We provide BIM services on mechanical and electrical systems in a built development.

 

Use of BIM goes beyond the planning and design phase of the project, extending throughout the building life cycle, supporting processes including cost management, construction management, project management and facility operation. The BIM concept envisages virtual construction of a facility prior to its actual physical construction, in order to reduce uncertainty, improve safety, resolve problems, and simulate and analyze potential impacts.

 

We provide BIM services to both M&E Consultants and M&E Sub-contractors to input critical information into the model before beginning construction, with opportunities to pre-fabricate or pre-assemble some systems off-site. Quantities and shared properties of materials can be extracted easily. Waste can be minimised on-site and products delivered on a just-in-time basis rather than being stock-piled on-site.

 

BIM prevents errors by enabling conflict or 'clash detection' whereby the computer model visually highlights parts of the building (e.g.: structural frame and building services pipes or ducts) that may wrongly intersect.
