Abstract
The traditional triple constraints of any project are time, cost and scope that govern the overall
quality of that project. However, many construction projects fail to complete within the appropriate
time and budget. Along with the other technological advancements Building Information
Modeling has been adopted as a potential tools to reduce the negative impact of these factors by
various organization. BIM involves an intelligent 3D modeling and comprehensive
multidimensional analysis to deliver information and to communicate project decisions. Design,
visualization, simulation, and collaboration enabled by BIM provide greater clarity for all
stakeholders across the project lifecycle. BIM makes it easier to achieve goals of project and
business by precise and highly accurate quantity estimation and time scheduling. In addition to
these basic enhancements, BIM also includes clash detection and energy analysis to provide
sustainable construction.
This project involves the application of BIM by creating a 3D model of a “4500 SF house” Using
software Autodesk Revit. Overall analysis involves quantity estimation using Autodesk Revit,
energy analysis using green building studio. By using BIM about 15% cost of the project is
optimized. Energy analysis shows that HVAC load consumes (67%) lights consumes (16%) and
the rest (17%) is used by the other electrical equipment’s. Finally it is concluded that we can make
buildings more efficient by adjusting heating and cooling loads. Our industry must adopt the BIM
tools to get the optimized cost for our project and which increase the probability of project
completion and pre energy analysis must be done because it helps the project to become more
efficient
