What does BIM modeling include?
BIM modeling creates a coordinated building information model that combines geometry, project data, materials, areas, quantities, installations, specifications and key parameters for design, construction and building management. Unlike a standard 3D model, a BIM model contains information that supports decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
IPA - Architecture and more develops functional and parametric BIM models for residential, public, office, retail, industrial, educational, healthcare, infrastructure and mixed-use projects. The models support architectural design, engineering coordination, review of design solutions, quantity take-offs, analysis and preparation for construction.
BIM models can be used for building information coordination, energy models, simulations, traffic analysis, time and budget forecasting, and building management after completion. They provide better visibility over the project and reduce the risk of discrepancies between architecture, structure, installations and other disciplines.
For existing buildings, a BIM model can be developed based on available project documentation, laser scanning, Reality Capture or a Scan-to-BIM process. This creates a reliable digital base for renovation, reconstruction, analysis, operation or future development of the building.
The service is directly connected with Clash Detection, Reality Capture and Scan-to-BIM, Digital Twin, 4D and 5D BIM, architectural design, engineering design and 3D printing. When the BIM model is developed in sync with the design process, it improves coordination, control, communication and the quality of the final result.
