LET US CLEAN, MODEL, COORDINATE AND MAINTAIN ALL THE FRAMING AND WALL MEMBERS FOR YOUR MEP COORDINATION. WE BRING VERY STRONG DESIGN, MODEL, FRAMING KNOWLEDGE AND COORDINATION EXPERIENCE TO YOUR TEAM IN PRECON PHASE.

• BIM COORDINATION IS NOT COMPLETE UNLESS YOU INCLUDE ALL TRADES. WE ALSO MODEL AND COORDINATE THE FOLLOWING TRADES FOR YOUR BIM CONVENIENCE:
  • ACT CEILINGS
  • CABINETS
  • MISC STEEL
  • MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
• DO NOT LEAVE 4D (SCHEDULING) AND 5D(COST) FOR LATER PART OF BIM COORDINATION. LEARN HOW TO REVOLUTIONIZE THIS FROM FRAMING AND DRYWALL CONSTRUCTION PERSPECTIVE.
• ARCHITECTS NEED TO EVOLVE ALONG WITH YOU TO DELIVER THE MOST EFFICIENT BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL. IN FACT, THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS LIES WITH THEIR EVOLVING MODELS. LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS TO ARCHITECT AND HELP THEM ACHIEVE IT.
• GENERAL CONTRACTOR IS THE ENFORCER OF IPD USING BIM EFFORT. WE WOULD LOVE TO SHARE OUR BEST AND WORST EXPERIENCES FROM VARIOUS PROJECTS AND SHOW YOU THE EVOLVING BEST PRACTICES IN THE "BIG ROOM ENVIRONMENT".

• WHAT IS THE "BIM DURATION" AND WHO IS NEEDED FOR HOW LONG?
• WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SIZE OF THE PROJECT AND BIM ESTIMATE?
• WHAT ARE THE BIM DELIVERABLES FOR DRYWALL AND FRAMING CONTRACTOR?
• ARE SHOP DRAWINGS INCLUDED? WHAT MUST THEY HAVE AT MINIMUM?
• HOW MUCH BIM TIME TO ACCOUNT FOR "PRE-CONSTRUCTION" AND "CONSTRUCTION" PHASES?
• HOW TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE CHANGES DURING PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND WHAT ARE THEIR COST IMPACTS?

• WITH EVER INCREASING PRESSURE OF KEEPING COSTS DOWN, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ASSEMBLE YOUR BIM TEAM WITH MOST EFFICIENT PEOPLE. PART OF YOUR BIM TEAM SHOULD EVOLVE FROM ALREADY EXISTING MEMBERS OF YOUR OPERATIONS TEAM. WITH RIGHT TRAINING, YOUR CONSTRUCTION/FIELD EMPLOYEES SHOULD BECOME A PART OF YOUR BIM EFFORT. THIS MAKES SURE THAT THE CULTURE OF YOUR COMPANY REMAINS THE FOUNDATION OF THE "BIM TEAM".
• TECHNOLOGY PART OF THE BIM IS WHERE BIMEVOLVE WANTS TO COME TO YOUR AID. WE CAN TRAIN YOUR ALREADY EXISTING "DRAFTING" TEAM TO TAKE THAT NEXT STEP IN THE BIM WORLD. WE CAN ALSO HELP YOU FIND AND TRAIN THE RIGHT BIM MEMBER(S) FOR YOUR TEAM. MOST IMPORTANTLY, BIMEVOLVE CAN MENTOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM THRU FIRST SEVERAL BIM PROJECTS TO HELP YOU CREATE THE RIGHT FOUNDATION.
• AND WHEN CERTAIN BIM PROJECTS DEMAND EXTRA SKILL AND RESOURCES THAT YOU DON'T HAVE, BIMEVOLVE IS THERE TO OFFER THAT HELP.

