3D Modelling
& BIM

We work to BIM Level 2 as defined by PAS 1192-2 and ISO 19650, which is the standard level of BIM on UK public-sector projects and increasingly expected on commercial schemes. We can work to Employer Information Requirements at any level of information need and adapt our approach to the specific project BIM Execution Plan.

We primarily work in Autodesk Revit for architectural and structural modelling, Navisworks for federated model management and clash detection, and AutoCAD for 2D CAD production. We can receive and coordinate models in IFC format from other software platforms.

A federated model is a single combined model built by linking separate discipline models — architecture, structure, MEP — into one coordinated environment. It allows clash detection across disciplines and provides a single point of reference for design coordination. The federated model does not merge the discipline files but references them, so each discipline retains authorship of their own model.

Yes. We produce 3D visualisations, rendered images and walkthrough videos suitable for inclusion in planning applications, pre-application meetings and public consultation. We can also produce construction methodology and phasing animations that illustrate how a development will be built.

Yes. We can prepare the BIM Execution Plan for a project, setting out the project team's approach to information management, model authorship, coordination processes, clash detection responsibilities, common data environment and information delivery at each project stage.
