BIM Consulting

Updated: 24/01/2008

Osome offers consultancy services in BIM technology – Building Information Modeling.

BIM – Building Information Modeling is a CAD technology developed for the definition and smart support of design and construction processes. BIM tools address the design information in a special way, considering actual building elements and procedures rather than abstract geometric entities. In a BIM environment, parts of a building are defined as such in three dimensions, rather than through its two-dimensional representation. This change enables the processes of design, detailing and construction of BIM projects to be more efficiente and with greater quality because the errors are dramatically reduced while coordination of disciplines and quantitative control on the project becomes complete.

Osome has extensive experience in the successful implementation of BIM technology projects and programs a wide range scales. Osome can help a team to implement, learn, adapt and master a BIM system without penalizing the production and use from the first time in real projects with real constraints. Osome’s favourite BIM environment is Autodesk Revit in its three flavours – Architecture, Structure and MEP.

BIM Implementation:

The correct choice of software, infrastructure and equipment to engage in the transition to a BIM is the first step for it to be successful. Osome can study each case to recommend the right mix of media, tools and profiles.

BIM Training:

Successfully training a team in BIM tools is a complex process that requires planning and careful execution. Osome’s approach is that training must be understood as a process that involves the day to day of the team, working on real projects with demanding scenarios helped by a continuous support.

BIM Tailoring

BIM tools are more related to infrastructure design process than other CAD systems. However, to get the most out of them is necessary to build libraries and standards that support repetitive and similar projects. Half the time-cost of implementing a BIM lies in the definition of custom libraries of building components and annotations, so this process needs to be examined with care. Osome has the necessary experience to support and even undertake the process of building a BIM knowledge base.