• THIS IS ONE OF THE SINGLEMOST GREY AREAS FOR DRYWALL AND FRAMING CONTRACTORS AS IT ALWAYS EVOLVING. BUT OUR RECENT EXPERIENCES AND VERY ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN BIM ENVIRONMENT IS EXPOSING WHAT MATTERS FOR US AS METAL FRAMERS. AND ITS MORE THAN JUST JAMB STUDS AND FEW ABOVE CEILING MEMBERS. PLEASE CONSULT US TO FIND OUT:
• WHAT DIFFERENT LEVEL OF DETAILS (LOD) FOR DRYWALL AND FRAMING CONTRACTOR ARE?
• WHAT FRAMING MEMBERS SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT BE REPRESENTED IN THE MODEL?
• HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MODEL THESE?
• HOW SHOULD YOUR MODELERS INTERACT WITH YOUR ENGINEERS AND CONSTRUCTION TEAM AT AFFECTIVELY REPRESENT THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT?
• HOW TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE CHANGES DURING PRE-CONSTRUCTION AND WHAT THEIR COST AND SCHEDULE IMPACTS ARE?
• LEARN HOW TO USE THE COORDINATED CONSTRUCTION MODEL DURING THE CONSTRUCTION.
• HOW TO EXTRACT FRAMING INFORMATION OUT OF THE COORDINATED CONSTRUCTION MODEL FOR YOUR SHOP DRAWINGS?
• WHAT KIND OF 2D LAYOUT SHOP DRAWINGS ARE REQUIRED AS "BIM" SUBMITTALS?
• HOW TO USE NAVISWORKS THRU-OUT YOUR COMPANY BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PRE-CON PHASE? WE WILL TRAIN ALL NECESSARY BIM PERSONELL FROM PROJECT MANAGER TO FIELD FOREMAN IN THE SIMPLEST WAY.
• WE MODEL, CLASH AND PRODUCE SHOP DRAWINGS FOR YOUR ENTIRE TEAM:
  • REVIT LOD 300, 400, 500
  • WALK YOUR FIELD TEAM THRU CLASH DETECTION.
  • PRODUCE SHOP DRAWINGS:
    • FRAMING/FINISH DIMENSIONED SHOPS
    • QML LAYOUT SHOPS
    • CEILING PLANS WITH SECTIONS
    • DETAILED MATERIAL TAKEOFF SCHEDULES FROM COORDINATED MODEL.
    • PRIORITY WALL SHOPS
    • BACKING SHOPS
    • CONTROL JOINT LAYOUT SHOPS
    • EXTERIOR PLASTER SHOPS
    • EXTERIOR FRAMING LAYOUT
    • TOP TRACK LAYOUT SHOPS
    • DRYWALL BREAKDOWN SHOPS
    • PANELIZED WALL FRAMING SHOPS
    • EXTERIOR PANELIZED FRAMING SHOPS AND TICKETS

AS BIM/IPD PROCESS EVOLVES, ALL TRADES ARE SCRAMBLING TO STAY ACTIVE IN BIG ROOM ENVIRONMENT. ALSO AS CONSTRUCTION PHASE MOVES FROM FIELD TO A BIG ROOM, IT PAYS TO BE VEY PRODUCTIVE IN A VERY SHORT TIME. NOT ONLY YOU AS A SUB-CONTRACTOR IS ASKED TO HELP THE OWNER, ARCHITECT AND THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THE SPACE THAT YOUR WALLS AND CEILING OCCUPY. YOUR PRODUCTION RATES AND BOTTOM LINE DEPEND ON IT. THEREFORE IT BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BE FULLY INFORMED. SOME OF THE KEY ITEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ARE:

• WHO SHOULD YOU SEND TO WEEKLY BIG ROOM MEETINGS AND WHEN?
• HOW CAN YOU KEEP YOUR PROJECT MANAGER ENGAGED IN BIG ROOM MEETINGS WITHOUT SENDING HIM TO ONE EVERY WEEK AND WASTING HIS PRECIOUS TIME?
• HOW MUCH TIME IS SPENT BEFORE AND AFTER BIG ROOM MEETING TO STAY AFFECTIVE?
• HOW CAN YOUR "BIM TEAM" EFFICIENTLY PARTICIPATE FROM YOUR OFFICE?
• HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD YOU ESTIMATE FOR THESE WEEKLY MEETINGS AND FOR HOW LONG?
• WHAT ARE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN AND HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THEM SUCCESSFULLY?

