BIM MODEL AUDITING
Our team of expert BIM consultants works with clients all around the world to ensure that your 3D BIM models are accurate and consistent across the board.
BIM Model Auditing
Advenser provides accurate, exhaustive, and in-depth audits of BIM models to architects, contractors, and construction firms worldwide. Our in-house auditors offer their extensive experience and expertise to ensure that all validations, including naming standards, detail levels, and other design criteria, are correctly documented and adhered to.
Our team meticulously evaluates your BIM projects, compares them to established design criteria, and provides you with a detailed report to determine whether your models meet the industry-level standards. Such evaluations help your team prevent technical issues and project breakdowns.
Project Standard Compliance Check
A project standard compliance check ensures that the BIM model adheres to predefined project standards. The process ensures the model meets the quality, consistency, and accuracy requirements set forth by the project’s guidelines.
Verify that the BIM model complies with all project-specific standards, including geometry, data accuracy, and level of detail.
Check the naming of all model elements (e.g., walls, doors, equipment) to ensure consistency with defined standards.
Check compliance with industry standards such as ISO 19650, PAS 1192, or other relevant standards.
Ensure that all corrected nomenclature is documented and communicated to the project team.
Visual Checks
Visual checks involve manual reviews performed by skilled professionals to confirm that the BIM model accurately reflects the design intent and is free of noticeable errors. This process is essential for spotting issues that automated methods might overlook.
Perform a general review of the model to understand its scope and content.
Visually inspect individual components to ensure they are correctly placed and properly modeled.
Check detailed elements such as wall junctions, window placements, door swings, and furniture layouts to confirm accuracy.
Ensure visual consistency and coordination between architectural, structural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) models.
Clash Coordination
Clash checks involve using specialized software to identify and resolve conflicts between different building systems within the BIM model. This process helps to prevent costly and time-consuming issues during construction.
Use dedicated tools to perform automated clash detection.
Review the generated clash reports to understand the nature and location of conflicts.
Categorize clashes into hard (physical overlaps) and soft (clearance issues) clashes.
Identifying stakeholders who are responsible to resolve the clashes.
Make necessary adjustments to the model to resolve clashes and re-run clash detection to ensure conflicts are resolved.
The general BIM Auditing Services encompasses the following
Model Validation and Verification
- Accuracy Check: Ensuring the BIM model accurately represents the design intent and as-built conditions.
- Compliance Check: Verifying the model’s compliance with project standards, codes, and regulations.
- Coordination Check: Identifying and resolving clashes and coordination issues between different disciplines like architectural, structural, MEP, etc.
Quality Assurance
- Standards Compliance: Ensuring the model adheres to industry standards such as ISO 19650, PAS 1192, and others.
- Data Integrity: Checking the consistency and integrity of data within the model, including metadata and attributes.
- Documentation Review: Verifying that all required documentation and deliverables are accurately reflected in the model.
Clash Detection and Resolution
- Clash Detection: Using specialized software to identify conflicts between different building systems.
- Clash Resolution: Facilitating coordination meetings to resolve identified clashes and update the model accordingly.
Model Audits
- Model Completeness: Ensuring all necessary components and elements are included in the model.
- Model Accuracy: Verifying dimensions, levels, and positions of elements are correct.
- Data Quality: Ensuring all data within the model is accurate and up to date.
Performance Review
- Efficiency Check: Analyzing the model for performance issues, such as file size and processing speed.
- Optimization: Recommending and implementing optimizations to improve model performance.
Reporting and Feedback
- Reporting and Feedback: Providing detailed reports on the findings of the audit, including identified issues and recommendations for improvement.
- Feedback Sessions: Conducting sessions with stakeholders to discuss audit findings and agree on corrective actions.
Compliance with BIM Execution Plans
- BEP Adherence:Ensuring the model follows the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and other project-specific guidelines.
- Workflow Review: Assessing the workflows and processes used in the development of the BIM model.
Training and Support
- Training Sessions: Providing training to project teams on BIM standards, processes, and best practices.
- Ongoing Support: Offering continuous support and guidance to ensure the model remains compliant throughout the project lifecycle.
