Waterproofing Failures - Architects, Engineers or Contractors, who is responsible? UAE witnessed significant infrastructural damages, after a storm ripped through the country in early march.
The GEMS American Academy School in Abu Dhabi lost its facades, while Danube metro station was flooded due to this storm. The capital emirate was prompt enough to announce the formulation of new regulations for infrastructures projects, to allow greater resilience against harsh weather conditions. However; the storm and the damages, raised quite a lot of questions on infrastructure waterproofing. Locals are of the opinion that Dubai Municipal Corporation should hire experienced and expert BIM consultants, who can further explain Land Surveyors, Architectural Design Firms, MEP Contractors, General Contractors, Sub-Contractors, about the standards and material required to meet sustainable waterproofing.
6 Critical Reasons you should be talking about Building Information Modeling. Building information modeling allows architects, builders, engineers and developers to gain better control over their projects, and is set to become the standard operating procedure for construction projects of varying scales and complexities.
AEC industry is abuzz with the high value BIM provides. This is why construction firms are increasingly investing in Outsourcing BIM Services to streamline their projects and document each and every process in detail right from the conceptualization, design and fabrication to facility management, renovation and demolition stages. However, several firms still depend on the traditional methods, for construction project documentation and planning. This is because they are still not aware of how BIM can help them manage workflows, visualize information, estimate construction costs accurately and hence get the best returns against the investments in BIM. 3D MEP Coordination : Streamlined Communication Across Construction Projects.

Digital Inequities are a Challenge to the Vision of Smart Cities. Digital Inequities are a Challenge to the Vision of Smart Cities Smart city to be successful should take a structured approach, focusing on open collaboration and infrastructure, but let’s not forget that the priorities for each city are unique.
Several developed and developing countries around the world are determined to establish their own concept of “smart cities,” but do they have a clear-cut, universal definition. All said and done, none of the countries, government authorities, or cities has that clear cut universal definition to smart cities. To address this issue, BIM Implementation for Smart Buildings, is a way to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing for a greater good by encouraging those intended, to work together.
The Great Gearshift in the Move to Sustainable Energy Practices. From May 7 to 11, 2016, Portugal ran entirely on sustainable, clean energy.
Using a mix of hydropower, biofuels, wind, and solar energy, the country put forward an impressive statistic in energy use. This is not surprising considering by end of 2015, over 50% of Portugal’s energy was derived from renewable sources. The same weekend, on a bright and sunny Sunday, Germany made 55 out of the 63 GW that it consumes, from renewable sources of energy. Energy rates plunged to negative, and the producers were effectively paying the consumers to use energy.
Adoption of BIM, Changes the Function of Drawing and Drafting Complex MEP Systems. An efficient MEP system ensures a smoother lifecycle of the facility that it is a part of.
Further, it ensures a reduced impact of the building on the environment. Most of all, an efficient MEP system impacts the building’s usability. In the building design process hierarchy, it comes in after architectural and structural components of the design are completed. Making Retail Buildings - Energy Efficient. Over the last two decades retail sector has changed both commercially and geographically.
The downside of this change has led to growth of big and international corporate retailers, only at the cost of smaller and more local operations. The greater demand of accessibility has altered the conventional style of selling for each retailer, now requiring varied types of location. Shopping malls are growing worldwide, dominating retail and commercial market. The occupants usually have the same concern regarding indoor climate, regardless of geographical location.
Apparently the most important aspect that matters in the energy performance of a shopping mall, is its customer satisfaction, its safety and logistic, the accessibility and range of products and access to public transport and car parking. Almost all retail stores use full air HVAC to maintain indoor comfort temperature, making it more hygienic and sufficient air exchange. Importance of MEP Clash Detection and Resolution for High Rise Hotel Buildings. Building Construction Posted by Hiral Patel on June 22nd, 2016 Irrespective of a new design and construction, or a renovation and retrofit of an existing one, sustainability and green initiatives increasingly drive the design as much as the actual construction process.
Every design practice and contractor knows that its implications go way beyond cosmetic changes. The savings are real; and so must be the change. In the hospitality design and construction industry, particularly, the role of efficient MEP systems cannot be overlooked. 3D Rendering & Real Estate Industry. 3D interiors play a vital role for pre-development marketing campaigns as the more real and tangible your product becomes, there are more chances that the prospective buyer will be inclined to take up your offer. It also is necessary because the buyer is committing to purchase a product which actually doesn’t yet exist. Being an Architect, you may end up spending hours on designing; modifying and refining the best layout of your buildings. You have this incredible ability or the marvel superpower of visualizing your building with utmost accuracy even before it’s built. Why Implementing BIM for Construction is a Good Idea. The AEC industry is transitioning from the traditional paper based linear approach to BIM – a collaborative and technology expedited approach.
Building information modeling brings people across all disciplines and all the involved stakeholders together throughout the entire building design, construction and maintenance stages. Construction firms that are new to BIM can start using it, while those already using BIM can leverage its use and gain the best business benefits.

What could be the biggest challenge in developing infrastructures that meet sustainability standards? One can enumerate a lot of them, but I would want to raise a flag for the one which I think has not been addressed enough and that is—the board of directors of companies and asset managers. Most of these “fiduciaries loyal to their principals” are purely focused on short-term financial performance, but at the cost of the organization they represent and the global community and planet they live in. This might be due to their muddled fundamentals. My suggestion to dramatically improve the situation—and that too with a simple one-page—is to issue a “Statement of Significant Audiences and Materiality,” the one that is published every year by a company’s board of directors. Why are Big Company/Big Investors So Critical to the Developing World?
Materiality is a Function of the Audience. Superior Facility Management System with BIM. Facility owners and managers have become tech savvy. They expect technology to expedite the process of facility management and to make it convenient and efficient. BIM as we all know; allows effective visualization and hence better understanding of problems and their solutions. It also gives facility managers better control over the building information. BIM is the digital representation of a construction process and beyond. It ensures that all the data that is crucial to run a facility smoothly is accumulated throughout the design and construction process.
Besides, using the BIM data by exporting it in facility management system reduces the costs and improves efficiency across the facility management phase to a great extent. This is the reason why, BIM has not only changed the way buildings are designed and constructed, but has also changed the way facilities are managed. Let us understand how virtual modeling process helps develop a superior facilities management system. 3 Types Of 3D BIM Clash Detection Have Their Own Importance.
