Building Information Modeling for Architecture and Types of Modeling

BIM for architecture and type of modeling, is the virtual construction technique through which a project's design takes shape. At Modelo Integrado Studio, we develop all our architecture projects with the BIM methodology, and this allows us to reduce the number of design mistakes, shorten delivery times, manage changes, and quickly extract plans from the BIM model thanks to the standardization of these processes at our office.

The implementation of the BIM methodology allows us to build virtual models with a high level of detail (LOD) that we can use to extract even greater detail to completely examine the project with its exact measurements and technical specifications. Additionally, they can be used to create 4D, 5D, and 6D modeling.

The LOD of our models changes according to the client and project requirements and always meet the basic characteristics that will be used during the entire lifecycle of the project, such as:

• 3D Modeling: During this stage, the geometric information of the project is created, focusing on its control and quality.


• 4D Modeling: Here, parameters are added, focusing on time, logistics, programming, planning, and project simulation.


• 5D Modeling: Incorporates everything related to costs, the amount of materials, budget, and spending estimates into the model in order to improve profitability.


• 6D Modeling: A project sustainability model is delivered, as well as an energy analysis and the management of all resources and equipment in order to guarantee that the project functions properly for years to come.

Architectural models and specialties that are made with the BIM methodology allow us to virtually create comprehensive architectural models. This also allows us to accurately obtain the technical data and traditional building features needed to create a consistent project with fewer errors.
