What We Offer
Educational construction projects come with unique challenges. These include creating flexible learning spaces that adapt to diverse teaching methods. Schools, colleges, and universities require designs that support collaboration and innovation. Each facility must cater to the needs of students, teachers, and staff.
Safety is another critical factor in educational construction. Buildings must comply with stringent safety regulations to ensure a secure environment. This includes fire safety systems, emergency exits, and structural stability. Our BIM services help integrate these features into the design seamlessly.
We focus on providing customized BIM services for educational institutions. This includes advanced planning, detailed coordination, and sustainable designs. Our goal is to deliver high-quality facilities that enhance the learning experience.
Detailed BIM Modeling
We create highly accurate 3D BIM models that represent every aspect of the building, including architecture, structure, and MEP systems. These models help stakeholders visualize the project and make informed decisions during the design phase.
Clash Detection and Coordination
Our BIM experts perform clash detection to identify conflicts between different building systems, such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. By resolving these clashes in the design phase, we help avoid costly delays and rework during construction.
4D BIM for Scheduling
Time is critical in educational projects. Using 4D BIM, we integrate project timelines into the model to create a visual representation of the construction schedule. This ensures that construction activities are well-coordinated and completed within the required timeframe.
Energy-Efficient Designs
Our BIM services support sustainable design practices, helping to create energy-efficient educational buildings. By analyzing energy consumption and daylight usage, we assist in optimizing the building’s performance and reducing operational costs.
Facility Management Integration
We deliver as-built BIM models that serve as a valuable resource for future facility management. These models allow educational institutions to maintain and upgrade their buildings efficiently, ensuring a safe and productive environment for students and staff.
Architectural and stuctural BIM
We provide detailed architectural and structural BIM services for educational buildings. Our team creates accurate 3D models that include floor plans, sections, elevations, and structural framing layouts. We use Revit to develop parametric components, wall assemblies, foundation details, and load-bearing systems. All models are developed according to project standards and follow LOD 300 to LOD 400.
Steel Detailing
We deliver precise steel detailing services for structural steel elements used in education construction. Our experts create fabrication-level drawings for beams, columns, braces, trusses, and connections using BIM tools. These drawings include material specifications, dimensions, bolt schedules, and welding details. We coordinate steel components with concrete and MEP elements to avoid site conflicts. Our steel detailing supports prefabrication, improves accuracy, and ensures compliance with AISC and other relevant standards.
HVAC System Modeling and Sizing
Our BIM experts create detailed HVAC models to ensure optimal system performance. We calculate accurate sizes and placements for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to maintain comfortable indoor environments.
Electrical System Design Coordination
We coordinate the design and placement of electrical systems, including lighting, power distribution, and emergency backup systems. This ensures seamless integration with other building elements.
Construction Document Generation
We generate accurate construction documents directly from BIM models. These documents include detailed drawings and schedules, providing clear guidance for contractors and reducing the chance of errors.
As-Built Model Creation
Our team delivers precise as-built models that reflect the final construction. These models are invaluable for future facility management, maintenance, and upgrades.
Regular Coordination Meetings
We organize regular coordination meetings with project stakeholders to resolve design issues and ensure smooth collaboration. These meetings use BIM models as visual tools for effective communication.
RFI Management Through BIM
We streamline the Request for Information (RFI) process using BIM. This allows quick resolution of queries, keeping the project on track and avoiding delays.
Maintenance Schedule Planning
We help create maintenance schedules using BIM data. This ensures that educational facilities remain operational, safe, and efficient over the long term.
QR Code System Integration
We integrate QR codes into BIM models to provide quick access to critical building information. Scanning a QR code can instantly retrieve data about equipment, materials, and maintenance schedules.
Site Progress Monitoring
We use BIM models to track construction progress in real time. This helps identify delays or issues early, ensuring the project stays aligned with its timeline and goals.
Quality Control Checks
Our BIM services include quality control checks to ensure the design meets the required standards and specifications. This reduces the likelihood of errors during construction and guarantees high-quality outcomes.
Preventive Maintenance Planning
Installation Sequence Verification
We verify the sequence of installations within the BIM model, ensuring that construction tasks are completed in the correct order. This prevents delays and ensures smooth construction progress.
Operation Manual Integration
We integrate operation manuals directly into the BIM model. This makes it easier for facility managers to access critical information about building systems and equipment for ongoing maintenance.
ADA Compliance Verification
We use BIM to verify that the design complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This ensures that the building meets accessibility standards and provides a safe environment for all users.
