BIM MANAGEMENT:
During the Design Development phase, vConstruct leverages Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance design visualization, coordination, and constructability. As the design evolves, our BIM model adapts to reflect the latest details, providing all stakeholders with real-time, accurate information. Through proactive BIM management, we foster collaboration, mitigate risks, and prevent design errors—ensuring greater precision, efficiency, and integrity from concept to completion.
BIM EXECUTION PLAN CREATION AND REVIEW:
The BIM Execution Plan addresses the targeted BIM uses on the project, delineates roles and responsibilities of each company, and defines the detail and scope of information to be modeled and shared, relevant processes, team setup, rules of engagement and supporting software.
COMMON DATA ENVIRONMENT SETUP AND MANAGEMENT:
Setting up and maintenance of construction data on a Common Data Environment (CDE) helps construction project in digital documentation, enhanced file exchange and collaboration, seamless version control, improved efficiency, single source of real time information access to each stakeholder and easy scalability of data. The data can also be used to draw analytics for a certain project or for a group of projects to share key insights with clients.
BIM COORDINATION:
BIM Coordination facilitates an efficient resolution of interdisciplinary clashes and issues among various disciplines like architecture, structure and MEPF by identifying them virtually during the preconstruction phase. This proactive approach minimizes rework on-site, reduces material and manpower wastage and saves both time and costs. In addition to addressing spatial conflicts, BIM Coordination also helps in clear visualization of constructibility issues and opportunities for value engineering, leading to better planning and enhanced project quality.

Issue Dashboard
We engage with design and subcontractor teams to close any critical issues by driving the BIM Coordination meetings and keeping the owner updated on the issue resolution status using real time data dashboards.
MODEL AUTHORING:
Model authoring based on intended BIM use forms the most critical pre-requisite for BIM Coordination.
A precise BIM model not only facilitates BIM Coordination but aids in enhanced visualization, enables prefabrication opportunities, helps with real time quantity take-offs, digitized field layouts and sustainability analyses.
By investing time and resources in creating a precise model, project teams can streamline communication and decision-making processes throughout the entire construction lifecycle. This approach not only improves project efficiency but also significantly reduces errors and omissions, leading to substantial cost savings and improved project outcomes.
Furthermore, a well-authored BIM model becomes an invaluable asset for facility management post-construction. It provides a comprehensive digital twin of the building, enabling efficient maintenance, renovations, and future expansions. The long-term benefits of accurate model authoring extend far beyond the initial construction phase, offering a robust return on investment throughout the building's lifecycle.

MODELING FOR PREFABRICATION:
BIM allows for the creation of highly accurate digital prototypes that can be used to fabricate components offsite with minimal errors. This reduces waste, lowers costs and speeds up project timelines. The models also facilitate better planning and logistics, ensuring that prefabricated elements are delivered and assembled on-site with precision.
MODEL BASED QUANTITY TAKE OFF:
This process allows for the automated extraction of precise measurements and accurate quantities from data-rich modeled elements. The metadata embedded in BIM models facilitates easy visualization, categorization, and management of these quantities.
ONSITE BIM SUPPORT:
The Onsite BIM Manager is essential for successfully implementing BIM processes in projects. By coordinating with multiple stakeholders, the manager ensures that issues are resolved and accurately reflected in the drawings. The manager also assists contractors with construction by providing virtual walkthroughs of the building, addressing immediate queries utilizing the BIM station on-site.
