Design BIM Modelling

This refers to modelling of all major architectural and aesthetic components like walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, roofs etc. Not only can architectural 3D models be used to validate proposed concepts and visualize designs but the same models can also be used as decision making tools during the construction phase as well.

Techture has an efficient team to precisely model the required families/components for interior BIM modelling. Interior modelling is important at the planning stage of projects as it is crucial to plan the locations of all the MEP components. If all the interior details including furniture and other aesthetic models are modelled according to the exact dimensions and appearance, it gives a more detailed visual appeal to the model and also provides better idea of the space constraints related to the project. Also, the study of interaction of the interior components with the structural and architectural components is important to be virtually executed and any possible coordination issues should be dealt with before procurement of expensive interior items.

Modelling involves ducts, mechanical pipelines and equipment. The models can be used for quick estimation of quantities required and generation of fabrication drawings. Other benefits include the use of 3D models for coordination and checking clashes with other disciplines.

Electrical systems are the lifeline of any building. As buildings get increasingly complex, modelling of electrical components is not only necessary to avoid clashes and delays on site, but also for linking with Building automation systems (BAS/BMS) once the building has been constructed. Elements like cable trays, switches, electrical equipment and fixtures, lighting, telephone, nurse call, security, data, communication etc. are all modeled under this discipline.

Plumbing systems of any building comprise of drainage, water supply, waste disposal, rainwater, stormwater drainage etc. Pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fixtures, valves comprise these systems. At Techture we use 3D plumbing models not just for clash detection but also for pipe sizing and pressure loss calculations.

The landscape level BIM Models incorporate terrain, topography and other landscape components like ponds, trees, existing natural elements etc. An accurate 3D Model of the landscape can be associated with the available site survey data. A digital database of important landscape features like trees, shrubs, ponds etc. can be used for getting centralized information about the large array of elements included in the drawings and existing terrain.

Techture has advanced expertise in rebar detailing – 3D rebar modelling, drawing and estimation using Revit Structures. We offer services which following industry standards ASTM, ACI, CRSI, AASHTO, RSIO, BS 8666 to structural engineers, rebar fabricators, detailers, general contractors, concrete contractors, and designers.
