Building Information Modelling

SDS has the capability and experience to deliver
to the fundamental principles of BIM maturity
level 2 and provide services in accordance with
the RIBA Plan of Work 2013.

BIM Capability

Building Information Modeling/ Managment (BIM) processes are successfully applied to a wide range of SDS projects. This success is based on developing and driving though our BIM strategy. The strategy ensures that our internal QA systems, model management procedures and project information delivery conform to each part of PAS1192. Relevant project experience allows SDS to support BIM processes on frameworks, informing any necessary BIM execution plans to establish and deliver realistic BIM goals.

BIM Consultancy

SDS are able to enhance the BIM management process on each project. With our team’s experience and expertise, we can focus project deliverables and help manage expectations to deliver realistic BIM goals. This is achieved by developing and collating relevant protocols and documentation, supporting stakeholder engagement workshops and virtual design reviews.

Ongoing BIM Development

In addition to current processes, SDS have a long-term BIM strategy that looks to advance capabilities to BIM maturity Level 3. This ambition will be realised by commiting research and development investment to improve internal processes and to link design analysis into the BIM environment.

SDS in-house working group focus on developing our BIM systems and ongoing staff training. The group engage with government and industry working groups to ensure BIM models are constructed and aligned to and benefi t from industry best practice.

Model Management and Collaboration

The majority of current BIM projects adopt AutoDesk Revit as the primary BIM platform. Each design discipline collaborate using a Common Data Environment (CDE) via linked models in their forms formats.

Clash avoidance and co-ordination of the CDE is achieved via AutoDesk Navisworks.

SDS have experience of extending CDEs on a number of projects where other disciplines have adopted a diff erent BIM platform. This task is delivered using Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) fi les and careful management of the associated inter-operability issues.

BIM is an essential resource of knowledge and information for building processes, from concept to design to completion and beyond

Preparing and Supplying Documents.

The planning process requires myriad supporting documents to be completed, including green energy targets,
renewable targets, and figures on the carbon emissions of the building. These documents are pre-tended,
meaning our consultants will have prepared them for your project before any design element has begun, allowing
for a swift and smooth process.
