  Introduction As-built drawings are blueprints used to Renovate specific buildings, bridges, roadways, and other structures. They detail the dimensions and specifications of the final structure so that Renovation can begin efficiently and on budget. As-built drawings are commonly used in renovation projects to verify the design before Renovation begins. An as-built drawing shows what something looks like after it has been built — not how it will look when it is designed. This makes them useful for evaluating changes made during construction instead of relying on a rendering or an architect’s drawings. Due to the increased adoption of  BIM  in construction projects these days we can also see the as-built BIM model, sometimes referred to as  LOD  500 BIM models are also delivered as the final deliverables of the built structure. We can create As-built drawings using laser scanning of the existing facility using  LIDAR . Industrial Site Drawings As-built draw...

  Introduction Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation is consequently challenging, challenges include unstructured data and processes that often lead to time and cost overruns. Having clarity on up to what level of geometry has to be modeled and how much information should include plays an important role in any project which directly affects the time and cost. At this point, LOD comes into the picture, gives clarity, clears many doubts, and sets standard expectations. What is LOD? Level of Detail or Level of Development (LOD) is a theoretical concept to support model development. The idea is that you attach a LOD status attribute to objects in conjunction with standardized reusable checklists. Thus you can, with increased certainty, guarantee a certain quality of  information  at a given point. LOD differs between geometry and properties. A model can be well developed through geometry without having much information concerning the properties of the model. In ...

  Introduction CPM(Construction Progress Monitoring) is the term that plays a very vital role in the execution of any project in the construction industry. Basically, it’s a process of monitoring and tracking the execution progress of any project whether the progression is as per the pre-scheduled plan, and figuring out the issues or on-site challenges. So that immediate mitigation can be done or suggested to avoid time & cost overruns and to keep the progress on track. Current execution process in construction The construction industry has been following traditional practices in execution with very partial use of digital technology tools. Let's say, before starting any construction project, there would be a predetermined integrated schedule for each and every activity which is timelined with respect to the cost. Based on the schedule & sequence of the work processes will get kick-started. So there will be an individual team to execute and to monitor the assigned task throu...
