Building Information Modelling (BIM) … So Clashes Appear on Screen, Not on Site

A pipe running through a beam, an HVAC duct lowering a ceiling, or an opening no one accounted for. These issues cost little when discovered in the model, and much more when discovered after concrete has been poured.

When?

When Do You Need This Service?

Systems-Intensive Project

A factory, hospital or tower, where disciplines intersect at every metre.

Recurring Site Clashes

Work stops to resolve issues that could have been identified before construction.

Authority Requires a Model

Some major projects require models to be submitted in a specified format and at a defined level of development.

Documenting What Was Actually Built

An As-Built model that supports future operation, maintenance and expansion.

Scope

What the Service Includes

Discipline Modelling

Architectural, structural and MEP models combined into a single model at an agreed level of development.

Clash Detection

Systematic checks of intersections between disciplines, with a clash report and proposed solutions.

Model Coordination

Coordination sessions with project parties through to clash resolution, not simply identifying them.

Quantity Take-Off

Quantities extracted directly from the model, updating automatically with each revision.

As-Built Documentation Models

Updating the model to reflect what was actually built on site.

Delivery in the Required Format

According to the requirements of the authority or lead consultant.

FAQs

What People Ask Most Often

Is BIM worthwhile for small projects?

It depends. For a simple villa, traditional coordination may be sufficient, while in a multi-storey building or industrial facility, early clash detection can be more cost-effective than resolving issues on site.

What level of development do you work to?

It is defined according to the purpose: a coordination model differs from a model for quantity take-off or one intended for operation. We agree on it in writing as part of the scope of work.

Do we receive the model file itself?

Yes, within the scope and delivery format agreed upon in the scope of work.

We have 2D drawings — can you convert them into a model?

Yes. This is a common request for documenting existing buildings before expansion or rehabilitation.
