Establishing BIM processes and digitalisation in classic civil engineering design
I support classic civil and infrastructure engineering firms in setting up and establishing BIM structures based on real pilot projects and proven processes, from the early project phase (1A–1C) through the design phases (2A–2B) to construction and close-out (3).
1. Fundamentals & asset management
- Survey and model-based representation of road and utility infrastructure
- Structured asset models as a basis for planning, rehabilitation and operation
- Data quality checks and plausibility checks of asset and design data
2. Model-based design
- Model-based design in road and utility construction
- Option comparison based on model and quantity data
- Model-based dimensioning and verification
- 2D drawings derived from the model
3. Coordination
- Model-based coordination of road and utility projects on a shared data basis
- Interface coordination between disciplines using a Common Data Environment (CDE)
- Structured filing, versioning and traceability of models, drawings and information in the CDE
- Visualisation of design situations for internal and external coordination
- Model-based visualisations to support decisions and option assessments
4. Quantities, costs & economics
- Model-based quantity take-off
- Cost indicators and model-based cost estimates
- Support with cost comparisons of different options
- Model-based cost control in later project phases
5. Tendering & award
- Model-based contractor tendering
- Linking BIM models with NPK bills of quantities
- Preparation of structured tender documents
- Improving the traceability of tender documents
6. Construction phase
- Model-based construction design
- Model-based construction phasing
- Support with setting-out and site coordination
- Change and claims management on a structured data basis
- Task, issue and defect management during construction
- Progress monitoring based on model information
7. Documentation & close-out
- Model-based invoicing of construction works
- Preparation of as-built documentation
- Building and maintaining as-built models from construction data
- Structured data for operation and maintenance
8. Sustainability & life cycle
- Life cycle assessment based on model and quantity data
- Support for circular and environmentally sound construction
- Life cycle management as a basis for long-term maintenance strategies
