What is BIM ?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the creation and use
of coordinated 3D model via link to intelligent database for
a building project. BIM enables seamless collaboration
between Architects, Engineers, Contractors and
Sub-Contractors enabling quick decision making, accurate
construction documents, better construction management
and facilities management.
COORDINATION: Streamline communication with 3D visualization among all stakeholders for quick decision
making during design and pre-construction phase.
EFFICIENCY: Eliminate RFIs, work stoppages and rework by checking the accuracy and completeness
of drawings before starting construction on-site/off-site.
QUALITY: Improving Quality by producing accurate Shop Drawings directly from the 3D BIM model which could
also be used for pre-fabrication.
SAVINGS: Pre-construction and Pre-fabrication reviews mean better use of manpower, better quality construction
and reduced rework and wastage, all of which translate into lower costs.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Detailed Material BOQ and Shop Drawings with 3D visualization enable a better look
at The Big Picture and aid in the review, scheduling and monitoring of each project.
Benefits of BIM
03
Constructability Analysis
Virtual Construction of project in BIM enables Independent Review of the Construction Plans and Specifications.
This identifies discrepancies in drawings and all constructability issues at preconstruction stage. During the
constructability review, our BIM team generates a series of RFIs to identify following type of constructability and
operational issues:
Missing information / documents
Input inconsistencies
Conflicting data
Operation clearance and accessibility issues
Maintenance access
BIM model is updated based on responses of RFIs. Status of all RFIs is maintained in a log and follow-up is done to
resolve them at preconstruction stage. This eliminates work stoppages and rework during construction.
04
Before Coordination
After Coordination
We generate a coordinated BIM model after resolving the clashes among all the trades (Architecture, Structure, Concrete,
Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, etc.). Clashes are resolved through WebEx meetings/ sharing 3D clash
snapshot. Clashes are resolved by re-routing utilities, changing elevation and re-sizing. Value Engineering is also offered
to improve system efficiency, reduce costs and easier construction and maintenance.
05
Shop Drawings
Shop Drawings are created based on project standards and are useful to contractors, fabricators, suppliers and
manufacturers during construction. BIM is highly useful for construction of any irregular or complex structures.
We generate accurate sleeves, penetration and hanger locations from the BIM model before start of construction.
These drawings can be directly downloaded into GPS instruments for fast and accurate layout at site.
These drawings are generated directly from coordinated BIM models and are detailed enough for workshop
fabrication and/or on-site construction. Advanced BIM tools help in revisions management.
Shop Drawings
Spool Drawings
Fabrication/Spool Drawings
Fabrication drawings can be generated from the BIM model for accurate pre-fabrication off-site / on-site. Segmented
spool drawings and a spool map with segment locations are generated in accordance with the contractors
pre-fabricating standards and preferences. Pre-fabrication significantly improves quality, helps in material handling
and reduces cost.
06
Quantity Take-Off
BIM model generates accurate quantity of all materials. These quantities are automatically updated with any
changes in the BIM model. Quantity Take-Off (QTO) reports can be formatted in Excel and exported to a
database for detailed analysis. Quantities can be generated for a specific time period or project area (4D/5D)
to help manage material procurement and save inventory costs.
When the project plan is established in visual simulation, users can visually associate model objects and scheduled
tasks. Users can click on a building object in the 4D visual environment and can view its associated task highlighted
in the Gantt Chart or vice versa.
Project construction schedule/sequencing is linked to the BIM model. A real time simulation of the construction
sequence is shown in Navisworks Time Line or as an animation video format. During the entire duration of the
project, the Planned Vs. Actual construction schedule is compared and presented.
07
Laser Scan technology gives an accurate and detailed as-built drawing with Point Clouds. BIM tool use Point
Clouds to create Revit model with automated recognition and placement of architectural, structural and MEP
elements. The visual model of existing conditions is used for design and clash detection mainly in retrofit and
renovation projects producing a seamless fit between new and existing assets.

The model is plotted on paper and a preliminary grid by grid check is done comparing it with the original contract
documents. Member of the Project Management team assists in this process.
The project team leader sends a status report to the QC Department to begin QC Phase II.

Miscellaneous issues
The QA/QC Team continuously interacts with the Project Lead and other team members to resolve all technical
issues related to the project.
The QC Team performs a more detailed comparison of the Contract Documents against the 3D BIM model. Specific

We are thrilled to have found a group like yours that service all of our MEP drafting needs, and at record response. We truly
feel like you have met and exceeded every thing we could have asked of your group. We look forward to a long and
bright future together.
Mr. Bobby Mayfield

"We have been using Pinnacle Infotech since November,2004 and have been very satisfied with the quality and speed of their
services. On the first project we used Pinnacle Infotech, we reduced our outsourced CAD expenses from $30,000 to $10,000
and shortened our timeline by two weeks. Project Management was impressed. I gladly recommend Pinnacle Infotech to those
who benefit from outsourcing CAD drafting.

"Pinnacle has been a pleasure to work with on this project. Pinnacle is always willing to do what it takes to get a job done.
Even though the proposals have been pushed out, Pinnacle met all deliverable dates and provided a quality product for
the proposal phase of this project. I look forward to more projects working with the pinnacle staff.
Neil Umpstead
Harper Construction Company, Inc
Overall, this was a great experience with Pinnacle. They were very responsive, asked questions when needed and met
the schedule as discussed. We had to push back the schedule for the first building due to numerous RFI's, but they kept
to the final schedule that we discussed.
