-
Presentation & Visualisation: The model serves as a powerful communication tool, offering stakeholders a realistic visual representation of the project. This facilitates client engagement, helps secure approvals, and allows for better understanding of the design. High-fidelity renderings, walkthroughs, and virtual reality experiences can be generated from the model.
-
Clash Detection & Coordination: Revit's core strength lies in its ability to identify and resolve conflicts between different building systems (e.g., structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing). Early clash detection minimizes on-site rework, reduces delays, and ultimately controls project costs. This often involves running automated clash detection routines and manually reviewing potential conflicts.
-
Service Coordination & Design Integration: The model acts as a central hub for coordinating the design and integration of various building services (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection). This ensures that systems function cohesively, minimizes design errors, and allows for streamlined installation. Effective coordination involves collaboration between different disciplines.
-
Manufacturing & Fabrication: For projects incorporating prefabrication or off-site construction, a detailed and accurate Revit model provides precise dimensions and specifications for manufacturing building components. This facilitates efficient production, reduces waste, and speeds up construction timelines. This requires a high level of detail and accuracy in the model's elements.
-
As-Built Documentation & Health and Safety Files: The Revit model serves as a crucial record of the project's actual construction, reflecting any changes made during the build process (the "as-built" condition). The final, updated model is an invaluable resource for ongoing maintenance, facility management, and especially, for health and safety documentation, ensuring compliance with regulations. This requires consistent updating and accuracy throughout construction.
We provide BIM services and consultations to architects, developers, engineers, and contractors, ensuring your project journey is as smooth and efficient as possible. Our goal is to guide you through the complexities of your project, giving you a clear understanding of where significant cost savings and efficiencies can be achieved, especially during the pre-construction phase..
Many clients are unaware of the substantial percentage of ROI that can be optimized at this early stage. With our expertise, we can show you exactly where your project will benefit the most. For example, issues like structural and architectural misalignment can slow the process down, leading to major expenses and unwanted delays. Similarly, proper planning of MEP routing while considering fire regulations is crucial to avoid costly reworks.
To maximize value, we’ve designed special packages tailored to the most complex trades. This means you’ll get the most out of our services, with offerings such as MEP coordination, MEP routing, alignment of structural and architectural models, tender packages—we can help you succeed in tenders by creating a BIM model that presents your project as well-prepared, professional, and highly organised, making it stand out from a tender evaluation perspective.
Effective planning is the key to success. Get in touch or book a consultancy today to find out more about how we can help you streamline your project and achieve outstanding results!

Revit Model Creation Strategy:
This document outlines a strategic approach to creating Revit models, emphasizing the importance of understanding the model's intended purpose and its role throughout the project lifecycle. A well-defined strategy ensures efficient model creation, accurate representation, and effective utilisation across various project stages.
Defining the Purpose of Your Revit Model
The success of a Revit model hinges on its ability to meet specific project needs. It's crucial to determine the primary and secondary uses of the model before you begin. Revit models are highly versatile, designed to serve diverse purposes throughout a project's lifespan. These can be broadly categorized as follows:
