Structural BIM Services
Optimar Precon provides Structural BIM Services for structural engineers, contractors and project teams that need detailed digital models for steel, concrete, reinforcement and structural coordination.
Our structural BIM team develops project-specific Revit and BIM models from supplied drawings, engineering information and model requirements to support coordination, documentation and construction workflows.
What Do Structural BIM Services Include?
Structural BIM Services transform supplied structural drawings, engineering information and model requirements into coordinated digital representations of steel, concrete, reinforcement, foundations and other structural systems.
Structural BIM Models Built Around Project Information
Our BIM team develops structural models from supplied plans, structural drawings, engineering information and required project deliverables, with the modeling scope defined around the structural systems included in the project.
Framing members, columns, beams and applicable connection information.
Slabs, foundations, columns, walls and other concrete elements.
Rebar information, reinforcement arrangements and associated schedules.
Our Structural BIM Service Capabilities
The modeling package can be structured around the required structural system, coordination requirements and agreed project deliverables.
Structural Revit BIM Modeling
Revit structural models can include framing, foundations, slabs, structural walls and other modeled elements based on supplied project information.
Structural Steel Detailing
Structural steel information can include member placement, joint and connection information and applicable detailing for shop-drawing workflows.
Concrete & Reinforcement Modeling
Cast-in-place and precast concrete elements can be modeled along with reinforcement information, schedules and required structural details.
Structural BIM Coordination
Structural models can be reviewed alongside architectural and MEP models where multi-discipline coordination forms part of the project scope.
As-Built Structural BIM Models
Structural models can be updated from supplied field information and markups to represent recorded project conditions.
Structural BIM Documentation
Views, sections, schedules and structural drawing information can be organized from the BIM model according to the required documentation scope.
Information Used to Develop Structural BIM Models
Structural model development begins with the available design and engineering information and a clearly defined BIM scope.
Structural BIM Deliverables
Deliverables can be organized around the agreed modeling, coordination, detailing and documentation requirements.
Have structural drawings ready for BIM development?
Send your structural drawings, current model information and required BIM deliverables for scope review.
How Our Structural BIM Process Works
Our workflow moves from structural input review through model development, multi-discipline coordination and final BIM deliverable preparation around the agreed project scope.
Structural Input Review
We review supplied structural drawings, engineering information, model files, specifications and required deliverables.
Structural Model Development
Steel, concrete, reinforcement, foundations and other required elements are developed within the structural BIM model.
Coordination Review
The structural model can be reviewed with architectural and MEP information where multi-discipline coordination forms part of the scope.
Model & Documentation Delivery
Required model files, views, sections, schedules and structural documentation are organized for delivery.
Structural Information Reviewed During Model Development
The review scope depends on the supplied structural information and agreed BIM deliverables.
- Levels and grids
- Columns and beams
- Slabs and foundations
- Structural walls
- Reinforcement information
- Structural interfaces
What We Review During Structural BIM Development
Model checks focus on maintaining consistency between supplied structural information and the required BIM model content.
Review project reference levels and structural grid information used by the model.
Check beams, columns and applicable framing against supplied structural information.
Review required foundations and associated structural geometry within the model.
Check slabs, walls, columns and other concrete elements included in scope.
Review reinforcement information and schedules where included in the structural BIM scope.
Updated structural information can be incorporated into subsequent model revisions.
Structural BIM Coordination With Other Disciplines
Structural models can be reviewed alongside relevant architectural and MEP information where those models form part of the project coordination workflow.
Model development should reference the latest supplied structural drawings and engineering information.
Confirm structural systems, detailing requirements, coordination scope and expected deliverables.
Updated drawings and project information can be incorporated into subsequent model-development cycles.
