BIM Coordination

Building information modeling (BIM) and BIM coordination go hand in hand. While BIM modeling is an invaluable tool for efficient construction, it is BIM coordination services that bring it all together. As we know, 3D, 4D, and 5D BIM modeling software are used to visualize architectural models, detect eventual conflicts/clashes in the model, estimate quantity invoices and project cost, and thus reduce costs and time inefficiencies during the actual period of pre-construction.

Our BIM coordination Services:

– Review 3D Models:

Review of 3D models, checking the quality of the models, analyzing quality of metadates, nomenclatures, check if they are following the BEP / LOD matrix and ensuring BIM protocols are followed.

Conduct clash detection and visual walkthroughs using Navisworks Manage:

Clash detection helps in speeding up projects by identifying clashes between several models during the design stage itself, helping engineers, architects and contractors eliminate chances of multi-level design changes which can result into budget overshoot and delay in project completion time.

Using advanced-stage computer-aided 3D modeling, the instances of last-minute hurdles due to inconsistencies in different models are eliminated. As all the things are taken care of during the design stage itself, clash detection saves valuable time, effort, and money throughout the entire BIM Execution Plan during a construction project.

Management and creation of project BEP:

The BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is a fundamental document for the success of the BIM project and represents one of the functional reference tools for the correct management of a BIM order and for the synchronization of the workflow, from the project planning to the management of the construction.

Provide guidance on managing the level of definition (LOD) and on managing information in BIM, helping the engagement team identify their roles.

The BEP analyzes the client’s requests, and the contractual contents present in the Informative Specifications describe through which decision-making phases, means, methods and IT solutions, the work team will conduct and direct the BIM project. In addition, it clearly indicates the roles and responsibilities of the various professionals involved in the team.

Manage / Update BIM Project Documents:

Increase efficiency, improve quality, and reduce risk. By making project information accessible to the project team when and where they need it, a construction docs platform turns document management from a necessary task to the foundation for project success.

3D Model Quantity Extraction / Verification.

BIM originated quantifications and cost estimations are beneficial for the project in every phase of its’ Life Cycle from conception to Operations & Maintenance. Compared to the manual process which is prone to human errors and can require up to 80% of an estimator time, BIM can provide accurate and automated quantification, and assist in significantly reducing variability in quantity estimates. BIM software supports the classification of modeling elements in Categories, Types, and Instances which provide as properties, metric type data for each element or in the format of schedules for all elements belonging to the same category.

Creation of Federated Model, nwd / IFC models through various file formats.

A federated model is a combined Building Information Model that has been compiled by amalgamating several different models into one (or importing one model into another).
