Building Information Management

As a Practice we have over 10 years experience working on projects utilising a Common Data Environment including working with major contractors who all have established online systems for the sharing and management of project documentation. This experience has included working as Principal Designer on large multi-million pound schemes where we have performed a central role in the review, co-ordination and approval of documentation produced by the project team.

We have utilised Building Information Modelling on our own projects since 2013 and have successfully delivered a number of projects to Level 2 BIM including the use of a federated model combining the architectural, structural and services models. This means we have the ability and practical experience to produce documentation that is then shared in a Common Data Environment.

Our BIM services include:

• Provision of BIM Execution Plan and Protocols
• Full design & co-ordination including maintenance of federated model
• Sharing of model with all team members
• 3D visualisations
• Clash Rendition

We use Autodesk Revit as our standard design software and all but the most minor projects are now delivered as a 3D model that can be shared and co-ordinated with the design team, ensuring a collaborative approach to project delivery.

Collaboration requires the electronic sharing of large size files and we have invested in a fibre optic broadband connection to handle this process more effectively.

Recognising that we cannot deliver a BIM project without an integrated design team who are also able to participate we have also established a supply of consultants who are also have the capability to work in BIM.
