 On any type of project, the adoption of an effective BIM workflow is the key
to success!
 Structural engineers and technicians use many different design tools to
achieve 3D rebar production
 As BIM adoption grows, new technologies will adapt and become more
integrated in the main platforms
 There is an opportunity to harness BIM data from these design tools to better
streamline and connect engineers to technician BIM workflows
 GRAITEC's Revit-based reinforcement design software is bridging the gap
delivering real advantages for RC frame structures
 Using BIM data to design and produce 3D rebar cages and drawings,
embracing the future of making things!

 Multiple software solutions
 Model based, tabular = inconsistent BIM output
 Sharing digital documentation
 Design reports and associated documentation (2D)
 Disjointed workflow
 Elongated repetitive process prone to time wastage and errors
 Minimal reuse of BIM data
 Lack of trust based on poor collaboration experience
Industry Challenges - Engineer

 BIM software for generic geometry
 “BIM software is not yet suited to detailing RC”
 Disconnected software systems
 Detailing in a separate RC-detailing system
 Engineering data as 2D digital documentation
 Elongates the detailing process with much rework
 RC-detailing software is often 2D
 Cut off from the BIM process and instantly outdated
