Whilst general contractors continue to face new challenges in modern construction, BIM continues to evolve and overcome these difficulties for general contractors. At the heart of the construction, MEP systems are crucial and produce significant costs to design, manufacture, and install.
Ambiguities in the MEP layout that are neglected in the initial design stage can cause serious rework, time overruns, and delays. BIM can overcome these challenges for general contractors and garner high value with proven benefits.
Coordinated MEP BIM Model Drives High Efficiencies in Californian Public Park Project
A top-tier construction firm from California, USA approached Hitech CADD Services for BIM modeling requirements regarding a large and complex public park project. The project was initiated with PDF files and conceptual hand-drawn sketches provided as input from the client. The team of experts at Hitech CADD Services carefully analyzed and integrated the IFC drawings & PDF files shared by the client into the modeling process.
Eliminating interdisciplinary clashes through alternate design, and keeping the architectural aesthetics intact, a 3D BIM model at LOD 300 was developed based on AIA regulations. This led to a significant business impact for the client through rework reduction, diminished material waste, negative clash-flow mitigation, improved scheduling, and accurate BOQ/BOMs.

Validating design uniformity through Dynamo improves design performance and model quality. Visual programming through customized nodes can help automation experts build quick prototypes through simplified workflows. High-performance architecture and engineering are driven by automation to calculate GFA, sprinkler locations, set quantity data, etc. Hitech CADD Services can help AEC companies diminish repetitive tasks through Revit model automation in the preconstruction stage.
Successful 4D BIM-powered construction scheduling is possible only through a methodical approach. 4D BIM simulation helps project stakeholders to visualize and create a detailed, streamlined construction schedule with minimum issues. Read our blog that discusses five important tips in the context.
Traditional quantity surveying based on 2D drawings can create challenges for quantity surveyors that lead to delays in planned timelines and budgets. Parametric modeling enables quantity surveyors with auto-adjustment of costs at various project stages through 3D visualization. Informed decision-making in the preconstruction stage reduces the time for estimators through quick and accurate cost estimates from detailed BOM’s or BOQ’s.
5D BIM connects the “cost” factor to a 3D model, making the cost estimation process consistent, automated and precise. The accuracy of the total cost estimate of a construction project relies on the accuracy of quantity takeoff extraction from 3D models and applied unit rates. Understand how cost managers can leverage 5D BIM cost estimation to gain a host of benefits.
Revit Dynamo leverages project data and logic to enable architects, designers, and engineers to automate repetitive tasks. Revit Dynamo Automation enables designers to simplify BIM workflows and processes through computational design and data-driven automation. Exploring multiple design options without having to build them manually is how Dynamo is used in a logical data environment.
Using Dynamo with Revit provides architects, designers, engineers as well as other stakeholders multiple benefits with seamless enhancement possibilities. By creating a common framework of separate elements – BIM models and visual programming – Dynamo virtually creates an integrated platform to deal with and address problems that are disparate in existence and nature.
Revit automation done through Custom Plug-Ins or Dynamo empowers architects and design engineers to achieve true generative designs. By allowing Revit to be more accessible and customized, time-consuming tasks can be automated to build efficient workflows, validate the design, build reports, quickly modify models, etc. Hitech CADD Services assist various architectural firms to overcome design challenges in the pre-construction stage through technology execution for better model performance, and cost and time savings.
Our BIM modelers create parametric models and BIM content for building products as per the manufacturers’ catalog which can be retrieved, modified, and used for building models.
Using Revit family creation services we have delivered parametric Revit families of MEP components for MEP equipment to the Institutional Construction firm from Europe. Check out the full case study.
