Automation & API Integration

The benefits of automation & API integration can be realized regardless of which project stage it is adopted. In our case, we started with dynamo in BIM as we saw maximum potential there to reduce overall project time. Increased efficiency in model creation should also cascade quickly to other stages. In terms of quality, automation enables to keep the quality improvement more consistent, reducing the slope of diminishing returns when applied to the final stages, where usually any further refinement to the BIM model requires excessive amounts of time. Standardization and automated templates raise the overall quality level throughout the entire design process.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who can benefit from availing of BIM services?

Everyone!  BIM services offer architects speed in creating the design, with reduced project costs and human errors. Engineers benefit from interoperability, and improved resource optimization. Contractors will witness shorter project lifecycles with increased cost savings. Surveyors can carry out numerous trades, in real-time, within a single project management environment. Last but not least, our clients are assured green living from our projects of optimal building performance.

2. Why do we need to invest in BIM when we have CAD expertise?

For higher returns of course! CAD can be compared to a flip-book animation; straight-forward but any change in one view would require manual changes in all other pages. A simple task such as changing the dimensions of a door would be daunting in CAD! However, BIM is parametric wherein a change in a specific view, however big or small, would automatically be reflected in all other views.   CAD deals with physicality and limits itself to 3D visualization of a project using basic graphics (arcs, circles, polylines, etc.).  BIM establishes virtual construction with functional intelligent objects (doors, windows, floors, etc.) Additionally, it facilitates the real-time exchange of data among different players in a project such as architects, engineers, and contractors.

3. How does BIM contribute towards sustainability?

Sustainability goes far beyond the introduction of home recycling projects or paperless practices at work. At Illumine-I, we are committed to enrich living, keeping in mind the implications of our actions upon the world and generations to come.  Through BIM, we deep dive into the design, construction phases as well as the future maintenance concerns across multiple disciplines.  This model-based process eliminates the need for repetitive examination and validation of specification across various players and guarantees a zero-error, minimal wastage design.

4. When and where can BIM be integrated?

As and when desired! Ideally BIM process is incorporated from the inception of a project i.e. pre-construction. This will ensure efficient planning, design and construction. However, the BIM process can be put into use at any stage, for example even after construction of the project, BIM can help streamline facility management, thus strengthening post-construction building maintenance.

5. How affordable is to implement BIM?

BIM is an advanced digital project design and development methodology which requires considerable investment. It is not a cheap proposition and if it’s a new process, there will be a learning curve involved, making it time consuming.  Illumine-i does not extend BIM as a service but a worthwhile journey. Our clients from construction projects of varying scales have reaped the benefits of reduced design error, reduced wastage, project cost reduction, enhanced documentation, increased production efficiency, through effective collaboration among various disciplines. We believe the question isn’t about affordability because the returns are phenomenal; the question is of green values.

6. What is Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) in BIM?

Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a modern framework for project completion in the construction industry. Here, the collaborative efforts of different stakeholders ensure efficient coordination from the initial stages to the delivery of the project. The project outcome is maximized by leveraging the integrated knowledge of experts across disciplines simultaneously, in real-time.
BIM SERVICES

Modeling

BIM Structural Services
Illumine-i offers comprehensive architectural solutions that cover all design, 3D modeling, and visualization requirements to construct a building. This includes concept design, BIM modeling, detailed design, construction documentation, material takeoff, energy analysis, remodeling, point cloud conversion, AR, and VR. We also provide 3D rendering and perspective views.
Structural Services
Illumine-i offers extensive structural services which include structural 3D modeling, RCC & steel detailing, rebar detailing, shop drawing, construction documentation, quantity takeoff. Our teams of experienced BIM professionals have strong exposure to the complex and detailed structural projects.

We have a well-defined quality control (QC) process that ensures the accuracy of our deliverables to the highest possible levels.
BIM Services
Illumine-i provides total solutions for all BIM related requirements in mechanical (HVAC), plumbing, electrical, fire fighting services. We have delivered MEPF BIM modeling and shop drawing projects of the highest standards. Illumine-i helps to reduce design risk and waste by connecting the MEPF workflow. We have provided quality design output, detailed fabrication drawing, better collaboration through the construction process.
BIM Services
Illumine-i addresses the requirements of architects, engineers, contractors, and builders for complex projects that require consideration of both cost and schedule over time, so that planning, monitoring, and record-keeping must consider both dimensions. Illumine-i provides a precise estimation of quantities for all the construction elements of the project.

Facility Management

Illuminei BIM Solutions
Assets of a building comprise the physical building, its systems, equipment, and surrounding environment. Facility Management or Asset Management is effective in the short-term as well as for long-standing planning for preserving the building assets properly.

The bi-directional Building Information Modeling (BIM) integration into asset management software facilitates superior visualization of assets and helps in the maintenance and operation of a facility.

Scan Data to BIM

Scan to BIM (or Point Cloud to BIM) is the practice of using 3D laser scanners to build BIM schematics of existing spaces, Renovation & Retrofitting, and Historical restoration. For example, a surveyor may visit a location to be used for construction or renovation, and collect data points in order to build a hyper-accurate representation of that physical space using digital tools.

That scan data can be used to create an As-built BIM model of an existing structure or form the foundations of the model for a new construction project. This is generally done using LiDAR technology and techniques, allowing laser scanners to collect three-dimensional area data that is then fed into the system via point cloud processing.

Disaster & Emergency Planning

BIM offers vital information about the building to enhance the effectiveness of disaster response plans and reduce any risk. BIM is combined with building automation systems (BAS) to demonstrate where the emergency is situated inside a building, to discover feasible routes to the affected area, and to determine other hazardous areas within the building throughout such emergencies.

Building Performance Analysis

Building performance analysis emphasizes the measurement and assessment of various performance indicators covering the interests of owners, operators, and occupants in aspects like energy, lighting, thermal comfort, and maintenance. There is a great interest to improve energy management in buildings considering the increasing price of fuel, and the global goal of reducing CO2 output. One of the current challenges in this domain is to optimize energy consumption while considering occupant comfort.
