TIPS FOR EFFICIENT
BIM STRUCTURAL
DESIGN

Plan and Organize
• Plan and organize project requirements,
constraints, and timelines.
• Creating a design brief with the scope of work,
design objectives, and project constraints.
• Define the modeling standards, naming
conventions, and modeling hierarchy.
TIP 1

Tip 2
Use the Right Software
• Choose software that handles complex 3D structural
modeling, analysis, and collaboration.
• Select software that meets your project requirement and
has a user friendly interface, robust modeling tools, and
seamless integration with other software tools.
• Best Structural BIM software are Autodesk Revit and Tekla

Tip 3
Coordinate with Other Services
• Detect clashes with architectural and structural
services
• Save errors during construction by resolving clashes
with BIM coordination

Tip 4
Automate Recitative Tasks
• Automate the repetitive tasks by using scripts and
plugins to save time and improve accuracy
• Use software tools that can automatically generate
Bill of Quantities, Quantity Take Offs, and cost
estimates.

Tip 5
Optimize Design for Efficiency and Sustainability
• BIM structural design allows engineers to simulate and
optimize the structure’s behavior for efficiency and
sustainability.
• Use simulation tools to identify potential design conflicts,
improve structural performance, and optimize material
usage.
• Consider the environmental impact of the structural
design for energy efficiency, water conservation, and
waste reduction.

Tip 6
Validate design with Analysis and Testing
• BIM structural design involves the analysis and testing of the
structural model to validate its behavior under different loads
and conditions.
• Use simulation tools to perform structural analysis, including
seismic analysis.
• Test the design against different scenarios and validate its
performance using real-world data.
