BIM DESIGN
We provide BIM services and support to enable design firms to leverage the benefits of BIM for their Projects. These firms can use our services to convert a project design from 2D Drawings to BIM. Our teams can also support them to conceptualize, develop, document and execute complete projects. We have dedicated teams for various disciplines: Exterior Shell, Interiors, Structure, Mechanical, Electrical and AV, Plumbing and Fire, Site development.
BIM CONSTRUCTION
Our BIM teams support Contractors, Construction Managers and Project Managers to coordinate and manage a project through use of BIM. Our team converts designer’s drawings to BIM. Our Constructor’s Models are more detailed and created using ‘visual scheduling’ method – so they can be used for Quantities, Sequencing, FM, etc. in future. During this conversation, various conflicts are also often discovered and resolved. Our services customized for the construction industry cover the project life-cycle from taking it from design consultants to handling it over to the Owner.
Modeling
We build intelligent 3D, 4D and 5D building models of your projects as per Industry best practices, bringing along our immense experience and expertise in Building Information Modeling. We model all disciplines and all types of projects, at various stages of design and construction.
Document
Complete schematic design, design development and construction drawings stage documentation is generated from these models; including drawing sheet sets and schedules of all types. visualization and presentation documents and as built documents are also created in our BIM projects.
Integrate
Use our services to encourage an integrated project delivery, our multi-disciplinary modeling allows all consultants to have their trades built and Integrated through BIM, and allows a coherent, smart and collaborative design process.
Coordinate
Deliver a coordinated project at site, using our clash detection and virtual coordination services, which identify and eliminate conflicts from early on and save time, effort and money at the construction documentation and execution stages.
Construct
Use BIM to extract various constructability exports for use on site; field drawings, fabrication exports, coordinated shop-drawings, 3D visualization of construction activity, site planning, material movement plans, virtual mock-ups for site teams, etc.
Manage
Use our services to enhance our project execution processes like construction logistics, costing, material management, etc. and pass on the benefits of good quality, timely delivery and lesser costs to your clients. Utilize BIM for refined and optimized estimation and management of bid projects.
Operate
Owners and facility managers can utilize our services to build as-built models and documentation with all information and cataloging related to life-cycle assessment and managing the facility. We include aspects of maintenance, repairs, retrofits and building performance in the BIM submittals.
Implement
Gain from our experience of working with the world’s top most design and construction firms, which have been using BIM. Our insight in BIM implementation strategies may add value to your firm’s BIM execution plan and implementation programs.
Architectural design firms extensively collaborate with us for BIM modeling, content development and implementation; it allows them to extract maximum benefits out of BIM, even if they are not fully BIM-capable. Apart from converting 2D drawings to BIM, we also develop a complete project across schematic design- design development- construction drawings stages, through BIM. This includes all drawings, 3D visuals and material take-offs.
Structure BIM Modeling Services
Structural designers use our expertise to execute BIM projects in revit structure. Our BIM team has successfully executed concrete, steel, timber and composite structural systems, along with special structures such as bridges, industrial plants, silos, etc. Apart from converting 2D drawings to revit, we also develop a complete project across schematic design – design development – construction drawings stages, through BIM and other compatible analysis software. This includes all drawings and material take-offs, load analysis and reinforcement.
MEPF BIM Modeling Services
MEP engineers use our expertise to model, document and coordinate mechanical, electrical, medical gas, AV, plumbing and fire protection systems. Apart from converting 2D drawings to revit, we also develop a complete project across schematic design – design development – construction drawing stages, through revit. This includes all drawings and schedules. Revit mep is highly efficient in preliminary design and load analysis. Our 3D families for mep equipment are optimized as required, so the desired level of detail is achieved.
Content Development
We create, extract, standardize and manage BIM content; this includes 2D drafting details, 3D components, project template files, etc. We follow a strict and accurate protocol for how the content should be built, named and accessed. The level of detail in the content is optimized, so that the desired result is achieved, without making the files very slow. Our company specializes in creating smart content and templates for different types of projects and deliverables.
BIM Design Assist
For design firms wanting to utilize BIM to the maximum; to execute a complete project in BIM, we offer our ‘BIM Team’ of architects and engineers, who work as an “Extended Studio” for the designer project manager. This team assists in design development process and can be contracted to work on the project for prolonged duration. The complete schematic design – design development – construction drawings documentation can be done in Revit, for all disciplines.
Apart from conversion (from 2D to BIM) our services as 3rd party integrator are often used by contractors who already have BIM models available from the designers. If required, we add design revisions and/or greater level of detail in the existing models, as required specifically constructor’s need. We audit, refine and integrate files of various compatible 3D formats for further use by contractors or by our internal clash detection team.
Clash Detection
This is one of the most widely used features of BIM; we have a dedicated team for clash detection. Our customized clash reporting format, clash tracking system and accurate detection of clashes makes this one of the most sought after service. Our tem uses the models it has created or those provided by consultants; then integrates them in Revit / Navis Works to produce clash reports. A dedicated clash manager is allocated to each project, who documents and tracks the status and history of each clash.
Coordination
Trade models are updated as per clash resolutions and re-checked for any coordination issues. We add the sub-contractor’s details from the shop drawings, into the models. For each project our company allocates a ‘Virtual Project Coordinator’ who conducts weekly online clash review meetings- bringing together all sub-contractors and the construction manager and resolving each clash individually, till coordinated drawings can be extracted from the models.
Logistics
Our BIM models are extensively used to extract quantities and 4D sequencing / phasing outputs. We incorporate parameters of construction activity according to the bar-chart, which are added to BIM models to study and document sequencing, phasing, site management. We build these models differently – using visual scheduling layering. BIM models built this way can be used to extract IFC exports that can be integrated with various cost estimating and project management softwares.
Field Drawings
We enable clients to take BIM to site – with drawings for execution, assembly and installation. slab-edge plans, slab-chase plans, panel plans, and other such drawings allow fast, accurate and coordinated construction. Since we have multi-disciplinary teams working at our studios, clients get that added advantage in extracting integrated and coordinated drawings. Our BIM models allow for direct exports to fabrication software enabling more off-site fabrication and ‘Just In Time’ delivery.
As-Built and Compatibility
Using mark-ups from sub-contractors, our team incorporates all field changes into the model to deliver ‘As Built’ models for all trades. Our documentation system ensures that each and every revision is properly tracked and documented. We also feed in customized parameters required by the Facility Manage / Owner for future use of FM and Life-Cycle Assessment. We also maintain and manage Owners’ BIM models for large facilities and campuses, if they do not have in-house expertise.
