BIM Design Development
Transform Conceptual Designs into Detailed 3D BIM Models Ready for Construction
Professional BIM Design Development Services
BIM Design Development bridges the gap between conceptual design and construction documentation, transforming schematic designs into detailed, coordinated 3D building information models. Our design development services refine architectural intent, resolve spatial conflicts, optimize building systems, and establish the foundation for construction documents. We create intelligent BIM models that integrate architectural, structural, and MEP systems while incorporating material selections, system specifications, and performance criteria essential for successful project delivery.
What is BIM Design Development?
Design Development is the critical phase where conceptual designs evolve into detailed, buildable solutions. In BIM-based design development, we create comprehensive 3D models that define building geometry, spatial relationships, material assemblies, and system configurations. This phase includes detailed modeling of architectural elements, structural systems, MEP layouts, and specialty components. We conduct constructability reviews, perform early clash detection, and optimize designs for cost, schedule, and performance before moving to construction documentation.
Our Design Development Deliverables
- Detailed 3D Models: Comprehensive BIM models with accurate geometry, materials, and component specifications
- Coordinated Systems: Integrated architectural, structural, and MEP systems with resolved conflicts
- Material Specifications: Detailed material selections, finishes, and performance characteristics
- Space Planning: Refined room layouts, circulation patterns, and functional adjacencies
- System Sizing: Preliminary sizing for structural members, MEP equipment, and building systems
- Quantity Takeoffs: Accurate material quantities for cost estimation and budgeting
- Design Visualizations: Renderings, walkthroughs, and presentation materials for stakeholder review
- Coordination Reports: Clash detection results, design issues, and resolution documentation
Benefits of BIM Design Development
BIM-based design development enables better decision-making through enhanced visualization, early conflict detection, and accurate quantity analysis. Stakeholders can experience designs in 3D before construction, reducing costly changes later. Integrated models facilitate multi-discipline coordination, identifying issues when they're least expensive to resolve. Studies show BIM design development reduces design errors by 40-60%, accelerates design reviews by 30-50%, and improves cost estimation accuracy by 20-30%.
Software & Expertise
Our design development team is proficient in Autodesk Revit for architectural, structural, and MEP modeling, Rhino and Grasshopper for complex geometries, Navisworks for coordination, and Enscape or Lumion for visualization. We follow industry standards including AIA LOD specifications, ensuring models meet appropriate Level of Development for the design phase.
