BIM
The rapid emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM) continues to revolutionise the way architecture, engineering and construction firms work together to communicate, solve problems, and build better projects.
As many firms have now seen their construction work switch to retrofit, refurbishment and renovation projects, we have developed an exclusive 3D surveying and CAD/ Revit modelling department to encompass these projects and support the BIM survey process from project outset.
Delivering the highest level of expertise, we have been providing advanced 3D BIM survey services for many years and we are proud to have achieved the prestigious Kitemark for BIM Level 2. Our bespoke data processing software and tailored workflows will extract value and precision from your BIM investment.
We are the first dedicated BIM survey company in the UK and Ireland to achieve the prestigious BSI Kitemark™ for BIM Level 2 (Design and Construction).
BIM Methodology
BIM is the process of managing the information produced during a construction project into a common format. BIM describes the practice of designing a project collaboratively using one coherent system of data-rich models. When correctly implemented, BIM offers enormous gains in saving time and cost, much greater accuracy in estimation, and the avoidance of error, alterations and rework.
Adopting BIM involves much more than simply changing the software you use. To achieve all the benefits it offers, everyone in the architecture, engineering and construction industries will have to learn to work in fundamentally new ways.
What problems can BIM solve?
- Design coordination and collaboration
- Clash detection
- Cost estimation and analysis
- Construction sequencing and scheduling
- Facility management and maintenance
What are the benefits of BIM?
- Reliable, accurate data reduces the risks associated with project execution.
- Reduces the costs and downtime associated with construction rework, site revisits and field changes.
- A single, shared knowledge source improves collaboration, communication and workflows.
- Highly-detailed data improves decision-making and engineering designs.
How accurate is BIM?
Collecting accurate, carefully controlled and detailed measurements, we use raw data from 3D laser scanning to produce intelligent precise models using BIM software to meet the needs of the project to the standards set out by the BSI Kitemark.
What can BIM be used for?
To reduce the expense of infrastructure possessions, preventing the costly knock-on effect of delays to rail and costly traffic management to roads.
To optimise energy performance, reduce costs, and minimise risks associated with property development and management.
To enable the creation of 3D digital models of facilities, allowing stakeholders to visualise various aspects of a project, from design and construction to operation and maintenance.
To improve project coordination, reduced errors, clashes and rework, enhanced communication between stakeholders; enables more effective planning, maintenance, and operation of utility systems.
To streamline project planning and design as well as improve coordination and facility management. This reduces conflicts and errors in manufacturing facilities.
