Building Information Modeling BIM Services Worldwide

Introduction

In the modern-day construction market, precision and communication have become prerequisites as well as requirements for the successful execution of construction projects. Through the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) services around the world, architects, engineers, and contractors have begun to plan, design, and implement construction projects using smart, virtual, and intelligent construction models where all elements function in concert, in contrast to using disconnected drawings. We at McLine Studios provide professional BIM services that enable project teams to minimize errors, collaborate more effectively with one another, and deliver projects successfully from start to finish quicker.

What Exactly Is Building Information Modeling (BIM)?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process of creating intelligent three-dimensional models that contain all the information associated with a particular building, including the Architectural, Structural and MEP data of the building itself. Unlike traditional CAD drawings, BIM models include actual material information, for example, the sizes and quantities of all of the materials used to construct the building and the construction schedule of the construction process of the building.

BIM Provides the Following Benefits to all Stakeholders:

• The ability to view the building prior to beginning construction

• The ability to detect clashes prior to commencing construction on-site

• The ability to accurately estimate quantity

• The ability to improve coordination between all members of the construction team

Because BIM services have become the industry standard worldwide, construction projects are now completed with the accuracy of a computer as opposed to making assumptions on how to build a project.

Our BIM Services at McLine Studios

McLine Studios is a full-service BIM outsourcing company providing comprehensive solutions for architects, builders, developers and engineering professionals. 

1. BIM Development: Accurate LOD-based models of Architectural, Structural & MEP will be developed by our company for use in Architectural Design Coordination and Construction Scheduling; this will create a foundational base for coordinating the designs with construction.

2. Clash Detection/Coordination: We will use a modern coordination workflow to determine the existence of any conflicting systems before construction begins; this will eliminate extra costs associated with having to redo work after it has occurred on-site.

3. Construction Documentation: Construction drawings including shop drawings, sections, elevations and detail layouts will be created from the BIM Models of the buildings; this will provide for the maintenance of consistency throughout each of the drawings.

4. Quantity Take-Offs & Bill of Quantities (BQ): Using the BIM Models, accurate material estimates will be created for the contractor to manage their budget; this will provide a contractor with a clear picture of the materials required and how much the total cost of the project should be.

5. Scan to BIM Conversion: Converting point cloud scans into intelligent 3D BIM Models will be performed within the BIM Models for use in renovation & retrofitting projects.

Reasons for Global Business Owners to Outsource to BIM

Several businesses in the United States, United Kingdom/UK, Middle East and Australia have begun to migrate some or all of their BIM responsibilities offshore to locations outside their country of origin.  Some of the benefits provided by offshore or global outsourcing of BIM include:

• Lower costs of doing business with BIM

• Reduced time required for project delivery

• Access to additional, skilled BIM professionals

• Improved effective use of the work product through increased parallel workflows

• Reduced model inaccuracies

McLine Studios provides our clients with a methodology designed specifically for global collaboration that is so structured that they can take advantage of the same model no matter what time zone they are located in.

Why Choose McLine Studios for BIM Services?

Our focus is on fulfilling project requirements instead of simply providing software model outputs; therefore your model will function properly when in your location as opposed to solely at your computer.

Our Differentiators:

• Industry-standard Revit processes
