption and other sustainability factors by using BIM tools influences the work of green energy options including the implementation of solar panels, wind turbines and others. This green construction helps to decrease the negative impacts of the building that has been surrounded by the environment.

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI)

The integration of AI helps to offer faster and more detailed analysis of the data which involves the modification of the elements and other parameters of construction. The use of AI is also effective in detecting delays in the construction process, and irregularities in the construction process, as well as monitoring the construction performances. The suggestions regarding the construction process such as cost estimation, construction sustainability and efficiency have been also given by AI which helps to meet the specific goals of the construction process.

Integrating the Internet of Things (IoT)

The IoT devices can monitor the capabilities of the on-site structures thus helping to control different building systems. This technology also helps to assist BIM tools as well as helps to offer more information thus overall building performance has been increased.

BIM IoT

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) integration

Both of these technologies are useful for BIM software as these technologies help in the detection of clashes as well as help to review the construction project. A detailed overview of the construction project has been also given by VR and AR hardware which helps to offer an unprecedented level of quality as well as helps to provide the user with a new experience.

BIM mandates

In recent days, it has been seen that the government of specific countries have created rules regarding the mandatory use of BIM tools in construction projects. As a result, no contractor or manufacturer can not avoid BIM tools while doing construction projects.

3D printing

This process helps to generate real-life 3D shapes by performing sequential material layering techniques that have been performed through dedicated hardware and pre-programmed computer algorithms. The housing crisis has increased day by day which enhances the demand for mass-produced 3D printed objects, as a result, 3D printing has become the industry leader.

3D printing

Interoperability of the BIM software

It has been seen that the construction team faces challenges in data sharing. In this context, interoperability can be the solution towards this issue as the interoperability helps to simplify the information exchange procedure. The openBIM initiative which has been funded by buildingSMART plays the best role in terms of interoperability. Many BIM software applications support the IFC standards and similar formats which helps to achieve interoperability.
