VIRTUAL BUILDING TECHNOLOGY for OWNERS & DEVELOPERS
CONSAC BIM SOLUTIONS
ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS
CONSAC provides a comprehensive range of architectural, engineering and interior design development, BIM modeling and documentation services to leading international design firms. We work as an “Extended Studio”, seamlessly integrating client’s processes and standards to deliver projects from schematic design through construction documents.Using sketches, 2D drawings, and mark-ups, our team translates designer’s ideas into BIM model and design drawings. BIM models are developed progressively from LOD 100 at concept/schematic stage, to LOD 200 at design development stage, and LOD 300/350 at construction document stage. Models created are coordinated with other trades periodically, to ensure optimized, value-engineered design. Construction documents are prepared based on our client’s documentation and detailing standards. Strict Quality Assurance processes are implemented on all projects. Based on stage of a project and client standards, we customize our quality check templates to ensure that work delivered matches client’s own quality and graphic standards.

GENERAL CONTRACTORS
CONSAC specializes in providing complete range of Virtual Construction services to General Contractors. By leveraging our design and construction experience, we virtually construct existing condition models, and simulate the construction of structure, MEP and architecture systems, based on the construction drawings provided by the design team.We firmly believe that the conventional “BIM modelling” process does not provide value and output that a general contractor would benefit from. Apart from the trade coordination, our customised“Virtual Construction” process enables us to identify and address errors-omissions on drawings, constructability architects and engineers with extensive design and construction experience, in North America. We understand how construction materials, methodologies and techniques are used in various parts of the world. Our 13 years experience working with some of the most reputed construction firms enables us to add value, andcontribute more than a mere BIM modeling team issues, construction sequence clashes, and accessibility and maintenance issues. LOD 400 models created are used to produce coordinated shop drawings. LOD 500 models are developed for As-built and Facility Management purposes.

Sub Contractors
Team CONSAC works closely with mechanical, electrical, fire protection and interior sub-contractors. We create (or develop) BIM models based on the trade-specific requirements. Models are created using construction drawings, material specification, specific fitting, and equipment selected for each trade.In case design models are available, we perform BIM Audit and transform them into LOD 400 trade-specific models for further coordination, shop drawings production or any other use. We also participate in BIM workshops organized by GC, as sub-contractor’s virtual construction team. Using 2D drawings, scan data, or construction drawings, our team “virtually constructs” each building system, as a “virtual contractor”. Discrepancies found on the construction drawings are reported, and error-omissions rectified. Constructability issues and trade coordination clashes are reported and collaboratively resolved. Building systems are visualized by sub-contractorsteam as well as other trades, and value-engineering possibilities are discussed. 4D Construction sequencing and schedule-based quantities extracted from BIM models can be used for procurement. Strict Quality Assurance processes are implemented on all projects. Models are created based on material specification and shop drawing standards. Our standard quality check templatesare customized to ensure that work delivered matches client’s own quality and graphic standards.

Owners and Developers
Poor use of data, coupled with highly fragmented project teams, costs owners and developers huge avoidable business losses. Statistically, over 60% of large projects fail to meet cost and schedule targets, 30% of construction cost is rework, and over 55% of maintenance is reactive. However, now BIM technology is helping owners and developers reduce losses, minimize risk, and improve profit margins. All large and progressive developers are now mandating BIM use on their projects. We provide following BIM enabled services to owners and developers.
