About

Success in the construction industry today is driven by accurate, timely, and well-coordinated projects. To help with this, many architects, engineers and contractors are now utilizing BIM Outsourcing Services as an effective way to maintain high-quality modeling without adding to their existing in-house staffing costs. Through the use of BIM, companies can utilize the expertise of trained individuals, access to state-of-the-art technology, and develop established processes to improve productivity at each phase of a project. At McLine Studios, our BIM outsourcing service will not only create a 3D representation of the completed project but will also provide solutions for the actual construction of the project itself.

 

 

What Are BIM Outsourcing Services?

When it comes to BIM outsourcing Services, you will be assigning your BIM tasks to expert teams that specialize in the creation of intelligent 3D models and construction documentation and coordination drawings. The numerous collaboration opportunities exist between your organization and the BIM partner, enabling you to digitize the following key elements of your project through strategic partnerships:

• BIM 3D modelling (architectural, structural, and MEP)

• Clash detection and coordination

• Construction documentation

• Quantities takeoffs (BOQ) and BOQs

• Scan to BIM

By using BIM outsourcing, construction companies will be able to improve upon their execution capabilities while technical modelling professionals will provide the project’s digital backbone.

 

Why Companies Choose BIM Outsourcing

1. Cost Efficiency: Creating an in-house BIM team necessitates considerable capital to employ and train the team; however, outsourcing offers a lower employee costs yet still meets strict standards of technical excellence.

 

2. Quicker Deliverables: BIM teams work toward established processes for modeling, coordinating, and revising (BIM/Modeling) projects — reducing time to complete such projects.

 

3. Lesser Errors and Rework: Before construction of the buildings commence, clash detection allows for the identification of conflicting architectural, structural, and mechanical-electrical-plumbing (MEP) design systems within the project — preventing costly corrections on site post-construction.

 

4. Scalability: From small residential projects to large multi-building developments, outsourced BIM teams will find their respective capability(s) can expand and contract as requirements change throughout the life cycle of the project.

 

Integration with Shop Drawing Workflows

BIM Outsourcing not only supports 3D Model Creation, but also supports the production of detailed fabrication and construction Shop Drawings.  Accuracy of the BIM Model is critical to ensure that the produced Shop Drawing Sets reflect the true world dimensions, coordinate correctly and are ready for actual installation. This combined approach enhances collaborative efforts among designers, contractors and fabricators - greatly reducing communication errors and project delays.

 

How McLine Studios Supports Global Projects

BIM Outsourcing Services offered by McLine Studios are high-quality and will meet the needs of any Client throughout the entire world. Precision, effective communication, and practical outcomes that will assist with construction workflows are what McLine Studios is all about.  Understanding Project Scope / LOD will occur at the beginning of our process; then we will develop the coordinated BIM model; perform clash detection/resolution; generate both architectural & mechanical construction drawings, shop drawings; and support revisions until the final approved version is received. Utilizing this method will guarantee that there will be a buildable and coordinated model that adheres to the minimum standards established by the industry.

 

Benefits of Working with an Experienced BIM Partner

Selecting the correct outsourcing partner will greatly affect your project success and the reliability of your building information modeling (BIM) team does the following:

 

* Knows how construction happens in the correct chronological order.

 

* Follows the international standards for how we model.

 

* Provides a consistent level of data for every discipline.

 

* Communicates in a timely manner and finishes work on time.

 

If BIM outsourcing has been performed properly, it allows more productive collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and PM's so that your project will have a better chance of being completed on time.

 

Conclusion

BIM Outsourcing Services should now be considered necessary by construction firms as there is now more access and opportunity for firms to enhance modelling capabilities and accuracy of Shop Drawing production in addition to achieving seamless project delivery; all of which lead to increased efficiencies with respect to operational costs. Macline Studios also creates an opportunity for firms to have their documentation completed faster and to provide all construction documents to their respective market more quickly. In this fast-paced industry where time is of the essence, Outsourcing BIM creates an opportunity not only to reduce time lost but also to create a smarter-built environment.
