How BIM Saved a Skyscraper Project: A Clash Detection Case Study

Image
  From the Project Files of a BIM Manager on a 72-Story Challenge When I first walked into the coordination meeting for SkyRise 72 —a 72-story mixed-use skyscraper in the heart of a seismic zone—I had no idea that Building Information Modeling (BIM) would soon become our project's lifeline. What began as an ambitious tower almost became a coordination nightmare—until clash detection turned chaos into clarity. The Project: Vertical Complexity in Action Location : Urban metro zone in a high-seismic-risk region Height : 312 meters / 72 floors Use : Commercial + Residential + Podium Parking + Helipad Tools Used : Revit, Navisworks Manage, BIM 360, Dynamo, and later, Tekla Structures for steel coordination Our BIM Execution Plan (BEP) defined Level of Development (LOD) 300 for design coordination, escalating to LOD 400 for structural and MEP elements during shop drawing development. Weekly model updates were mandated through a CDE (Common Data E...

Rise of BIMBots: Automating Repetitive BIM Tasks with AI Agents

Image
  How the next wave of BIM evolution is being driven by intelligent automation ?   In the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), precision and consistency are king—but anyone working in the trenches knows that many of the tasks that demand these qualities are repetitive, tedious, and prone to human error. Enter the BIMBot : AI-powered agents designed to automate time-consuming BIM workflows, freeing up designers and modelers to focus on creative, strategic problem-solving.   Let’s explore how these intelligent agents are transforming the BIM lifecycle—from model validation to document generation—and what that means for the future of the AEC industry.   What is a BIMBot ?   A BIMBot is essentially an AI-powered assistant or agent integrated into BIM environments like Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, or cloud-based CDEs. These bots are trained to perform specific rule-based or learning-driven tasks such as:   Batch parameter editing   Model cleanup...
