Nova Polymers BIM | ARCAT
Nova Polymers’ BIM/ARCAT integration offers architects, designers, and sign fabricators a resource for accessing detailed Building Information Modeling (BIM) objects and specifications.
3-part CSI Product Specifications for Interior and Tactile Signage
Nova Polymers has created Sections 101415 Interior Signage and 101467 Tactile Signage specifications for use by architects and designers. These specifications are then incorporated into the master specifications for commercial projects.
You can download and create a 3-part spec using Spec Wizard from Arcat.com.
BIM Advantages in Building
Construction
Building Information Model or BIM is the process of developing a building model that is used in presenting and visualizing building components, construction sequences, resource allocation and other disciplines of the construction process in a virtual environment. Building Information Model is an object-oriented building progress tool that utilizes 4D modeling concepts along with Autodesk Revit, Tekla structure, and ArchiCAD software to design and build a building, as well as communicate its essentials.
The BIM process generates 3D Models encompassing geometric and geographic information about the building and the properties of its components. If you ask building owners and operators, they will tell you numerous advantages of BIM and the significant benefits of using building information modeling (BIM) during the building construction life cycle.
Advantages of BIM to Building Contractors
- BIM provides a good estimation during bidding and procurement
- BIM improves coordination in construction sequencing
- Effective marketing presentation of construction approaches
- BIM helps in identifying possible conflicts that may arise during building construction
- BIM allows for more “what if” analysis, such as construction sequencing options, shuffling of human resources, fine-tuning cost factors, etc.
- BIM helps clients and end-users understand and visualize the end product
- BIM helps owners make informed decisions about the proposed project
Benefits of BIM to the Building Designer
- BIM allows designers to use sophisticated web-based tools that connect the project’s program to other BIM tools such as Tekla, Revit, and ArchiCAD
- Designers have a scope to incorporate eco-friendly design aspects before the commencement of the project
Advantages of BIM to Cost Engineer
The BIM model allows for better cost estimation of human resources, raw materials, and structural components.
Construction and building projects are dynamic in nature, and the status of construction changes frequently as time progresses. Most civil engineers plan their projects based on primary filed drawings, which are prone to frequent changes during the execution period. The 4D BIM model not only provides a visual aid but also allows the building owner to perform a “what-if” analysis. With Building Information Modeling, construction documents are produced more easily, allowing architects to spend more time on the building design.
