Structural BIM Services | Structural BIM Modeling

Streamline the structural documentation and work collaboratively for accelerated fabrication and construction process.

Advancements in CAD and parametric modeling have given birth to building information modeling. In its simplest form, BIM is a tool to manage the different construction phases efficiently. BIM is an evolved version of software used for parametric modeling for manufacturing mechanical components. Nowadays, sophisticated BIM software like REVIT® Structure has the capabilities to expedite the process of structural drafting and designing. BIM gives complete control over your construction process, from the initial drafting phase to the post-construction management and operations phase.

BIM For Structural Engineers

BIM For Structural Engineers – effectively manage construction documents, design iterations, quantity-takeoffs

Structural BIM modeling services help increase workflow efficiency by ten folds.

We help you create structural BIM models with data-driven information. The structural BIM models hold all the relevant information regarding the structure's steel columns, beams, and rebar. An accurate BIM model benefits all project stakeholders and allows for an efficient and hassle-free process for construction that saves time and money. It also helps reduce potential errors and clashes in the early stages of the project.

Create informative 3D models with fabrication, rebar, and precast details. Do the holistic structural analysis, and iterate design changes efficiently. Structural BIM enables collaboration between contractors, architects, and fabricators, directly increasing working efficiency.

Structural 4D Modeling Services

Plan the sequencing of the construction phase as per your requirements. Create project milestones and activities, and share the data between the stakeholders hassle-free. Proper scheduling reduces unforeseen delays.

Structural 5D Modeling Services

Precisely estimate the material requirements and quantity take-offs. Set bidding goals and manage material inventory flawlessly. With structural 5D BIM modeling mitigating budgetary risks also become unchallenging. Produce accurate BOQ (Bill Of Quantity) and BOM (Bill Of Material).

Structural Clash Detection

Detect early clashes in the design through structural BIM. BIM helps in the detection of soft and hard design clashes. Rectify conflicts in the early design phase saving time and money. Structural BIM also helps detect workflow clashes that can cause delays during the construction phase.

Structural Coordination Services

Coordinate your structural designs with other disciplines involved in the construction project. Check the design constructability and feasibility. Multi-disciplinary coordination helps in expeditious design analysis and development.

Precise Construction Documents

We help you produce curated S-series structural documents. We host dedicated, experienced drafters that make proficient designated structural construction documents. The documents we generate hold proper nomenclature and follow all the required US standards.

Detailing Drawings For Fabrication

We produce accurate fabrication detailings in 3D, with proper material estimations and precise placement of the elements. In addition, we extract coordinated 2D drawings of rebar, precast, columns, beams, steel framework, and miscellaneous steel components for hassle-free fabrication, assembly, and erection.

REVIT For Structural Engineers – achieve improved productivity, constructability, and profitability

We leverage state-of-the-art Autodesk REVIT to provide high-standard REVIT BIM services to our clients in the USA.

We use the best-in-class REVIT software to deliver superlative structural services. REVIT structures have limitless capabilities to expedite the structural construction process. For example, we can produce 3D models which contain concrete reinforcement details, steel details, and accurate placement of the elements. Leveraging the REVIT capabilities we offer -

REVIT For Structural Engineers
  • 3D Rebar And Precast Detailing : We produce 3D models of reinforcement detailing and precast detailing of the structure in the BIM environment. These 3D models contain accurate material estimations and geometric placements.
  • Structural Steel Detailing : We produce steel detailings in REVIT models. The comprehensive BIM models hold accurate information that connects designs to details and offers extensive project overview through the REVIT models.
  • Documentation : Generate coordinated shop drawings from 3D REVIT models. Extract well-coordinated and clash-free rebar shop drawings and steel details from the REVIT BIM model.
  • Structural REVIT Families : We help you create curated structural REVIT families, or you can use the default database of structural elements with similar parameters provided in the REVIT. Curated REVIT families can be used for future projects as often as required.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How is BIM helpful for structural engineers?
      Building information modeling is an advanced CAD tool that helps you create a digital twin of your construction project. Through 3D BIM modeling, structural engineers can design, detail, document, and fabricate structural systems efficiently and quickly. In addition, BIM has powerful capabilities for expeditiously managing the construction project from drafting to the building phase. BIM allows collaborative working, helping optimize designs, project workflows, and turnaround times.
      Some of the capabilities of BIM in structural engineering :
    • Produce detailed fabrication models with accurate material estimations and cost
    • Detect and rectify design and workflow clashes
    • Easy multi-disciplinary coordination
    • Work collaboratively with other stakeholders
    • Plan and schedule construction tasks seamlessly
  • Why use structural BIM services?
      The ever-growing population has made the AEC industry think out of the box for expeditious construction and planning processes. Today's world requires intelligent solutions for complex problems. BIM is the answer for smart planning, designing, building, and facility management. BIM makes the process of building efficient and quick. Adopting structural BIM reaps exponential ROI on time and money. Though the initial adoption process may be time-consuming, once implemented, BIM can help you increase workflow efficiency by ten-folds.
  • What is structural analysis through BIM?
      Structural analysis is the process of determining the structural framework's inherent strength. Moreover, the approach calculates and determines the effects of different structural loads and forces acting upon a structural framework. Conventionally, simple hand calculations evaluate the impact of elementary forces acting on the framework. However, with the introduction of powerful BIM modeling, structural analysis through 3D modeling has become flawless and efficient. Additionally, with BIM, parametric analysis is possible through finite elemental analysis. The bidirectional link between the accurate 3D structural model and structural analysis offers you to test various structural solutions quickly.
  • What are some core benefits of structural BIM implementation?
      Building Information Modeling is a cutting-edge technology in the AEC industry that is changing how construction projects are planned and completed in today's fast-paced world. BIM digitally develops a perfect 3D virtual model of a structure, and it is more than simply a 3D model. It includes much extra information that helps you finish the project quickly.
      The following are some of the primary advantages of BIM modeling :
    • Enhances operation efficiency
    • Reduce waste of materials and labor.
    • Provides accurate material cost estimates pre-construction
    • Promotes collaborative working, which reduces total project execution time
    • Aids in mitigating budgetary and on-site construction hazards
