India: SoftTech, a leading AEC Software & Solutions Company, is proud to announce the launch of its visionary project,”SoftTech’s 2.0 Vision BIMDCR®,” aimed at revolutionizing the way building permissions are managed. The official unveiling of this groundbreaking initiative took place during an event organized by the Urban Development and Urban Housing Department of the Government of Gujarat.
During the event, Mr. Chandrashekhar Bagesar, Vice President of Customer Success at SoftTech and Mr. Abhijit Ghogle, Head of Sales & Alliance, highlighted the transformative potential of BIMDCR®. Their eloquent insights shed light on the future of online building permission systems, moving from conventional 2D models to cutting-edge 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) solutions.
The rapid expansion of urban infrastructure has created a pressing need for innovative approaches to streamline the building approval process. BIMDCR® offers several key advantages for government organizations and the construction industry:
Streamlined Approval Process: BIMDCR® simplifies approval at various stages by comparing approved models with as-built models, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Clash Detection: All clashes and deviations are highlighted on the same model, allowing for quick identification and resolution.
3D Visualization: BIM technology provides a realistic view of structures within a city map or GIS, allowing for remote viewing and efficient collaboration among officers, leading to automated processes and reduced project execution times.
Green Building Code Compliance: BIMDCR® facilitates compliance with green building codes by providing detailed information on materials used and building orientation parameters.
Comprehensive Analysis: Energy analysis, parking management, water consumption monitoring, solar integration, and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations can all be performed using a single 3D BIM model.
In the face of limitations and challenges associated with traditional 2D systems, SoftTech’s BIMDCR® represents a pivotal move towards a more efficient, accurate, and digitally-enabled future for urban development. This visionary project aligns with the mission of Digital India, seeking to enhance departmental revenue and provide greater transparency and efficiency.
The Government of Gujarat’s Urban Development and Urban Housing Department has taken the initiative to adopt BIMDCR® in a phased manner, signaling a significant step forward in the advancement of urban development technology.
SoftTech’s BIMDCR® Vision 2.0 marks a significant milestone in the digital transformation of building permissions systems, promising to revolutionize how cities are designed and built. This visionary project underscores SoftTech’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to the betterment of urban development.
