Architectural Planning And 3d Bim Modelling Of A G+5 Building Using Autodesk Revit & E-Tabs Design

Abstract

This project, titled “Architectural Planning and 3D BIM Modelling of a G+5 Building Using Autodesk Revit,” focuses on the comprehensive planning, design, and digital modelling of a multi-story building using advanced Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology. The main objective of this project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of BIM in improving accuracy, coordination, and efficiency in modern construction practices compared to traditional 2D drafting methods. The project begins with the selection of a suitable plot and identification of functional requirements for a G+4 building. Architectural planning is carried out by considering essential factors such as space utilization, ventilation, natural lighting, circulation, and user comfort. Proper zoning of spaces including living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, and service areas is ensured to achieve an efficient and practical design. The planning is also carried out in accordance with standard building bylaws and safety regulations. After the planning phase, a detailed 3D model of the building is developed using Autodesk Revit. BIM enables the creation of an intelligent digital model where each building component such as walls, doors, windows, floors, and staircases contains both geometric and functional information. One of the key advantages of BIM is that any changes made in the model are automatically updated throughout all views, including plans, elevations, and sections, thereby reducing errors and saving time. The project also involves the generation of detailed architectural drawings directly from the BIM model, including floor plans, elevations, and sectional views. In addition, schedules for doors, windows, and materials are prepared using Revit’s automated features, which help in quantity take-off and cost estimation. Visualization tools such as 3D views and renderings are used to present a realistic representation of the building, enhancing understanding and communication among stakeholders.
In conclusion, this project highlights the importance of BIM technology in the construction industry and demonstrates how Autodesk Revit can be effectively used for architectural planning and modelling. The use of BIM not only improves design accuracy and efficiency but also supports better decision-making, coordination, and overall project management, making it an essential tool for modern civil engineering projects.
