Building Information Modelling is a software-driven indispensable process for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. At OMNIO, we use BIM to create the virtual look and feel of the structure with infrastructure. We also extract additional information from it throughout the creation stage of the project.
Traditionally, designing buildings was largely dependent on 2D drawings like elevations, sections, plans, etc. But BIM has completely changed that and elevated architecture to a new level.
At OMNIO, we take the designing process beyond 3D. We augment the dimensions (height, depth, and width) with metadata like Time as 4D, Cost as 5D, Energy as 6D, and Management as 7D. It helps us create a BIM Model that provides a realistic and holistic view of the project.
Our BIM Consulting Service focuses on providing you with quick and implementable strategies. These are necessary for the adoption and development of the BIM Execution Plan. Our BIM experts understand your organizational BIM goals and bridge the gap between existing practice and objectives. And formulate required strategies as per the industry standards and current location.
We implement Autodesk Construction Cloud to collaborate, with teams, data, and workflow at every construction stage. It helps maximize efficiency, increase profits and reduce risks while providing a clear view of the construction process.
Each project using BIM technologies must be duly organised, with provision of the required support at any stage of the Project Life Cycle.
Often, clients do not want to employ BIM specialists who are able to organize the work and control the BIM project’s implementation to meet the goals set out in the Employer Information Requirements (EIR), and outsource this service.
Through performing these operations, daily for its own information model development needs, OMNIO knows all the constraints and nuances. It is the perfect platform for the Client to achieve the Goals.
BIM is the medium to manage and coordinate data in large complex projects. Omnio provide various services in BIM for better execution of projects. Our services in BIM provide convenience to the clients as well as the execution team of working on the drawings and models that are well coordinated and clash free.
We work on the details related to the engineering – electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, etc. The final drawings are then made in relevant 2D/3D software’s.
We create a full definition of every aspect of all engineering in the project development. All the details of all the engineering fields involved in the project are prepared in the form of 2D/3D as per client’s requirement.
We have a specialized team of engineers from all the fields who work forth in detailing out the engineering services involved according to the project. We have the capability to handle large projects for engineering details.
We work on the details related to the design of the project, architectural and interiors. The final drawings are then made in relevant 2D/3D software’s.
Our specialized team of architects and designers work on detailing out the architectural elements in the project. The models and 2D drawings are created with the details shared by the client and concerned consultants.
Detailing out the architectural and interior elements of a project help the client to better visualize the project and improve constructability of the project.
We produce good-for-construction drawings to be directly issued on site for better execution of construction. The drawings produced are well coordinated before issuance to avoid any type of clashes and chaos during construction.
The drawings are issued on site as and when required so that there is no mismanagement of information on site. The drawings are finally drawn instructions which the builder will use on site to convert the design ideas into a real building.
Care is taken to ensure accuracy of dimensions and specification. When a drawing is being produced, is given to the structuring of information for better understanding of the drawings and the project.
We produce shop drawings for projects where prefabrication is to be used. The shop drawings we produce the manufacturer’s or contractor’s drawn version of information listed in the construction documents.
The shop drawings are produced to enable the design professional to secure graphic representation from the general contractor as to how the installing contractor intends to complete a portion of the work, prior to proceeding, for which submittals are required.
The shop drawings we produce include the following:
We produce installation drawings for coordinated detail drawings. The installation drawings have all the information needed by different trades on site to install part of works.
The installation drawings help the client and the execution team to understand the installation of various components being used in the building. The information of all the components to be installed is gathered from the clients and concerned consultants and incorporated in the drawings for execution.
Some of the most important operations and maintenance documentation products of a construction project are the AS-BUILT drawings. As-built drawings are the original design drawings revised to reflect any changes made in the field. E.g. design changes issues by change order, component relocation required for coordination, rerouting of distribution systems, etc.
We produce as-built drawings that reflect the changes that are made in specifications and in working drawings during the construction process, and show the exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all elements of the work completed under the contract.
We value engineer the projects by modifying designs and systems based on the value analysis. This helps the client to achieve maximum function in minimum costs.
Our Value Engineering focuses on those value characteristics which are deemed most important from the client’s point of view. It is a powerful methodology that we use for solving problems and/or reducing costs while maintaining or improving performance and quality requirements.
BIM Management services are mainly to coordinate data in large complex projects. It provides convenience to the clients as well as the execution team of working on the drawings and models that are well coordinates and becomes clash free.
We develop as-built models of the projects through initial drawings and on-site surveys. The models developed have all the latest updates as per the change orders and actual on-site data. The as-built models serve as a part of operations and management documents of the building.
Having an accurate as-built model of the existing structure allows owners to visualize and analyze proposed retrofit solutions and ensures that the retrofit meets the owner’s requirements and provides the best value.
As built models are required to keep as a record with the operations department so that during the operation of the building, if any problem does up in the building, then the operations department can refer the as built model even if the design team or execution team in not present to solve the issue.
We all are aware of the clashes occurring during the execution of the project. The clashes occur between architectural and structural elements, structural and services elements, etc. A considerable waste of resource and time is witnessed if these clashes are not detected and resolved early during design phase.
To avoid such clashes during execution, we can detect the clashes in the 3D models itself and resolve even before the start of the project. The 3D models that are developed by us are initially coordinated for clash detections. The clashes that are detected are then resolved by our team at the studio along with other consultants involved in the project from the client’s side.
Our team works in common data environment like Autodesk’s NAVISWORKS and Autodesk’s Revit that helps in mitigating the effects and achieve a coordinated design model.
We develop Design BIM Models that are suitable to be issued on site for the better understanding of the project by the execution team.
The models created allow to view the design elements in correspondence with other services and systems involved in the project. The inefficiencies and errors could be conquered by Virtual 3D models that are produced on the basis of the details of the project: architectural, structural, services, etc. The models that are created are well-coordinated and are resolved from all the clashes.
The models are detailed as per client’s requirement on Autodesk 3D software for rendering and visualization of design.
We provide OMNIOOBIE (OMNIO Operations Building Information Exchange) extraction for projects. All the subset of building information models (BIM) is extracted in one format and then shared with the execution team at the defined stages during construction.
A number of construction professionals are normally involved in collaboration to put this documentation together. Hence, we do the work for the client as a different body, saving time and energy of other construction professionals involved.
The OMNIOOBIE spreadsheet that we prepare contains structured content from all members of the construction team and from all the information models of the project.
We develop 4D models by adding the fourth dimension of time in the 3D model. By 4D models, the clients can know how much time would be required to complete the project.
Architects, contractors and engineers refer the 4D BIM model for various reasons and implement the information received from it for construction purposes. We produce 4D models during the pre-design phase to be used for strategic planning.
With the use of a 4D model designers and engineers can improve the constructability of design. It also allows the designers and engineers to understand how the process will proceed in a particular point of time.
5D models are developed from 4D models. The fifth dimension that’s added is the quantities and estimation of the project. It saves a lot of time and patience for calculations pertaining to the entire project cost. Thus, whenever a single component is replaced or changed, the direct impact on the cost gets calculated automatically.
The creation of 5D models enables the architects, designers, contractors, clients of a construction project to visualize the progress of construction activities and its related costs over time.
By 5D models, we can show the client what happens to the schedule and budget when a change is made on the project.
We develop models for project specific components and equipment as required. The models are created in the forms of families that contain all the details and information regarding the same.
In large projects where a lot of equipment or components are being used, it is best to model all the equipment and components to handle the data in a better way.
Modelling components and equipment help in reducing clashes in the drawings. The models show the exact dimensions of all the equipment/components being used. All the details of the equipment/component are incorporated in the models to make the models more comprehensive.
