BIM Standard Creation
At SmartCADD, we realize that the true benefits of BIM can be achieved only when the efforts across contractors, end users, and the multiple stakeholders is coordinated and standardized.
We help our customers in creation of BIM standards to ensure consistent use of BIM across various stages of a building project. Our services ensure continuity and higher productivity for our customers’ projects and assure of sustainable BIM implementation right from conceptualization to design and completion of the project.
BIM Assessment
With our BIM Assessment services, you can get insights to measure the level of different aspects of BIM adoption within your project, identify the success areas and benefits of BIM implementation and the areas of improvement to take better advantage of the benefits of BIM. You can separately assess the performance of different stakeholders involved in the construction activity; like the contractors, designers, and owners; and track the progress of BIM maturity through the construction phase to handover.
We help you get an in-depth understanding of your current conditions and where you should be in order to achieve your business objectives.
Conceptual Visualization
We enable you to communicate your designs and concept holistically by means of a powerful virtual walkthrough for your clients with near-realistic presentation of your ideas. Our advanced visualization techniques give you the power of analytics by supporting data integration, enable you to project accurate views with the flexibility in object positions and proportions, and allow you to zoom in on any errors in your 3D model right at the conceptual phase of the project.
As-built Documentation
SmartCADD has a reputation among its customers for providing reliable and accurate as-built BIM models and as-built documentation that much improves their construction productivity. Our highly efficient as-built models and documentation capture all kinds of changes that happen during the time of construction so that you have the precise information during and after the work is completed. Our as-built documentation offers you exact estimation of materials needed or helps you to plan your labour resources, build your electrical and lighting plan for the building, and much more. We provide as-built documentation that satisfies varied needs of our clients.
Detail Design
A/S Model Production
SmartCADD’s expert team of architects, engineers, and other building professionals offer you high quality and precise 3D models and documentation to help you effectively design, plan, and construct buildings equipped with accurate insights and tools. Our advanced modelling capabilities allow you to assemble buildings virtually so that you can save time and money before and during construction. A structural analysis by our experienced team suggests necessary design changes to your project with a 3D model to build a structure that is architecturally most feasible.
Preliminary Clash Detection
Clash detection in the preliminary stages of design and construction is crucial. It has a significant impact on the design decisions of a building and it identifies clashes and lack of coordination so that they can be addressed at an early stage and preventative measures can be taken to clear up errors. SmartCADD works with you to identify and work around any issues with the project model. Eliminate technical oversights, foresee any impending functional clashes, and avoid supply-chain crisis with our suggestive feasible design alterations. This way you can remove interruptions to the construction process and meet your project timelines within the defined budget and quality parameters.
Building Services Route Calculation
Building services play a critical role in determining the building design in a project. It not only affects the aesthetics and façade engineering, but also impacts the placement and location of various services, major equipment like fire extinguishers, drainage, and so on. Therefore, the design of building services should be considered within the bigger picture of building design from a very initial stage of the project. With the help of BIM, we can provide you the required algorithms that automatically calculate routes of the building services from one point to any other point in the network.
3D Visualization
We at SmartCADD place special emphasis on virtualization so that the designers, architects, and developers see the virtual models that are barely different from the real project. Our realistic 3D models help you visualize the designs and conceptual plans in the most effective manner to improve the review process and eliminate errors in the advanced building process. Identify possible discrepancies in the building design with our 3D visualization services, that include detailed and comprehensive 3D architectural designs and 3D renderings of the actual design, materials, fixtures, and the like.
Construction Documentation
A/S 3D BIM Model
We are the experts in architectural construction drawings, providing sequential data on the construction processes to those involved in the construction such as builders, designers, engineers, contractors, suppliers, manufacturers, and the likes. With SmartCADD’s varied level of detailing with 3D BIM services, you can communicate the design intent and specifications to concerned parties to help facilitate workflow and improve efficiency and profitability of your project with benefits like reduced change orders, schedule compression and optimization, and efficient handover.
MEPF 3D BIM Model
3D BIM improves efficiency, coordination, and collaboration among all construction participants by making them stay connected with each other and with the dynamic digital information in BIM that represents the entire project. With our MEPF 3D BIM services, you can conveniently and rapidly layout mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire extinguishing systems and easily coordinate design with architecture and structure. Detect and resolve clashes proactively and see any change to a component automatically trigger changes to other linked components, speeding up your project to completion.
Clash Detection and Coordination
Speed up your project and eliminate budget overshoots and project completion delays by identifying clashes among several design models of different disciplines – like those created by structural engineers, MEP engineers, environmental engineers, and more. These multiple and varied design models are integrated together with our 3D BIM project models that identify and report clash detections and coordinate to reduce faults and inadequacies in your document stage before you move to on-site construction work.
A/S IFC Drawing
SmartCADD offers specialist IFC drawing services at all stages of your construction process. Outsource the time-consuming and tricky activity of creation and extraction of your Issued For Construction (IFC) drawings to our experts who have a rich experience of working in varied construction projects and who are equipped with the right technical skills to make it easy for you to carry out the project specifications without too many RFIs and design issues. Our engineers are the experts in BIM modelling and they use the most advanced BIM software to meet your exact requirements and turn them into standardized drawings that can be easily interpreted by contractors.
MEPF Shop Drawings
We truly understand just how important MEPF shop drawings are for architects, engineers, and fabricators involved in building construction and, more importantly, towards the profitability of a project. SmartCADD offers high quality and reliable shop drawing services giving you a realistic blueprint of the installation of various MEPF components from your construction documents. Our skilled team of MEP engineers help you with time-consuming shop drawings with specific focus on minimizing construction costs, faster task completion, and meeting construction standards that assist you with tighter project schedules and optimization of all construction materials and resources.
