For architects and contractors, this can make collaboration easier, particularly when several people are working with the same project information.

Structural BIM Services

The structural system is another important part of a coordinated BIM workflow.

Structural BIM can include foundations, columns, beams, slabs, steel members, concrete elements, reinforcement, and other structural components. These elements can then be coordinated with architectural and MEP information.

This coordination is important because structural elements often occupy the same spaces required by building services.

Identifying these conflicts during the modeling stage gives the project team an opportunity to address them before construction. It can also provide contractors and engineers with clearer information for planning and documentation.

Scan to BIM for Existing Buildings

BIM is not limited to new construction projects. It can also be extremely useful when working with existing buildings.

Renovation and retrofit projects often come with an obvious challenge. The original drawings may be incomplete, outdated, or different from the building's current condition.

Scan to BIM can help solve this problem.

Using laser scanning technology, detailed information about an existing building can be captured as point cloud data. This information can then be converted into a BIM model representing the existing conditions.

A reliable existing condition model can help architects, engineers, and contractors understand the building before renovation work begins. It can be useful for restoration, renovation, retrofit, facility upgrades, and other projects involving existing structures.
