BIM (Building Information Modeling)

What is BIM?
The means by which everyone can understand a building through
the use of a digital model.
A digital representation of physical and functional characteristics
of a facility and a shared knowledge resource for information
about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its lifecycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.
It is an integrated process for exploring a projects key physical and
functional characteristics digitally. BIM enables earlier decisionmaking, better documentation, and the evaluation of alternatives
for sustainable design or improvements based on early stage
analysis before construction begins.Models includes graphic,
physical, commercial, environmental and operational data.
Modelling an asset in digital form enables those who interact with
the building to optimize their actions, resulting in a greater whole

Why, Where, When, Who, How of

BIM
As we know the pace of globalization is rapidly increasing, so it is
helpful to stay informed about technological developments
elsewhere and be better prepared in case they also have an
impact on us.
BIM can used in construction of a single Room to Apartments, Town
Houses, Villas, Hospitals, Medical Office Buildings, Nursing Centers,
Labs, Hotels, Resorts, Golf Clubs, Lifestyle Spaces, Offices, Malls,
Showrooms, Retail Stores, Engineering Colleges, Schools, Training
Institutes, Townships, City Centers, Offices, Workplaces,
Hospitality, Retail, Residential, Airports, Stadium, Government
Buildings, Bus Shelters, Automobile Workshops, High Rise
Residential, Commercial and Mix Use Lands.
BIM can be used in all stages of the Project i.e. from Design to Post
Construction phase.
Who and How of BIM is NWSC.

BIM in different stages of

Project
While every projects process is slightly different, projects generally
progress along these major phases. Therefore, it is important to know
the right type and level of information or Level of Development (LOD)
thats needed within each phase to add the most value.
LOD is a reference that allows specialists in the AEC Industry to
specify and articulate through a high level of clarity the content and
reliability of Building Information Models (BIMs) at the various stages
in the design and construction process. Before we understand the
role of BIM in different phases of project, firstly we need to
understand the different levels of development in BIM.
LOD in BIM is broadly classified into 5 major categories:
LOD 100

LOD 200

LOD 400

LOD 300

LOD 500

BIM in different stages of Project

contd.
LOD 100 (Schematic Design) Modeled elements are at a conceptual
point of development. Information can be conveyed with massive
forms, written narratives and 2D symbols.
Conceptual Geometry Overall Building Massing Indicative of Area,
Height, Volume, Location and Orientation.
Model Element Author(s) Architect / Engineers
Applications Early Visualization Massing, Site Analysis,
Environmental Impact
LOD 200 (Basic Engineering) Modeled elements have approximate
relationships to quantities, size, location and orientation. Some
information may still be conveyed with written narratives.
Approximate Geometry Generalized Systems, Assemblies with
Approximate Quantities, Size, Shape, Location and Orientation.
Model Element Author(s) Architect / Engineers
Applications - Visualization Materiality, Coordination with multiple
disciplines.

BIM in different stages of Project

contd.
LOD 300 (Detailed Engineering) Modeled elements are explained in
terms of specific systems, quantities, size, shape, location and
orientation.
Specific Geometry Specific Assemblies, Accurate in Terms of Size,
Shape, Location, Quantity and Orientation.
Model Element Author(s) Architect / Engineers
Applications Construction Documents
LOD 400 (Detailed Engineering) Continuation of LOD 300 with
enough information added to facilitate fabrication, assembly and
installation.
LOD 500 (As-Built Model) - Modeled elements are representative of
as installed conditions and can be utilized for ongoing facilities
management.
As-Built Model Constructed Assemblies, Actual and Accurate in Terms
of Size, Shape, Location, Quantity and Orientation.
Model Element Author(s) Contractors and Sub - Contractors

BIM in different stages of Project

contd.
Relationship of BIM with different phases of Projects:
Phase 1 - Pre-Design
Phase Objectives - Identify the requirements of the project, existing
conditions, and unearth any essential information that will inform the
design process. Common activities include preparing a building
program, conducting a site analysis, and inventorying local code
requirements.
LOD Assumptions - If a new project, there is no digital model available.
If an existing building, a digital project model might be available at
least a LOD 300.
Phase 2 Conceptual Design
Phase Objectives - Decide on the direction of the design by
experimenting, iterating, and obtaining integrated design input from all
parties. The principle objective during this phase is to make high-level
decisions that will provide direction to the entire design process.
LOD Assumptions - Most of the architectural model is at LOD 100. The
building form is digitally modeled in massing geometries, and the
spatial relationships of the building program are sketched out with

contd.
Relationship of BIM with different phases of Projects:
Phase 3 Design Development
Phase Objectives - Verify and edit performative attributes of proposed
design, while refining material, mechanical, and structural systems with
specificity. This phase involves a lot of detailed experimentation and
rigorous decision making.
LOD Assumptions Architecture model is at LOD 200/LOD 300 with
generic cladding materials identified, and floor plan is modeled with
appropriate wall thicknesses and materials. Structural model is at least
at LOD 200 with generic framing systems.
MEP model is at LOD 200 with plumbing, heating ventilation, and
cooling systems laid out, and ready to be sized.
Phase 4 - Final Design and Documentation
Phase Objectives - Provide detailed direction, and specification, to
construct the most comprehensive iteration of the building. Assure that
the constructed manifestation of the design will be as sustainable as
feasibly possible.
LOD Assumptions - All models completed to LOD 300, with sizes and

contd.
Relationship of BIM with different phases of Projects:
Phase 5 Construction
Phase Objectives - Bring the building design into physical reality, by
practicing sustainable construction methods and utilizing quality
control methods.
LOD Assumptions Architecture, MEP, and Structural models are at
LOD300 and are being evolved to LOD400 with enhanced information
that supports fabrication and construction coordination.
Phase 6 Operation and Maintenance
Phase Objectives - The building becomes occupied and has all
equipment operating.
LOD Assumptions - All models are at LOD500, represent physical
conditions, and are being updated in parallel with facility management
operations.
Along with this, the owner has actually seen what he/she is getting with
the aid of walkthroughs and accurate renderings.

