A unified platform for
BIM Services with Project Management tool.

BuildTwin offers BIM (Building Information Modeling) services to streamline your architecture, engineering and construction projects.

• 3D Modeling and Visualization: Detailed 3D models for better project visualization and decision making.
• BIM Coordination and Clash Detection: Clash detection between different building systems before construction starts.
• 4D and 5D BIM Services: Time (4D) and cost (5D) data in your BIM models for better planning and budgeting.
• BIM Consulting and Implementation: BIM process and best practices adoption within your organization.
• Facility Management BIM (6D BIM): Models enriched with data for maintenance and operation post construction.
• LOD (Level of Development) Specific Models: Models at various LODs (100 to 500) as per project requirement. Our pre-qualified vendors are proficient in using industry leading BIM software like Autodesk Revit, Navisworks and more to deliver high quality models as per your project needs.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is good for construction projects because:

• Better Collaboration: BIM brings architects, engineers, contractors and stakeholders together through one 3D model.
• Better Visualization: 3D models give clear understanding of the project, reducing misunderstandings and errors.
• Clash Detection: Clash detection between building systems saves time and cost of rework.
• Project Management: BIM brings together design, materials, time and cost to make project planning and execution more effective.
• Cost and Time Savings: By streamlining and reducing errors BIM helps in minimizing delays and budget overruns.
• Lifecycle Management: BIM models become a valuable resource for facility management post construction. BIM leads to more efficient, accurate and successful projects.

Both BIM and 3D CAD creates digital models of buildings but there is a big difference:

• Data Integration: BIM models are data rich, each element has properties whereas 3D CAD models are geometry only.
• Collaboration: BIM is real time collaboration with multiple stakeholders whereas 3D CAD is individual discipline.
• Lifecycle Management: BIM is for entire lifecycle of a building from design to construction to operation and maintenance. 3D CAD is for design only.
• Clash Detection and Analysis: BIM has advanced tools for clash detection and project analysis which is not present in traditional 3D CAD.
• 4D, 5D and Beyond: BIM extends to time (4D), cost (5D), sustainability (6D), facility management (7D) and more, a more comprehensive approach than 3D CAD. In short BIM is a holistic process that brings collaboration, efficiency and decision making throughout the project lifecycle.

BIM implementation has challenges:

• Technical Knowledge: Requires BIM software and process knowledge.
• Initial Investment: Software, hardware and training cost is high.
• Process Change: Moving from traditional to BIM requires change in workflow and collaboration.
• Data Management: Managing large amounts of data securely and efficiently is complex.
• Standardization: Compliance to industry standards and project specific requirements.

How BuildTwin Helps:

• Access to Experts: Connect with pre-qualified BIM professionals and vendors who bring the expertise to your project.
• Cost Savings: By outsourcing BIM services through BuildTwin you don’t need to invest heavily upfront.
• Training Programs: BuildTwin offers training to upskill your team in BIM best practices and software.
• Streamlined Process: Our platform has AI powered project management tools to simplify workflow and collaboration.
• Compliance Guarantee: Vendors follow international BIM standards and project specific requirements to deliver high quality output.

BuildTwin makes BIM adoption easy for you to overcome the challenges.

Digital prototyping with BIM has many advantages over traditional 3D modeling:

• Integrated Information: BIM goes beyond 3D geometry by adding data layers like time schedules and cost, 5D BIM, to improve project planning and financial management.
• Facility Management and Operations: BIM integrates facility management and operational data early in the design stage, simulations and asset optimization, to identify and correct errors beforehand.
• Transparent and Optimized Assets: Using as-built BIM models as digital twin ensures the transparency and optimization of the final asset for maximum operational efficiency.
• Cost and Time Savings: By moving from 3D to 7D BIM clash detection happens during design phase and reduces traditional capital expenditure losses and saves time during design, construction and operational phase.

LOD for your project depends on many factors like project phase, complexity and specific requirements. LOD ranges from 100 to 500:

• LOD 100 (Conceptual Design): Basic massing models to represent overall project intent.
• LOD 200 (Schematic Design): Generalized systems and assemblies with approximate quantities, size, shape and location.
• LOD 300 (Detailed Design): Precise modeling with specific assemblies, accurate quantities and dimensions for coordination.
• LOD 350 (Construction Documentation): Interfaces between building elements with detailed coordination.
• LOD 400 (Fabrication and Assembly): Models with complete fabrication and assembly information.
• LOD 500 (As-Built): Represents the project as built for operations and maintenance.

How BuildTwin Helps: Our vendors can deliver BIM models at any LOD for your project. We recommend:

• Early Phases: Start with LOD 100-200 for conceptual and schematic design.
• Design Development: Move to LOD 300-350 for detailed coordination and construction documentation.
• Construction and Fabrication: Use LOD 400 for fabrication details.
• Facility Management: Use LOD 500 for as-built models for long term maintenance. Our experts can help you to decide the right LOD for your project and goals.
