Fire Safety BIM Modeling Process at SmartCADD

At SmartCADD, we follow a structured and comprehensive Fire Safety BIM Modeling process to ensure that our clients receive the most accurate and efficient results. Our process includes the following steps:

Project Assessment
Analysing the client’s project requirements, including the scope, scale, and complexity of the building’s fire safety system. This initial assessment helps us determine the appropriate level of detail (LOD) needed for the BIM model and the best approach to complete the project.
Data Collection
We gather all relevant data from the client, such as 2D drawings, specifications, codes, and standards, to create a solid foundation for the BIM model. This information helps us understand the client’s unique fire safety needs and tailor our services accordingly.
Model Creation
Our experienced BIM modellers use cutting-edge software, such as Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and Revizto, to develop a detailed and accurate 3D BIM model of the building’s fire safety system. This model includes fire sprinklers, fire alarms, fire suppression systems, and all other necessary components.
Model Validation
To ensure code compliance and design accuracy, our team of Fire Engineers carefully reviews the 3D BIM model against local and international fire safety standards. This validation process helps identify any potential design issues or conflicts before construction begins.
Clash Detection and Coordination
Our team conducts clash detection and coordination to identify and resolve any conflicts between the fire safety system and other building systems, such as MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) components. This step ensures seamless integration of the fire safety system within the overall building design.
Documentation and Shop Drawings
We create detailed shop drawings and construction documents based on the validated 3D BIM model. These drawings include information on fire sprinkler and valve heads, pump head & fire head calculation, fire pump room, branch line, and mains line, ensuring smooth and speedy installation.
4D and 5D BIM Integration
Our team integrates 4D scheduling and 5D cost estimation into the fire safety BIM model, providing clients with valuable information on project timelines, cost estimates, and resource management.
Delivery
Once the Fire Safety BIM Modeling process is complete, we deliver the final 3D model, documentation, and shop drawings to the client. Our team remains available to provide ongoing support, address any questions or concerns, and assist with revisions or updates as needed.
