Strudco provides accurate façade BIM services in Saudi Arabia in order to respond to the demands of today’s modern architectural marvels. Our crews utilize current technology and established processes to fabricate even the most complicated design façades. By using the best BIM practices in the industry with our engineering, we deliver reliable and accurate modeling, coordination, and a reliable delivery process. Today we deliver to many clients who have trusted Strudco with their project because of our detail-oriented approach, quick turnaround, and ability to accommodate specific project requirements.
Technologies That Power Precision in Façade BIM
3D Parametric Modeling using Tekla Structures
We use the best software, like Tekla Structures, and model the full façade system in 3D. The parametric models provide visual accuracy while allowing us to include important information such as material specifications, installation methods, and support requirements. Our team can easily manipulate designs, clash detections, and generate true shop drawings using Tekla. When we use 3D models for facades, it provides contractors and the top architectural designers in Saudi Arabia with a visual understanding of what it will look like before the physical work is done.
Revit for Coordination and BIM Integration
One of the best multidisciplinary BIM integration technologies now on the market is Revit. We pair Revit with our façade detailing for smooth coordination with architects, MEP consultants, and the structural engineering team, facilitating the development of all building systems while avoiding site conflict. Being able to create families in Revit and parametrize data to create intelligent façade components according to project-specific requirements complements our BIM workflow, minimizing rework and installation inefficiencies and creating a flexible model for our various projects throughout the Middle East. Integration is similarly effective for our international project owners, as we are also liaising with other structural engineering consultants in UAE to ensure consistent quality and international standards.
Navisworks for Clash Detection and Simulation
For sophisticated, large-scale façade systems, we utilize Navisworks to perform extensive clash detections and visual simulations. Prior to fabricating a single panel, our staff inspects the model for spatial or geometric defects that might lead to delays in the field. Navisworks makes it easier for installers to plan site logistics and access requirements by allowing us to mimic the order in which façade parts are constructed. It also makes it possible for the design team to analyze different approaches or material modifications prior to committing to fabrication.
AutoCAD and Advance Steel for Detailing
While 3D BIM tools handle the modeling and coordination functions, AutoCAD and Advance Steel still serve a very important role in 2D detailing, laser-accurate shop drawings, and connection design. We utilize these tools to complete bracket positions, anchorage details, and installation layouts that meet both local and international building codes. This hybrid workflow allows us to ensure consistency and accuracy in all deliverables, particularly for projects with high visual impact and tight deadlines.
CDE Platforms for Project Collaboration
To enhance project communication, we use Common Data Environments (CDEs) such as BIM 360, Trimble Connect, and Aconex. These solutions enable all stakeholders on a project to see the last delivered files, revisions, and comments in real-time. Our clients want a very open process, fewer onsite issues, and fast decision-making. CDEs allow us to establish proper version control to track issues and keep a record of our approvals, from the start of the design process to the handover, which then facilitates the entire façade. BIM process and provides efficiency, visibility, and professionalism—as we are moving to service the Gulf, we are now being engaged for strong BIM service in UAE where our adaptability with the workflows and focus on technology allow us a vitally important role in the fast pace of construction.
