DIGITAL ENGINEERING & ADVICE
BuildBIM offers an independent, specialist digital engineering approach.
We operate separately from engineering design, ensuring unbiased and client-focused digital support while providing specialist support to the consultant and construction teams.
Our expertise as digital engineering specialists, combined with our extensive experience in managing DE on complex horizontal and vertical infrastructure projects, equips us with the knowledge and skills to deliver optimal results.
BIM MANAGEMENT & COORDINATION
BuildBIM provides BIM management & coordination across design and construction phases on projects of all types.
We apply technology and hard earned experience to integrate and interrogate designs, manage issue resolution, and connect stakeholders with model data.
The key priority is construction risk minimisation and asset data capture. By working collaboratively with design, construction and FM teams, we reduce information silos and deliver reliable models and drawings.

DIGITAL ASSET & FAMILY CREATION
BIM components are 3D digital representations of products with embedded meta-data that may include product codes, technical specs, warranties etc.
Quality BIM families assist designers to integrate products into designs. Products and systems are then accurately represented, streamlining their specification and installation. Asset owners that leverage BIM information will also benefit from BIM components.

RECENT BIM PROJECTS
Snells Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant
Fletcher Construction engaged BuildBIM to review and enhance the consultant developed design models on the Snells Beach WWTP.
Our role was to ensure the model's accuracy and completeness was in alignment with the project documentation. This involved checking and updating pipe runs against Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID), adding missing components, and updating pipe types, lengths and fittings to match engineering specifications and coordinate for installation.
Our detailed adjustments ensured a precise and reliable model, supporting Fletcher in achieving smooth project execution.
