Pre-construction Professional Services

HERE OUR THE THREE MAIN SERVICES WE OFFER TO DESIGNERS AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS

BIM IMPLEMENTATION

Implementing BIM will add value to your organisation if executed and managed in a sustainable way. Having a well thought out plan for integrating BIM with your design, analysis, and/or management processes helps maximise potential benefit, reduce BIM related risks, and maintain a focus on your priorities. Our BIM implementation services focus on three key steps:

Strategy – It is imperative that you target the discipline specific aspects of BIM that will add value to your company. At this stage of implementation we help identify BIM opportunities that facilitate your business objectives and risks that can prevent you from maximising BIM benefits. The result is a roadmap that aligns implementation with your company culture, resource capabilities, and performance targets.

Process Review & Development – Once we know how BIM aligns with your business strategy, we shift focus to your information production and management workflows. An ‘as is’ business process review tells us how you currently create and use project information, which feeds into the development of a ‘to be’ process that incorporates BIM. Your ‘to be’ process, associated KPIs, and support documentation become the reference points for sustainable BIM implementation.

Training – Implementing BIM requires updated technical and information management skills. We provide customised training covering the following topics:

Autodesk Revit & Navisworks (Autodesk Authorised Training Centre)
Construction Visualisation
Synchro
BIM Workflow Integration
BIM Standard Compliance (BSI Associate Consultant Programme Member No. 364)
MS Project
Primavera P6
Bentley Microstation, AECOsim

Our approach to training focuses on targeting the specific aspects of BIM that are relevant to your firm and projects.

PROJECT PLANNING & CONTROLS

Integrating project planning and controls during pre-construction stages helps reduce risk, satisfy statutory requirements and increases the value of your services. In addition to practical benefits, our pre-construction project planning and controls services provides you with insights that can be used to improve performance. We make this data accessible through the following services to give you a true view of your projects as they progress:

Pre-Construction Project Planning – Construction health and safety starts during pre-construction stages. We bring constructability reviews and simulations into projects at an early stage to ensure design and cost management account for health and safety considerations. Addressing health and safety during pre-construction will help you fulfil Construction Design and Management (CDM) requirements and add to cost certainty.

Quantification & Revision Management – Traditional value engineering cycles result in significant wasted effort by pre-construction project teams. Our concurrent quantification and costing techniques enable project teams to manage cost in tandem with early stage design and analysis activities. Project decisions can be made with cost certainty and control in mind, resulting a more informed change management process.

Progress Tracking & Change Management – The production of sound construction information is a collaborative process that is subject to dependency risk. We produce master information delivery plans that are based on a work package methodology, which supports effective deliverable production and change management processes. Information related delays are mitigated as project stakeholders understand deliverable scope, schedule, and dependencies.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

Good data adds value to projects and poor project data adds risk. Managing construction information is similar to managing a sports team:

A game plan needs to be set
Teams need to execute in accordance with the plan and adapt as necessary
Performance needs to be monitored and lessons learned

Our information management services follow this principle to ensure pre-construction teams perform to all-star levels:

BIM Requirements Review & Bid Support – A clear understanding of project requirements is needed to assess BIM resourcing and commercial impacts. Following a review of bid documentation, we provide advice for pre-submission queries, identify areas for post-contract negotiation, and supporting documentation for your bid submission. Communicating your understanding of BIM requirements, outlining your approach to drive value through BIM, and presenting a fee aligned with client targets strengthen your bid submissions.

Execution Planning, Workflow Management, & Performance Monitoring – Having a sound game plan for producing project information and a clear way to measure model data leads to improved performance. We provide the following services to manage project information:

BIM Execution Plan development and administration
Model audits and reviews
Project team training and technical support
Deliverable planning & management
Design and Construction Coordination meeting facilitation
Model coordination dashboards
Model progress dashboards
Data validation dashboards
Facility data extraction
LEED consultancy and certification management

Our BIM execution methodology and supporting tools help optimise the production and collaborative use of pre-construction team information.

Construction & Asset Information Model Production – Transitioning model information from pre-construction to construction and handover project stages requires an additional level of development to continue adding value. Our model production services to can help bridge this gap. The right scope of technical support can enhance project deliverables and information.
