Building Information Modelling: A Boon to the Building Industry

In 2003 The CAD Room was founded in the UK with the aim of easing the burden from big firms involved in design and construction projects. The CAD Room began by providing 2D CAD drawings, and over the years with advances in technology they were also expert in 3D CAD design. In the UK where BIM or Building Information Modelling has been widely embraced by the industry they have led the way, indeed when the UK government announced that BIM would be mandated for use in 2016, they were one of the first companies who had fully embraced BIM services and were able to offer them across the board. With the opening of their UAE office, The CAD Room are able to offer their considerable expertise and experience across the UAE.

The compliance to laws which have not even passed, but soon will become an integral and necessary part of the building industry, means that The CAD Room is a step ahead of the competition. Building Information Modelling is simply put, a process which involves the management and generation of the digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of places (buildings, bridges, schools, housing and the likes).

Every project in UK requires a strict adherence to the BIM regulations which incorporates specific data required for the construction and ongoing management of a building or structure. The light analysis, spatial relationships, quantities and properties of building components and geographic information, all is covered by BuildingInformation Modelling. It was in 2002 that Autodesk released BIM software and presently its latest software Revit is utilised by The CAD Room in order to achieve 3D models which form the basis of BIM compliant projects. Building Information Modelling is part of your construction project which requires a keen eye for detail, first class data standards and careful management.

In terms of professionals requiring the use of Building Information Modelling we find that the data is transmitted from design team to a main contractor and sub contractors and then to owners. Everyone who is involved in this sharing process adds along the way specifics related to the data set. The CAD Room can help and support you to build these models and collate and store the data appropriately, working as an outsourcing firm, operating as an external department to your company, and allowing you to buy in the level of expertise you need to guarantee success.
