Building Information Modelling
AEC firms around the globe are transitioning from 2D CAD Platforms like ACAD and Micro Station to 3D intelligent modelling in BIM. BIM technology provides a link between, design, construction and management along with improved productivity for easy retrieval of embedded data information. BIM support services provides you with an efficient way to transition from 2D platforms to intelligent modelling in order to reduce project cost, increase profitability and save time.
Following are some of the BIM support services:
• Building Information Model: BIM model for Architecture, Interiors and Engineering Projects. These files could be at any phase of the work such as schematic design, design development, construction documents or as built conditions. The file formats could be in the form of hand sketches, photographs, PDF’s, JPG’s, DWG, DWF’s, etc.
• 3D Visualization: 3d Models for renderings and animations. These models can also be used to study building geometry/massing and construction sequencing.
• Embedding/linking and extracting of various Information
• Conflict Detection: Identify conflicts amongst various design disciplines for delivering fully coordinated BIM model.
• Detail Library: Drafting details in BIM as a part of the project or as a separate library with customized line weights, hatch patterns, etc.
The design support services include schematic design, design development, construction documentation, structure, MEP/Architectural Information Coordination, conflict identification, CAD systems development, code compliance checks, record drawings, s-built drawings, shop drawings, CAD conversion/rasterisation.

The design support services provide the following advantages to the AEC firms worldwide:
• Allows you to focus on core business rather than production
• Reduce project costs and improve project margins by 50-60%
• Time Zone advantage
• Improvement in the delivery schedule by 40-50%
• Enable you to streamline operations during peak & lean periods
• No infrastructure investments
Providing services in CAD documentation, 3d modelling, Building Information Modelling & Engineering to AEC firms worldwide for various industry segments like:
• Commercial
• Residential
• Hospitality
• Retail
• Corporate
• Healthcare
• Institutional
• Recreational
