In the construction world that rapidly changes and adapts, getting it right is of utmost importance. Strudco acknowledges that even the slightest of mistakes during the design or coordination stages could lead to major rework and costs. We have made considerable investments in best-in-class BIM services in UAE to ensure the precision of our projects and to speed up delivery through coordination. Working with Strudco means trusting a structural design consultant who has experienced team members and using Building Information Modelling (BIM) to model, plan, and build a project accurately.
Importance of BIM
The BIM models we create are accurate and interactive and facilitate collaboration between all stakeholders (architects, engineers, contractors, and owners) to ease the building. This collaboration helps eliminate most of the guessing by determining potential conflicts at the start of the design. Our engineering group will use BIM to predict and correct design clashes to help with the flow of construction.
Integrated Design with High-End Tools
Coordinating between disciplines such as structural, and architectural elements is one of the largest construction challenges. Our BIM professionals deliver fully integrated models that combine all systems into a single coherent design. This eliminates any portion of the structure being duplicated or missed. As a leading structural design consultant in UAE, we employ software such as Tekla Structures, Revit, and Navisworks to develop coordinated models. These enable stakeholders to evaluate all aspects of the project virtually before commencement, thus minimising design flaws and unnecessary revisions.
Enhancing Collaboration Across Stakeholders
If there are several teams for one project, things can easily get misunderstood. BIM helps us to close that gap by having one central model that everyone can view. Whether it is an adjustment of structural design or a modification in façade planning, our team makes sure everyone is on the same page via live updates. This efficient teaming is one of the reasons why clients rely on Strudco as their go-to structural engineering consultants in UAE. We are proud of our team bonding abilities, especially with complex, fast-tracked constructions.
Minimising Errors and Maximising Cost-effectiveness
Traditional 2D plans are more prone to misinterpretation. BIM allows us to identify and rectify design clashes at an early stage in the process. This proactive methodology minimises on-site complications, resulting in significant time and cost savings. We recently completed a high-end commercial job where BIM indicated a major issue with the clash between the HVAC ducting and the structural frame. By using BIM tools, we resolved the clash before it became an on-site issue, which saved weeks of delay and overwork costs.
Enabling Façade and Structural Detailing
We don’t stop at core structures. Our team has skilled façade designers in UAE already working with structural engineers on perfect detailing and compliance. By including façade elements in the BIM model, we ensure that the aesthetic and structural elements of the project are coordinated. This results in beautiful, yet structurally sound, commercial buildings, airports, civic buildings, or anything else.
We know that BIM is the future of construction. Invaluable modelling, a coordinated project schedule, and simultaneous collaborative efforts in real-time set us apart when it comes to standards of accuracy in construction.
