Project Management & BIM Services

Feasibility Analysis FAQs

A feasibility study is most valuable during the concept or investment stage, before significant financial and technical commitments are made.

Yes. We can review drawings, specifications, BIM models, quantity schedules, site information, and other available project documents.

We support feasibility reviews for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and infrastructure.

Quantity Take-offs FAQs

Yes. We can work from PDF, CAD, scanned drawings, Excel schedules, and BIM models, depending on document quality.

Yes. We can adapt the output to your BOQ structure, work breakdown structure, cost codes, or measurement rules.

Yes. The format, units, trade structure, and project standards can be aligned with the client's requirements.

Bar Bending Schedule FAQs

Yes. BBS is prepared from approved structural drawings and applicable reinforcement specifications.

Yes. We can work with your templates, numbering system, bar marks, measurement rules, and reporting format.

Yes. While we do not change the design, we may flag unclear details, missing information, or apparent inconsistencies in the reinforcement drawings so your design team can review and clarify them before execution.

Yes. We can organise the BBS to match your procurement lots, fabrication batches, and site sequencing, helping your commercial and site teams plan reinforcement orders, cutting, and placement more efficiently.

Bill of Quantities FAQs

We can prepare quantities only or include rates and pricing when suitable cost data and pricing requirements are provided.

Yes. We can prepare tender-ready BOQs in the client's required format.

Yes. We can prepare BOQs based on the available drawings and specifications, provided the scope and assumptions are clearly agreed. Any areas requiring further design development will be identified in our assumptions and exclusions.

Yes. We can support reconciliation between the original BOQ and updated quantities from revised drawings, site measurements, or BIM models, helping your team manage variations and commercial adjustments more transparently.

Cost Estimation FAQs

Yes. We can prepare estimates based on available information, with assumptions, allowances, exclusions, and design-development risks clearly identified.

Yes. We can compare alternative materials, systems, quantities, and construction approaches based on cost and project practicality.

Yes. We can structure estimates according to your internal cost codes, work breakdown structure, and reporting format so that project, commercial, and finance teams can integrate the estimate into their existing control systems.

Yes. We can provide estimate updates aligned with design revisions, updated quantities, procurement feedback, and market changes, enabling your team to maintain an up-to-date view of project cost throughout the lifecycle.

Schedule Management FAQs

Yes. We can prepare a baseline schedule from the project scope, contract milestones, execution strategy, drawings, procurement plan, and construction methodology.

Yes. We can review the existing schedule, incorporate progress data, update remaining activities, and prepare variance and forecast reports.

Yes. Critical and near-critical activities can be monitored to identify potential effects on key milestones.

Yes. The programme can be linked with BIM elements to create a 4D construction sequence and improve visual planning.

Project Co-ordination FAQs

Project coordination focuses on communication, information flow, task tracking, stakeholder alignment, and follow-up. Project management may include broader responsibility for contracts, budget, resources, risk, procurement, quality, and overall delivery.

Yes. Our coordination services can support distributed teams using digital communication, document management, BIM collaboration, and project reporting workflows.

Yes. We can track drawing submissions, reviews, comments, approvals, revisions, RFIs, and discipline interfaces.

Yes. Meeting documentation and follow-up tracking can be included within the agreed scope.

Architectural BIM FAQs

Yes. We can develop models from PDF, CAD, scanned drawings, sketches, point clouds, and other available information.

Yes. Existing drawings, surveys, photographs, and point-cloud data can be used to develop an as-built model.

Yes. We organise architectural BIM models with clear levels, grids, categories, naming conventions, and element properties so they are easier for structural, MEP, and coordination teams to use for their own modelling and analysis.

Yes. The architectural BIM can be developed and refined across concept, design development, coordination, construction, and as-built phases, with appropriate updates and version control at each stage.

Structural BIM FAQs

Yes. The service can include reinforced concrete, steel, precast, and mixed structural systems.

Yes. A properly structured model can support model-based quantity extraction, subject to model completeness and agreed requirements.

Yes. We can structure the structural BIM with appropriate element grouping, breakdown, and information so it supports shop drawing production, prefabrication workflows, and construction planning by your engineering and site teams.

Yes. We can review, refine, and coordinate existing structural BIM models received from consultants or other stakeholders, subject to model quality and agreed scope, to better align them with project coordination and execution needs.

MEP BIM FAQs

The service may include HVAC, plumbing, drainage, electrical, fire protection, fire alarm, and specialist building services, depending on the project scope.

Yes. MEP models can be federated with architectural and structural models for multidisciplinary review.

Yes. We can develop MEP BIM models from CAD files, consultant drawings, schedules, and specifications.

Clash Detection FAQs

A hard clash occurs when two physical model elements occupy the same space.

A soft clash relates to required clearance, access, maintenance, safety, installation, or operational zones.

We identify issues, recommend coordination options, update models, and conduct re-checks according to the agreed scope.

CAD to BIM Conversion FAQs

Yes. We can assess legacy and incomplete drawings and identify assumptions, missing information, and areas requiring clarification before modelling.

Yes. The conversion can cover one discipline or multiple disciplines, depending on the available information and project requirements.

The required LOD is agreed according to the project phase, intended use, design information, coordination requirements, and client BIM standards.

Yes. A suitably structured model can support quantity extraction, subject to model completeness and the agreed modelling scope.

BIM Consulting FAQs

BIM consulting focuses on strategy, standards, workflows, coordination, audits, and implementation. Modelling can be included as a separate or integrated service where required.

Yes. We can support the preparation or review of a BIM Execution Plan based on project requirements and delivery objectives.

Yes. We can advise on linking model information with project schedules, quantities, cost data, procurement, and change management.
