BIM Modeling & Applications

Lifecycle modeling across design, construction, delivery, and operations—plus specialty services for machine rooms, curtain walls, interior fit-out, and prefabrication

BIM Lifecycle & Application

BIM Modeling & Applications

BIM modeling spans the full project lifecycle: multi-discipline collaborative models in design, detailed updates during construction, as-built digital assets at delivery, and IoT / digital twin integration in operations—extending model value beyond handover.

Beyond standard modeling, we deliver high-precision specialty design modeling and detailed drawings for complex spaces such as machine rooms, curtain walls, interior fit-out, and prefabricated construction—meeting depth and constructability requirements for each scenario.

Full Lifecycle

Full-Lifecycle BIM Modeling

Model depth increases phase by phase, elevating BIM from a design tool to a digital foundation across construction and operations.

Design Phase

Build multi-discipline BIM models for architecture, structure, and MEP; run collaborative design and clash detection; deliver forward drawings and MEP coordination—establishing an accurate baseline for construction detailing.

Model depth: LOD 300–350

  • Multi-discipline BIM collaboration and model verification
  • Clash detection, clearance analysis, and coordinated MEP drawings
  • Forward construction drawings and automatic detail sheets
  • Design deliverables shared across disciplines
BIM design phase — multi-discipline collaborative modeling

Construction Phase

Review and further detail design models; optimize supports and sequences per site needs; use 4D simulation, site layout, and quality/safety controls so models truly guide construction.

Model depth: LOD 400–450

  • Model review, clash/omission checks, and construction detailing
  • 4D schedule simulation and site layout optimization
  • Quality/safety control and visual briefings
  • Quantity takeoff and dynamic model maintenance
BIM construction phase — detailing and site application

Delivery Phase

Consolidate change records, verify as-built models against site conditions, attach asset and O&M data, and produce transferable 3D digital delivery for acceptance and asset registration.

Model depth: LOD 500

  • As-built BIM verification and consistency checks
  • Equipment asset linking and QR export
  • 3D digital delivery and model archiving
  • Delivery model as the O&M data foundation
BIM delivery phase — digital asset handover

Operations Phase

Use as-built models as carriers, fuse IoT sensing data, and build BIM O&M and digital twin visualization platforms for equipment monitoring, space management, and operational decisions.

Model depth: O&M Information Model

  • BIM model and IoT data fusion
  • Equipment monitoring and alert linkage
  • 3D visual O&M and spatial queries
  • Smart operations for campuses, buildings, and machine rooms
BIM operations phase — digital twin platform

MEP Coordination

MEP Coordination

Leveraging Revit’s 3D modeling and clash analysis, MEP coordination and related drawing production is one of BIM’s most mature applications—clearance analysis, clash detection, coordinated drawings, and reserved openings. Optimized routing maximizes usable space, cuts rework cost, and improves construction quality.

  • Clearance Analysis

    Use BIM to check clearance heights by zone, identify insufficient areas, and optimize for better comfort in use.

  • Clash Detection

    Integrate discipline models for clash checks, find conflicts early, and resolve collaboratively in 3D to improve design efficiency.

  • MEP Coordination Optimization

    Improve routing aesthetics, maximize usable space, guide construction with the coordinated model, and raise design quality.

Case Study

MEP Optimization Case

A residential project basement had only 2700 mm clear height under beams. With traditional design (1800×400 mm duct with sprinklers below), finished height was only 2070 mm.

Early BIM study changed the design to two 1000×300 mm ducts with no sprinklers below; finished height became 2220 mm.

This change saved about ¥1.5M on a 40,000 m² basement (150 mm lower floor-to-floor requirement, fewer sprinkler runs, slightly higher duct install cost).
