BIM & Preconstruction Support for Energy & Utility Infrastructure
Optimar Precon supports defined power and utility infrastructure packages with BIM, multidisciplinary coordination, CAD drafting, P&ID documentation, estimating, quantity takeoffs and technical production support.
Coordinate Power, Structural & Building Systems Before Construction
Energy and utility facilities can combine electrical equipment, structural systems, cable infrastructure, MEP services and supporting building elements. Our teams develop and coordinate the assigned BIM and drawing information from the current project sources.
Preconstruction Support for Defined Energy & Utility Packages
Assign one technical production service or combine several disciplines around the defined power or utility infrastructure scope.
Energy BIM Services
Develop BIM models for defined power-generation, utility and supporting infrastructure packages.
Substation BIM Services
Model and coordinate supplied substation equipment, structure and supporting systems.
MEP BIM Coordination
Coordinate mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems with structural and architectural information.
P&ID Documentation
Prepare or update P&ID drawings using supplied project information and markups.
GA & Equipment Drawings
Prepare general arrangement and equipment-layout drawings for defined utility packages.
Scan to BIM
Develop existing-condition BIM geometry from supplied point-cloud information.
Review Technical Interfaces Across Energy Infrastructure Systems
Multidisciplinary BIM helps project teams review electrical equipment, structural elements, cable infrastructure, MEP systems and supporting spaces within the assigned package.
Coordinate supplied transformers, switchgear and equipment layouts with surrounding systems.
Review supplied cable tray, trench and route information within the coordinated model.
Review equipment and services against structural framing, supports and openings.
Coordinate supporting mechanical, electrical and plumbing services across technical areas.
Review supplied equipment and supporting services within available project spaces.
Review interfaces between defined infrastructure packages and adjacent project systems.
Support New Work Within Existing Energy & Utility Facilities
For upgrade and retrofit packages, our teams can use available drawings, BIM models, surveys and point-cloud information to support coordination between documented existing conditions and proposed project work.

A Structured Workflow for Energy BIM & Utility Preconstruction
Power and utility infrastructure packages can involve electrical equipment, structure, cable infrastructure, MEP services and multiple disciplines. Our workflow keeps the assigned technical package aligned with the current project information from review through delivery.
Review Inputs
Review drawings, models, P&IDs, equipment information and project requirements.
Define the Package
Confirm the facility area, system, discipline and required outputs.
Develop Information
Produce the assigned BIM, CAD, P&ID or drawing package.
Coordinate Interfaces
Review equipment, structure, cable routes and supporting services together.
Review & Deliver
Check revisions, coordination status and final outputs.
Keep Technical Production Connected to the Current Utility Package
Energy infrastructure projects can move through equipment, layout and discipline revisions. Production remains aligned with the current information supplied for the assigned scope.
- Current equipment layouts
- Current discipline models
- Single-line / project drawings
- Current P&IDs
- Latest project revisions
- Required deliverables
Common Coordination Checks Across Power & Utility Packages
Bringing electrical, structural and MEP information into a coordinated environment helps teams review physical interfaces within the assigned project package.
Review the Energy Project Package Before Issue
The assigned package goes through production checks for scope, model organization, technical coordination, revisions and required outputs.

Preconstruction Capacity for Energy & Utility Project Teams
Add BIM, coordination, CAD, estimating and technical documentation resources to defined power and utility infrastructure packages as project workloads change.
Technical Production Support Built Around the Assigned Energy Package
Energy and utility projects can create parallel workloads across BIM, coordination, drawings, estimating and revisions. Our teams can support clearly defined production packages around the project information and outputs established by your team.
Package-Level Support
Assign one service, system, discipline or facility area.
Multidiscipline Capability
Connect BIM, structural, MEP, CAD and technical production.
Revision Support
Add resources when equipment, layouts or project information change.
Scalable Capacity
Increase technical production resources around workload peaks.
Support Across Different Energy & Utility Project Packages
Resources can be aligned with the project stage, facility area or technical package without assigning the complete energy project.
New-Build Packages
Support BIM, drawings and coordination for defined new infrastructure.
Expansion Packages
Support additional equipment, systems and infrastructure packages.
Upgrade Packages
Support modifications to existing power and utility infrastructure.
Coordination Packages
Review equipment, structure, cable routes and supporting systems.
Tender & Bid Packages
Add estimating and quantity takeoff resources for defined scope.
Documentation Packages
Support BIM, P&IDs, CAD and technical documentation.
Production Resources for Energy Project Delivery Teams
Our teams can work alongside contractors, EPC teams, engineers and digital-delivery professionals responsible for the assigned power or utility package.
General Contractors
Add BIM, estimating and coordination production capacity.
EPC & Design-Build Teams
Support defined multidisciplinary preconstruction packages.
Specialty Contractors
Add modeling, coordination, takeoff and drawing resources.
VDC & BIM Teams
Add model-production and coordination resources during workload peaks.
Scale Resources Around Energy & Utility Workloads
Add targeted resources when modeling, coordination, documentation, tendering or revision workloads increase.
Add model production for defined facilities, systems or disciplines.
Add resources during multidisciplinary BIM coordination cycles.
Add CAD, P&ID, GA and documentation resources.
Add estimating and takeoff resources for defined packages.
Assign Only the Energy Package You Need
Support can be structured around one service, one discipline, one facility area or additional production capacity.
BIM, CAD, estimating or documentation.
Structural, electrical, MEP or drafting.
One system, facility area or technical package.
Ongoing production support across multiple packages.
Optimar Precon provides BIM, CAD, coordination, estimating and technical documentation production support from the project information supplied for the assigned scope. Electrical system design, power-system engineering, equipment selection, engineering calculations, utility approvals, site verification and professional approvals remain with the responsible project team.
Need additional capacity for an energy or utility project?
Add BIM, CAD, coordination, estimating or documentation resources where the project needs them.
