Structural BIM Modeling is the process of creating detailed 3D digital representations of a building's structural elements including foundations, columns, beams, slabs, and connections. It benefits construction projects by enabling accurate structural analysis, optimizing material usage, facilitating coordination with other building systems, improving constructability, reducing errors, and supporting precise fabrication documentation. Our structural BIM models comply with international standards including ISO 19650.

Structural BIM Modeling creates intelligent 3D models where structural components interact parametrically with architectural and MEP elements. This allows for real-time clash detection, precise spatial coordination, and optimization of structural systems within the building envelope. When changes occur in any discipline, the BIM model can instantly reveal impacts on structural integrity and spatial requirements, enabling proactive resolution before construction begins.

We utilize industry-leading structural BIM software including Autodesk Revit Structure, Tekla Structures, ETABS, RISA, STAAD Pro, and Robot Structural Analysis for comprehensive modeling and engineering analysis. These tools are integrated with Navisworks and BIM 360 for coordination and collaboration. Our team is certified in these platforms to deliver high-quality structural BIM models that meet international standards and performance requirements.

Our Structural BIM models range from LOD 200 (schematic design) through LOD 400 (fabrication level) depending on project phase and requirements. For design development, we typically provide LOD 300 models with accurate sizing, locations, and connections. For construction documentation and shop drawings, we deliver LOD 350-400 models with precise reinforcement detailing, connection designs, and fabrication information for steel, concrete, timber, and other structural systems.

Our Structural BIM models are developed with analytical properties that enable direct integration with structural analysis software. We can incorporate load calculations, seismic requirements, and building code compliance factors directly into the models. This bidirectional workflow between modeling and analysis ensures that design changes are efficiently evaluated for structural performance and code compliance with standards including ASCE, Eurocodes, British Standards, and other international structural regulations.

Yes, we specialize in developing Structural BIM models optimized for prefabrication and modular construction. Our models include the necessary manufacturing-level details, connections, tolerances, and assembly sequencing information required for off-site fabrication. We can prepare detailed shop drawings, CNC data exports, and fabrication documentation that seamlessly translates BIM data to manufacturing processes for steel, precast concrete, timber, and modular systems.

Our advanced Structural BIM capabilities include parametric modeling techniques for complex geometries including curved structures, irregular framing, long-span systems, and innovative structural forms. We employ specialized modeling approaches that maintain both geometric accuracy and analytical integrity for unique structural solutions. For particularly complex structures, we utilize computational design methods and generative design tools to optimize structural performance while maintaining constructability.

Standard deliverables include native Revit or Tekla files, analytical models for engineering software, IFC exports, 2D construction documents, reinforcement schedules, structural framing plans, connection details, and quantity takeoffs. We also provide specialized deliverables such as CNC data for steel fabrication, reinforcement bending schedules, tension/compression diagrams, and structural capacity validation reports according to project requirements.
