Building information modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that enables professionals working in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry to plan, design, construct and manage infrastructure and buildings using powerful software. Recognizing its outstanding value, NY Engineers has invested in the best BIM software that enables us to design highly complex building systems with absolute confidence.
We use Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Navisworks to meet our client’s core needs which include sustainable design, superior coordination for better outcomes, and efficient design management processes, all of which result in improved overall quality and substantially reduced risk. This superior software also enables us to reduce costs.
Automated BIM software solutions are key to a quick and efficient collaboration between the many different professionals involved in the various disciplines of building construction projects including architects, structural engineers, and those specializing in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering. They are also key to successful clash detection and clash resolution processes. Because BIM is model-based, our services provide a coordinated approach to MEP modeling. As part of this approach, we coordinate the models produced by all the professionals involved with a specific project, to ensure there are no clashes or collisions.So, ultimately, the coordinated 3D master models we produce are comprehensive and include the full spectrum of diagrams, layouts, and schedules and specifications for equipment and construction details. We cover the design of complex building systems including energy-efficient, mechanical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. We use software that enables our structural and 3D BIM drafters to create pre-construction models of buildings that incorporate structural, architectural, and MEP elements.
If there are clashes, we pick them up very quickly. In essence, our BIM services enable us to:Ultimately, we know that better coordination is essential for better outcomes. We also know that for any construction project to be successful, it is vital that all role players in the project are able to coordinate with others involved in the building project. This is why we undertake to simplify BIM coordination and detect real-time clashes, and in this way help you ensure that your project will stay on schedule and on budget.
Professionals using the traditional design process each have separate drawings that contain coordinated checkpoints they use to check for compatibility with the drawings of other professionals. Not only is this a time-consuming process, checking drawings and then discussing them in face-to-face meetings, but the process is open to human error too. Worse still, when incompatibilities are discovered, construction is often already in progress. BIM software totally changes the game.One of the core services we offer is BIM clash detection, which identifies any interference in design and helps to eliminate human error. By facilitating effective identification, inspection, and reporting of typical interference clashes in 3D models, we can resolve problems at the document stage rather than during the construction phase. And it’s not only clash detection of components that we identify, but also efficiencies (and therefore inefficiencies) in materials, equipment lead time, construction sequencing, and compliance with original designs.
Although generally only used for some small residential projects, in a traditional design process, when inconsistencies are spotted, plans have to be redrawn to eliminate clashes. If construction has already begun, rectifying clashes can cause enormous problems and they often result in costly delays that impact negatively on budgets. Of course, clash detection and clash resolution go hand-in-hand, and it’s a no-brainer that if clashes aren’t detected, they cannot be resolved. When manual processes are used, human error is a very real problem, and clashes may only be identified when the construction process is at an advanced stage. A key benefit of using BIM is the ability to identify any type of clashes early on in projects so that they can be rectified (or resolved) more easily, more quickly, and more cheaply than if work was already in progress. But even with the availability of sophisticated software that automates the process of clash detection, it’s essential to know what clashes are, why they happen, and how they can be avoided.Nearby Engineers New York Engineers has substantial experience working with BIM technology and our go-to clash resolution professionals are ready to help you with your building project.
