  Introduction The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction  (AEC) industry  is on the verge of a digital revolution. Tools like  Building Information Modeling  (BIM) and real-time 3D software promise enhanced efficiency and innovation. However, despite these advancements, the industry remains highly fragmented. Stakeholders often rely on disconnected systems, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunications, and project delays. As the  construction  landscape becomes more complex, the need for a unified platform to streamline operations and foster collaboration has never been more urgent. Understanding the Digital Divide in AEC The  AEC sector  encompasses multiple specialized domains such as design, engineering, construction, procurement, and facility management. Each of these areas has developed its  own systems and tools, often resulting in data silos that hinder information flow between teams. The Effects of Fragmentation Isolated In...

  Timely Incomplete Design Information Sharing and Communication : In traditional 2D CAD design, the different participants have to wait for each other’s design completion; the data deliverable are piled in silos before they can be exchanged between the design teams. In such a case, data can become obsolete, in other words, the data goes to waste. In contrast, In  BIM -based design, early and timely exchange of incomplete  information  between participants is enabled by sharing and integrating the  building information models  of the teams at any point in time. This allows real-time design adjustments and development. The information is then always up-to-date, and the clear design intent visualization facilitates communication between players and allows for  continuous information flow  instead of interrupting the batch flow. Idle Time The BIM-based design phases clearly show the reduction in delays as opposed to the  traditional  design...

  Introduction In today's complex construction environment, integrating  Building Information Modelling (BIM)  with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like SAP is becoming increasingly essential. This integration enables businesses to bridge the gap between physical construction and financial management, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of  project delivery.  This article delves into the synergy between BIM models and SAP systems, examining the requirements, use cases, and challenges of such integrations. We'll also explore how companies like Desapex facilitate these integrations, focusing on the architecture of SAP infrastructure and BIM solutions, specifically within platforms like  Autodesk Construction Cloud . Understanding BIM and SAP Integration Building Information Modelling (BIM)   and  SAP ERP systems  are pivotal technologies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, as well as in the realm of e...

Introduction Quantity surveying in the Engineering and Construction industry focuses on the quantities, cost, and budget of the projects. A quantity surveyor is associated with the planning, design, construction (or demolition/reconstruction) phases. Right from a plan being drawn and until a large construction project has been completed, a quantity surveyor is likely to be involved in a legal, technical and financial capacity. A Quantity Surveyor is an expert in the art of costing a building/infrastructure at all its stages who offers expert advice on construction costs.   A Quantity Surveyor will be responsible for helping to estimate costs, quantities, and project timelines and providing this information to clients. He / She will be liaising with a variety of other teams and helping to keep a project on track. Importance of Quantity Takeoff and Required Documents The quantity of material in a project can be accurately determined from the drawings. The estimator must review each s...