Project Management
Consultants

As Project Managers in the Construction Industry, we at NWSC,

undertake a planned series of activities and design them in
synchronization with our customers requirements, whenever we
go on board with new projects. This includes overall planning,
coordination, monitoring and controlling of a project from inception
to completion in order to produce a functionally and financially
viable project that will be completed on time, within authorized
cost and to the required quality standards.
From the moment we take up a project, we chalk out a roadmap for
our customers, taking ownership of the entire project, right from its
bidding stages. This process includes advising, monitoring and
reporting on Pre-Construction activities of the project. NWSC
initiates the project by preparing a project execution plan that will
set out the cost, time and quality objectives of the project, and the
systems and procedures that will be used to achieve these
objectives.

Services provided by
NWSC
Project Management services
are classified into three typical
stages:1. Pre Construction Management
The overall objective of the Pre-Construction process is to improve
efficiency, reduce cost and time (by providing clear briefings, preplanning meetings, workshops and resource allocation) and value
maximization (by managing the supply chain,
making timely decisions and operating in a pro-active and robust
environment). Different phases of Pre Construction Management
Stage are as follows:

Offshoring/Outsourcing from
NWSC
Architectural Offshoring has grown popular with both small and large
architectural firms. Ever increasing competition in the architectural
and construction environment has pushed firms to rethink their core
business strategies.
NWSC aims to become one of the leading offshore Computer Aided
Design and Building Information Modeling unit for Architecture,
Engineering and Construction firms across the globe.
Some of the biggest Architectural firms have global businesses. The
idea is that they can execute a project from anywhere in the world
and draft and design it at a location that best suits the bill. As the
trend for outsourcing in IT developed, so, too, did the trend for
architectural outsourcing.
With a team of professionals having experience of working on
international projects and are well versed with international
standards, NWSC is capable of executing a comprehensive range of
services. Also, with the latest industry software's and regular training

Offshoring/Outsourcing from
NWSC
NWSC employees close to 25 talented, technically skilled and
experienced Architects and Engineers, all well conversant with English
Language.
In an industry marked by high employee attrition, NWSC endeavors to
maintain stable workforce of Architects, Building and Allied service
engineers, CAD Operators, IT technicians and administrators.
Sneak peek at some chief activities which are outsourced to India:
Conversion - Conversion services comprisedesign transition from
one format/medium toanother. This may be for conversion from
paperto digital formats, or from the imperial system tothe metric
system. The most commonly offeredservices are digitization services,
which involvechanging blueprints and terrain maps to CADformat.
Services also comprise the formulation offront elevations to side and
rear.
Plans - Drawings and 3D models of the electricalwiring and
plumbing plans in congruence withthe structure can be devised using

Offshoring/Outsourcing from
NWSC
Drafting - Drafting services includeconstruction-detailed
architectural plans,working drawings from raw data,
technicaldrawings, comprehensive specification sheetsand other
such detailed documents. AutoCADdrawings are extracted from
manually drawnsketches and blueprints. Construction drawingscan
be entirely created from general layoutsketches, charting out details
such as furniture,telephone and electrical layouts, their
reflectedceiling and floor plans, partitions as well as hardware
schedule plans. Detailed elevationplans from various perspectives are
also offered.
Layering - Layering involves a set of drawingsshowing different
details, consolidated in the same document. Such a document would
displaythe electrical plan, plumbing structure and airconditioning, all
in one. Each layer may beviewed independently or in combination
withthe others, providing the developer withcomplete insight of all
technical aspects ofthe building.
Cost and Quantity Survey Estimation - Estimations may be
calculated as per initialworking drawings or construction plans.

How Offshoring helps client?

In a rapidly globalizing world, the key to success lies in
Reduction costs of labor & infrastructure costs up to 70%.
Improving Efficiency.
No additional cost on insurance & other support services at client
end.
Exploiting every technological breakthrough and being responsive
to the needs of the clients.
Robust communication infrastructure with high bandwidth data
transfer.
Excellent English specking workforce.
Reduction in project documentation time, thus improving efficiency
and profit margin.
Focus on your competencies than managing technicians.
Avail best quality deliverables with robust quality check.
Flexible business model to work on.
On call skilled and trained staff readily available to meet deadlines.
And the list goes on..

Engagement Models
FIXED FEE - Based on defined scope and drawings received, we
estimate the fixed fee for the BIM assignment.
HOURLY MODEL - For projects in which it is difficult to accurately
estimate execution time, we work out a not-to-exceed figure, and
execute work based on the actual hours consumed. Weekly time
sheets and work logs are shared with the client.
MAN-MONTH MODEL - In this model, we allocate a predefined
number of resources per month for a specific project (or a set of
projects). Client books the resources in advance, on a monthly
basis.Weekly time sheets and work logs are shared with the client.
DEDICATED TEAM MODEL - In this model, we assign a team of
BIM professionals who work dedicatedly with one client for a predefined period of time (usually more than 3 months). The team size
could be as small as 5 persons and may vary based on project
stages.
ONSITE RESOURCE - For specific international projects, we
depute BIM Coordinators at our client's office. Our onsite BIM
Coordinator interacts with various design and construction team
heads, seeks necessary information, and
