Top Commercial Construction Design Firms

Design and buildings have been ever since existence. Starting from the paper-pen to blue prints to CAD (computer-aided designing), a long journey has been traveled. Building Information Modeling is a common term about the future of architecture, engineering and construction. Earlier, the technique was specially meant for the architects using the software application. Adopting BIM technique, top commercial construction firms are able to create the 3D models of the buildings. BIM enables easy information sharing with AEC stakeholders for showing the building progress throughout the project lifecycle.

BIM amasses architectural commercial building project virtually, identifying problems at the primary phase, aiding clash detection and resolution. BIM experts of the commercial architecture firms facilitate project coordination for commercial design building, logistics planning, cost optimization and risk mitigation. Competent BIM services benefit commercial design firms through 3D Modeling, 4D Visualization, 5D Cost Estimation, 6D Sustainable Solution, 7D Facility Management and 8D occupational health & safety management.

BIM Techniques Implemented by Top Commercial Construction Firms:

  • 3D Visualization — The visualization of the BIM Model facilitates commercial design build firms to visualize the building in 3D, and update the views of architecture throughout the project life cycle from conception to demolition.
  • 4D Scheduling — 4D BIM Scheduling & Simulation facilitate commercial construction design firms in extracting & visualizing the progress of commercial interiors throughout the project. This helps to reduce clashes & complexity, providing a technique for managing & visualizing information of the architectural commercial buildings.
  • 5D BIM cost estimation — 5D quantity takeoff helps to track the budget and make a cost analysis of commercial architecture. The 5th dimension of BIM associated with 3D and 4D allows commercial design firms to visualize the progress of construction activities as per cost and time.
  • 6D & 7D BIM Facility Management — BIM facilities management enables commercial design buildings to operate & maintain facilities throughout the life cycle, allowing the project participants to track information in the asset like component status, operation manual and warranty data.
  • Prefabrication & Modularization — The technique of prefabricated and modularized construction involves the formation of construction components at a site for commercial interiors before on-site assembly. The method of modular construction constitutes a prefabrication where building components are built in box-like modules and transported to the building site for final assembly.
  • Clash Coordination — BIM Clash Detection & Coordination for commercial architecture firms is executed for coordinating spaces & tolerance for placing the various services in a building. While designing the models for architectural, structural, and MEPFP services, their interconnections result in conflicts pertaining to space allocation. These clashes are resolved through BIM clash detection services.
  • Laser Scan Point Cloud to BIM — Laser Scanning to BIM/ Point Cloud Data Scan helps the commercial design build firms to create a simulation analysis at an early stage of inspecting feasibility. Modeling using point cloud to BIM service data facilitates the commercial architecture design firms to make decisions about wanted or unwanted components and structures of the building.
  • BIM Shop Drawings — Construction shop drawings produced through 3D BIM model by top commercial construction firms are required for prefabricated components, used by contractors, suppliers, manufacturers, subcontractors for installation and coordination in MEP services like piping, fire protection, sheet metal duct, etc.
