At RESPEC, we know that successful construction starts with proper planning. That is why we offer a full range of Building Information Modeling (BIM) services that use digital technology to bring designs to life in accurate, 3D virtual models. With our BIM services, you can save time and money while accommodating complex designs and shorter construction schedules.
Using BIM, you can see the entire life of your facility before the shovel hits the dirt. This data-driven approach to information sharing and collaborating reduces construction costs, improves project timelines, and minimizes rework. Whether planning a new facility or renovating an existing one, contact RESPEC today to learn how our BIM services can help save time and money on your next project.
Our BIM services include the following offerings:
- Project planning and coordination
- 3D modeling services
- 3D laser scanning
- Virtual reality environments
- Facility asset management
BIM 3D Modeling
BIM 3D Modeling and Services
BIM 3D modeling provides the tools needed to plan, design, construct, and maintain your facility from a virtual setting. With our comprehensive range of services, including BIM modeling, drafting, content development, and cloud hosting, we can support your project from design to construction, whether commercial, private, or industrial.
RESPEC employs BIM to integrate a 3D architectural model with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire engineering elements. With these elements modeled, you can experience clear communication and confirmation of design intent with stakeholders and contractors while visualizing the completed facility before breaking ground.
Our BIM drafting services provide visual precision through detailed 3D models and 2D drawings. RESPEC generates drawing documents that ensure compliance with building codes and expedite regulatory approvals through comprehensive permit sets. We then facilitate accurate record drawings, capturing as-built conditions for future maintenance and renovations.
Access high-quality details and Revit project templates from our content library. We provide BIM templates and Revit software expertise for BIM content development. Our standard for template creation and family content development has created a library of typical facility details, from steel connections to concrete foundations, to efficiently drag and drop onto project sheets.
No more sifting through outdated facility documentation in old file formats. We convert your old CAD files, PDFs, and blueprints into modern BIM files with the necessary asset information, all accessible online. You can save time and increase accuracy with this hassle-free, modern solution.
With our cloud hosting solutions, collaborating on projects has never been easier. Gain remote access to project data from anywhere, allowing for streamlined teamwork and increased productivity. Our services provide easy access to facility asset information and a 3D viewer, which makes coordinating more convenient for you.
As Built Models
Navigating building documentation should not be daunting. With our as-built and record modeling services, RESPEC specializes in simplifying the process. As-built drawings capture the existing conditions of your facility and, with our BIM services, we use 3D laser scanning to document changes made during construction to ensure the digital model aligns with the built environment. Our as-built services will aid you with facility management, renovations, and future project planning. Some of our as-built services include:
- Provide as-built drawings, modeling, and documentation.
- Update as-built/record model to capture field changes during construction.
- Incorporate construction revisions.
- Generate record documents and model after construction.
3D Laser Scanning
Our 3D BIM modeling process provides you with hyper-accurate virtual models of your project sites, using both terrestrial and drone scanning to capture existing site data. This approach helps you identify differences between real-world conditions and outdated records and prevent costly field changes during construction. With LiDAR scanning, we scan a space 360 degrees, measure the distance between elements, and create point clouds from data points. We can use these point clouds to render a 3D BIM model—a digital twin—of the space and objects, helping you actively monitor and analyze your facility and reducing the need for hardcopy documents or site visits.
Project BIM Coordination
Good coordination is key to any successful project. Our Project BIM coordination exemplifies a structured approach guided by a robust BIM execution plan. RESPEC’s coordination tools and services include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and building elements, penetration planning, clash detection and coordination resolution, and constructability reviews. With our team of experienced BIM experts at the helm of your coordination projects, you will save time and money, as well as avoid the need for rework.
With a proper BIM Execution Plan, you receive a clear roadmap for BIM implementation, ensuring collaboration and project goals are achieved throughout the project’s life cycle.
Experience harmony between your building’s MEP elements. With a well-coordination design, we will work to integrate a clash-free alignment of architectural and MEP elements by focusing on the spatial relationship between building elements and MEP systems. This coordination will help prevent issues before construction starts.
With penetration planning, you receive a thoughtfully planned space that minimizes clashes and reduces the likelihood of issues during operations. This process involves planning and incorporating openings within buildings to accommodate MEP systems by considering the placement of ducts, pipes, and utilities to avoid conflicts and streamline construction.
Experience minimized on-site issues, cost savings, and a more efficient construction process by identifying and resolving clashes early on. RESPEC will help you identify potential conflicts between design elements to allow for productive resolution before construction, reducing errors and rework.
With our constructability reviews, you can be confident in your project’s feasibility. RESEPC will assess the design practicality and identify potential construction challenges for a continuous transition from design to built structure.
Facility Asset Management
RESPEC can transform a building’s lifecycle management by incorporating facility asset management into your processes. With our BIM services, you don’t need to rely on different data sets to manage the life of your facility. RESPEC uses digital twins and 3D facilities asset maps to facilitate real-time tracking of assets, maintenance, and performance analytics, ensuring cost-effective operations and informed decision-making throughout the facility’s lifecycle. Leverage our BIM-powered solutions for a comprehensive toolset that maximizes the value of your built environment.
