Virtual Design
Expert engineering design services, delivering innovative and tailored solutions to bring your projects to life, from concept to completion.
Virtual built services use advanced technology like Building Information Modeling (BIM) to streamline the construction process, enhancing collaboration, accuracy, and efficiency. These services help in creating virtual models of buildings and infrastructure before construction begins, allowing for detailed planning, simulation, and optimization of the design.
Here’s a breakdown of the virtual built services offered:
1. MERF Virtual Design
MERF (Mechanical, Electrical, Refrigeration, and Fire Protection) Virtual Design focuses on the comprehensive digital representation of mechanical, electrical, refrigeration, and fire protection systems within a construction project. Key components include:
-> BIM Models of Mechanical Systems: Designing HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), plumbing, and other building services in a digital format to ensure proper integration.
-> Electrical and Fire Protection Systems: Creating virtual layouts for electrical systems, lighting, fire alarms, and sprinklers, allowing seamless coordination across disciplines.
-> Refrigeration Systems: Specific to industries needing refrigeration, this service ensures proper system design and spatial coordination.
2. Architectural Virtual Modelling
This service involves creating a detailed BIM model of the building’s architectural elements, which includes:
-> BIM Representation of Floor Plans and Elevations: A digital version of the architectural design with accurate details of walls, doors, windows, finishes, and materials.
-> Visualizations and Walkthrough: Enabling virtual tours or walkthroughs of the proposed design, allowing stakeholders to visualize the space before construction begins.
-> Material Selection and Aesthetic Detailing: Models are enhanced with textures, colors, and realistic finishes to provide an accurate representation of the final structure.
3. Clash Detection
Clash detection is a vital process that identifies and resolves potential conflicts between different building systems in the virtual model before construction starts. It includes:
-> Detecting Design Conflicts: Identifying where mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or structural systems might overlap or interfere with one another in a shared space.
-> Preventing On-Site Delays: By resolving these conflicts in the virtual model, costly delays, and modifications during construction can be avoided.
-> Improving Collaboration: Enabling various teams (architects, engineers, contractors) to work together on resolving clashes, thus improving coordination.
4. BIM Coordination
BIM (Building Information Modeling) Coordination ensures all disciplines involved in a project (architecture, structural, MEP) work from the same centralized BIM model. This service includes:
-> Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Ensuring seamless integration between architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing models.
-> Streamlining Design and Construction: By coordinating the BIM model, construction teams have clear, accurate information, reducing errors and inefficiencies.
-> Scheduling and Phasing Plans: The BIM model can also help coordinate construction schedules, ensuring the right resources are deployed at the right time.
5. Structural Virtual Modelling
This service focuses on the BIM modeling of the building’s structural components, such as foundations, beams, columns, and load-bearing walls. Key aspects include:
-> Detailed Structural Models: Virtual representation of all structural elements, providing insights into load distribution, material use, and constructability.
-> Structural Integrity Analysis: Allows engineers to assess the strength and stability of the design and adjust accordingly before construction begins.
-> Seamless Coordination: Structural models are coordinated with other disciplines (MEP, architectural) to avoid clashes and ensure proper integration.
6. BIM Design for Construction
This service is aimed at creating highly detailed, construction-ready models that contractors and builders can use directly in the field. It involves:
-> Detailed Construction Drawings: BIM models are detailed to a high level of precision, offering information that can be directly translated into construction plans.
-> Material and Quantity Information: The BIM model provides exact details about materials, quantities, and specifications needed for construction.
-> Coordination for Construction Teams: The model is shared with all construction teams to ensure everyone is working from the same data, reducing miscommunication and rework.
7. Quantification
Quantification in BIM refers to the process of extracting accurate quantities of materials, labour, and costs from the BIM model. This helps in:
-> Cost Estimation: Providing precise material take-offs and cost breakdowns, ensuring budget accuracy from the early design phase.
-> Optimizing Resource Allocation: Helping project managers understand how much material and labour are required at each phase of construction.
-> Reducing Waste: Accurate quantification reduces material waste and helps streamline the supply chain by providing accurate order quantities.
8. BIM Audit
A BIM audit reviews and assesses the quality, accuracy, and completeness of the BIM model. This process involves:
-> Model Quality Checks: Ensuring that the BIM model meets industry standards and project-specific requirements.
-> Data Integrity: Verifying that all the information in the model is accurate, up to date, and properly linked.
-> Compliance Review: Checking that the model complies with applicable regulations and client specifications.
-> Recommendations for Improvement: Offering insights on how to improve the model for better performance, coordination, or accuracy.
