 Architecture designing services has been 
a major factor driving infrastructure and 
real estate sector. Now, the arrival of BIM 
is shaping the future if architectural plan  
ning and designing. 
 Building Information Modeling helps 
architects throughout the design process. 
 The architectural BIM models give a clear 
insight to optimize designs as per the 
requirements of the contractors and 
builders. 
 Architectural planning and designing help 
to deliver projects with improved quality 2
and efficiency.

 Using Building Information Modeling, architects are developing 
intelligent, 3D models of complex projects. 
 It gives them a deeper understanding of how the building will look and 
work after the construction. 
 Architectural 3D models improve collaboration, visualization and allow 
accurate analysis. 
 Contractors and builders who use architectural BIM models get more 
work done in less time. 
 The 3D visual models of architectural designs made it easier to get 
approvals from authorities. 
 The construction efficiency also increases as the reports for material 4
quantity takeoff, BOM comes along with architectural 3D models.

3) Elimination of errors: 
Preparation of architectural 
engineering designs is a complex 
process. The intelligence of 
Building Information Modeling 
makes it easier to spot and solve the 
errors. It reduces the chances of the 
rework and saves both cost and 
time. The result is precise and 
detailed architectural designs in a 
more understanding format.

Beyond coordination and 
visualization, architects 
integrate their architectural 
designs with MEP and 
structural layout to create a  
virtual walkthrough and 
augmented reality for the 
planned design. After the 
design is decided, construction 
can be animated in a 
sequential way with various 
LODs as per AIA standards.  9

Architectural BIM services are beneficial throughout the construction 
process
1) Pre-construction period:
       i) Ease of planning
       ii) Accuracy in BOM, material   
          planning and     QTS
       iii) Getting faster approvals      
            from tender
       iv) BIM documentation

 Building Information Modeling also helps in environmental planning to 
make the construction project more sustainable. 
 Construction activity is one of the main cause of environmental 
pollution. Using architectural BIM models to plan the construction 
reduces the adverse impact on the environment by eliminating the 
need for a rework.   
 BIM allows the architects to concentrate on their creative interior 
designs. Instead of preparing 2D architectural drawings, architects can 
make 3D, 4D and 5D models by placing intelligent objects that contain 
vital information. 
 Before construction work is done on-site, the virtual designs are now 
built-in 3D environment. All these benefits of BIM modeling have 
promoted the rate at which architects deliver the designs.
