Enhanced construction and operational management through data virtualization and digitalization by using BIM

Advanced technologies are providing opportunities to create sustainable infrastructures by using virtual and collaborative BIM platforms to identify and resolve early-stage design conflicts and operational challenges optimizing efficiency with construction, operational, and overall infrastructure lifecycle management costs. BIM is a process for defining, creating, and managing all information about every aspect of your physical projects, and thus, in essence, a “digital twin” of your entire project. BIM enables project managers to build a virtual version of their project before they actually start physical construction and management of assets and buildings post construction, eliminating many of the inefficiencies and problems that arise during their operational lifespan.

Avineon’s BIM services are trusted by customers across the globe in a variety of sectors, including architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC); hospitality; municipalities; and retail. The experience of our people in combination with our continual investments in innovation and technology, our established management practices, and our strong focus on quality empower us to provide efficient 3D BIM services, including 4D and 5D solutions, to improve your construction management efficiency.

Collaboration

Cloud platforms, like Revit 360, facilitate a collaborative way of working in BIM, enabling visibility of what is happening at each stage of the project to all stakeholders and avoiding duplicated work.

Shop
Drawings

So-called “shop drawings” are detailed construction drawings that include fabrication and installation details, structural steel details, windows and door installations, and other MEP components. They hence facilitate the pre-fabrication/assembling of components elsewhere, and then shipping them to the construction site just in time, to speed up construction.

Visibility

Models can be made very realistic and adding VR, AR, and MR enables end users to visualize their projects before construction. If required, suggestions for change can be made during both design and construction stages and, during operations, models can be used for simulations to optimize the efficiency of the asset throughout its lifespan.

Facilities
Management

Post-construction as-built models can be used to improve facilities management for operations and maintenance, the longest life cycle from initiation to demolition of any infrastructure, ultimately contributing to huge cost savings.

Sustainability

3D models can be used for computerized analysis, such as structural analysis, seismic load analysis, energy analysis (including green buildings), lighting analysis, etc., ultimately supporting the design of sustainable infrastructures and buildings.

Our Approach in BIM

Focusing on the successful use of BIM for a client, Avineon utilizes expertise from our three core capabilities of digital modernization, engineering support, and spatial intelligence to understand the impact of BIM on a construction project and/or with management of operations.

 

From consulting and planning to design and implementation and to sustainment and growth, Avineon ensures that clients get the most value out of BIM as assets are created, utilized, and retired. Leveraging best practices in project management and processes, Avineon is an invaluable partner who can bring a unique combination of subject matter expertise, technology, and a delivery model that optimizes the return on investment from building information modeling.

Design

From consulting to model design, a planned approach implementing BIM and related technologies as well as the scope of virtualization leads to an optimized return on value from pre-construction to post-construction and further operations management.

BIM Consultancy

Avineon helps clients understand the process of incorporating BIM for asset creation, management, and maintenance from inception to decommissioning.

 

With expertise of legacy systems and drawings as well as technical knowledge on how to practically implement new BIM technology, Avineon consults to clients on the best way to introduce and/or mature BIM throughout an enterprise.

Cost Estimation

The use of BIM for cost estimation (5D) is a modern approach to document all information required for a building project, which provides estimators with a higher level of accuracy in calculating and estimating the cost of a construction project.

BIM

At Avineon, our clients can get full visibility of the building systems via our 3D BIM services. Our 3D BIM services enable construction firms, asset owners, and building operators to visualize in detail progress of the model creation as a digital twin pre- and post-construction.

 

Avineon carries decades of experience modeling architectural, structural, mechanical and HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire systems.

Implement

Development of 3D models that accurately depict buildings and assets with the right technical platform requires a combination of management and development best practices and mastery of data, technology, and engineering disciplines. Further innovations in augmented and virtual reality can provide additional value with the right implementation approach.

Visualization

Avineon specializes in developing virtual 3D models by using a wide range of inputs, from hand sketches to specification sheets and incorporating more detailed elements that leverage the full capability of technologies like Revit.

Cost Monitoring

With BIM, Avineon offers clients the ability to visually monitor the progress of their construction project along with observing its immediate impact on the cost associated with materials over time.

Creation of As-Builts

Avineon provides as-built models as a reflection of the as-is stage of buildings and assets including MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), architecture, structure, and other fixtures.

 

We create high-quality as-built building information models which capture construction activity, either during creation or after modifications. We can create as-builts from final hard copies, CAD drawings, or laser scanning data.

Sustain and Grow

Effective use and investment into BIM continue to unlock value for an organization with new opportunities for efficiency with the incorporation of geo-spatial features, analytics, maintenance, and further evolution of operations throughout the lifespan of assets.

Geo-Enabling BIM

As part of our GeoBIM expertise, Avineon can geo-enable 3D models by automatically migrating them to a geospatial database.

 

This provides a huge advantage in querying the data based on any of its spatial or non-spatial attributes and carrying out extensive analysis and visualization. This can be done for multiple buildings in an entire city or part of it as chosen by the client.

Next Generation Interaction

With expertise of cutting edge new technologies like augmented, virtual, and mixed reality,

 

Avineon can enable clients to simulate and manage operations in innovative ways that can transform asset management, maintenance, safety, and decision making.