• MAYBE YOU ALREADY HAVE STARTED CLIMBING THE BIM LADDER. AS YOU KNOW BIM IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING AND BIMEVOLVE PRIDES ITSELF IN FINDING THAT RIGHT MIXTURE BETWEEN THE EVOLVING BIM TECHNOLOGY AND THE BEST CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES. WE ARE ALWAYS COMING UP WITH SMARTER WAYS OF BUILDING THE BIM MODEL. BECAUSE OF OUR SPECIALIZED BACKGROUND OF 20 YEARS IN EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR WALL AND CEILING USING LIGHT GAUGE METAL FRAMING AND COMPLEX THEMED FINISHES, WE HAVE COME TO KNOW THE BEST PRACTICES IN TECHNOLOGY THAT WORK PERFECTLY WITH YOUR CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES ALL THE WAY FROM CONCEPT TO FABRCIATION. AS WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING WITH COMPLEX SOFTWARES IN CONSTRUCTION, WE HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN SIMPLE CAD SOFTWARES EVOLVE INTO ADVANCECD BIM TOOLS:
• AUTOCAD TO ARCHITECTURAL DESKOP,MECHANICAL DESKTOP TO INVENTOR, RHINO, REVIT ARCHITECTURE, NAVISWORKS MANAGE/FREEDOM TO NAME A FEW.
• JUST AS SOFTWARES ARE EVOLVING, CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DELIVERY METHODS ARE ALSO EVOLVING INTO INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY (IPD) METHODS USING BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL (BIM) AS A TECHNOLOGY MEANS AND METHOD TOOL.
• THEREFORE IT BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO STAY PAR WITH THIS EVOLUTION IN OUR CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.
• REVIT WALL TECHNIQUES FOR LIGHT GAUGE METAL FRAMER, DRYWALL AND CEILING CONTRACTOR.
• REVIT CEILING TECHNIQUES FOR ALL ABOVE CEILINGS AND SOFFITS THAT REPRESENT ACCURATE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES.
• HOW TO HANDLE COMPLEX WALL AND CEILING GEOMETRIES IN BIM MODEL.
• ADVICE ON HOW TO EFFICIENTLY CONSTRUCT REVIT MODELS THAT ARE SIMPLE TO USE FOR CONTRACTORS BIM COORDINATION AND SHOP DRAWINGS.
• LEARN HOW TO INTEGRATE NAVISWORKS MANAGE INTO YOUR BIM PRACTICES MORE INTELLIGENTLY.
• HOW TO BETTER PREPARE BIM MODELS RIGHT FROM THE START FOR USE IN NAVISWORKS LATER ON.
• HOW TO PREPARE COORDINATED CONSTRUCTION MODEL FOR USE IN FIELD.
• "LEAN" COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR PROJECT MANAGER AND CONSTRUCTION TEAM IS CRUCIAL FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE BIM PROJECT. LEARN THESE METHODS.
• COMMUNICATION WITH THE DESIGN TEAM (ARCHITECTS) HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY IN BIM/IPD PROCESS. LEARN HOW AND WHEN TO INTERACT WITH THEM AND MAKE THE MOST OF WHEN THAT WINDOW OF COMMUNICATION OPENS FOR BRIEF MOMENT DURING THE PROCESS.
• GENERAL CONTRACTOR IS THE KEY TO THE MAJOR SUCCESS OF YOUR ROLE IN THE BIM/IPD PROCESS. YOU ARE EXPECTED NOT TO JUST FIT IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, BUT ARE SUPPOSED TO CONTRIBUTE AND PARTICIPATE VERY ACTIVELY. LEARN HOW TO SET YOURSELF APART AND BE THE MVP BOTH TO YOUR COMPANY AND YOUR CUSTOMERS.

UNDERSTANDING LOD AND INCORPORATING MODELING & COORDINATION FOR PREFAB: BIM allows visualizing virtual reproductions of the building or making 3D models that help to correct problems or better choose the materials and, above all, reduce execution costs. BIM enables prefab or modular construction with more efficient workflows than in traditional construction. BIM Evolve works side by side with other construction trades to ensure MEP penetrations are worked out so that prefab materials are accurate.

INCORPORATING THE FIELD WITH THE BIM TEAM: BIM Evolve believes in working hand in hand with the Field Team in resolving issues, this is done on our part by creating intelligent shops which include Framing and Finish Dimensions, MEP Overlays on all shops and text for MEP penetration points. Above all, BIM Evolve wants to train your field in innovative construction tech such as the Hololens, and using Navisworks.

TRAINING FIELD IN BIM EXTRACTION AND USING BIM ROBOTIC LAYOUT: BIM Evolve believes in training the field to use BIM tools such as Navisworks to better understand MEP coordinated models that will help them organize how to build during construction. In conjunction with training in BIM extraction, BIM Evolve wants to help your field become more efficient by using robotic layout tools as well.
