BIM model and 5D simulation

A digital model linked to schedule and costs.
BIM model of an industrial building and a process skid

Overview

We build a digital model that brings together all project disciplines: structure, piping, electrical, equipment.

Linked to the schedule (4D) and costs (5D), it becomes a true management tool to anticipate clashes, quantities and deadlines.

Fields of application

  • Multidisciplinary projects
  • Extensions of existing units
  • Site preparation
  • Progress monitoring
  • Quantity estimation
  • Coordination between stakeholders

Our services

01

Clash review

Detection of clashes between disciplines before construction.

02

Quantity take-offs

Automatic extraction of quantities.

03

5D simulation

Link between 3D model, schedule and costs.

04

Management

Progress monitoring and decision support.

05

Federated model

Bringing together the models of all disciplines in a single environment.

06

4D simulation

Visualisation of the construction sequence according to the schedule.

Our method

  1. 1

    Collection

    Retrieval of the models and drawings of each discipline.

  2. 2

    Federation

    Assembly of disciplines into a common model.

  3. 3

    Clash review

    Detection, qualification and follow-up of clash resolution.

  4. 4

    Simulation and management

    Quantity take-offs, link to schedule and costs, progress monitoring.

Deliverables

  • Federated digital model
  • Clash review report
  • Quantities extracted from the model
  • Schedule simulation (4D)
  • Model, schedule and cost link (5D)
  • Drawings and views extracted from the model

What you gain

  • Clashes resolved before construction
  • Reliable quantities
  • A schedule that is visualised and shared
  • Concrete decision support

Tools used

Frequently asked questions

What do 4D and 5D mean?

4D links the model to the schedule; 5D adds costs.

Which disciplines are brought together?

Structure, piping, electrical and equipment.

What is the clash review for?

To detect interferences between disciplines before construction, when fixing them costs the least.
