Tiivistelmä
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to understand the use of BIM tools in the construction process, create a model of an already built residential building using different Building In-formation Modelling (BIM) software, compare the cost output from two different methods and provide a manual for designing concrete structures using ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures.
To achieve the target, a practical case implementation of BIM in residential building was carried out. It focused on using two key BIM tools, ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures, which were used to create architectural and structural model respectively. The main objective of creating models was to compare the material take-off and compare the cost of materials with actual expenses and carry out structural documentation, 3D visualization and collaboration. The results showed that, there could be significant amount of cost reduction while using these tools.
Comprehensively, this thesis could be beneficial to the architectural and structural enthusiasts. It could be apportioned as a guide to the beginner students of ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures, especially in Nepal
