Key Project Phases

Integrated project delivery (IPD) is the emerging standard for early collaboration and effective decision-making in the building industry today. Incorporating a Building Information Modelling (BIM) toolset into any aspect of the IPD process enables project teams to use information in an integrated environment, increasing efficiency and enabling new ways of working that inspire more creative and sustainable designs.


Integrated BIM
1. Conceptualisation

The project team comes together at the earliest stage, improving accuracy of decisions. The rest of the process becomes more predictable, thus avoiding costly redesign work.

Tools used - Autodesk 3ds Max Design, Autodesk Maya, IES Fastrack schedule.

Integrated BIM 2

2. Design and Visualisation

Collaboration between the Architect, Contractor and Engineers allows for better decision-making, improves quality, and mitigates risk.

Tools used - Revit Architecture, Autodesk 3ds Max Design, Autodesk Design Review, Fastrack schedule.

Integrated BIM 3

3. Implementation

Precise virtual models are automatically part of the design, reducing uncertainty in documents and interferences during construction.

Tools used - Revit Architecture, Autodesk Design Review Fastrack schedule.

Integrated BIM 4

4. Construction

Because of careful early planning, team members are able to use materials efficiently, creating less waste. Change orders are minimised, and no operational revenue is lost. Construction can be completed on schedule and on budget.

Tools used - Revit Architecture, Autodesk Design Review.

Integrated BIM 5

5. Own/Operate

Owners can enjoy better quality assurance on their completed project and are provided with a complete virtual building for operational and renovation purposes.

Tools used - Autodesk Design Review.
