BIM / 3D Modeling
CaddFX provides BIM Modeling support for the next level of project information and visual representation for architects, engineers, and consultants by create parametric, sophisticated, intelligent models. Through the integrated BIM process we help architects, engineers, builders, and owners to design, analyze, document, and deliver designs from the conceptual phase through the construction phase, and beyond.
Services we offer:
BIM Implementation
We have expertise in installing, configuring and developing creating Intelligent Libraries for parametric families of various Architectural & MEP components. They contain a centralized library of components such as ducts, electrical symbols, piping etc. as per the design and specifications provided by the client which can be used across many projects.
- Migration of existing CAD Standards into Revit
- Creation of Revit Project Template
- Revit Training & Mentoring
- Creation of "Intelligent" Parametric Libraries
Architectural Services
We implement BIM technology in architectural design. BY using BIM technology architects and other building-related designers and builders can adopt three dimensional views from the beginning of the design and easily work out the relationships between building components virtually before the heavy equipment touches the earth.
The Architects can smoothly communicate their design-to the client, to the builder, to reviewing authorities as BIM technology helps architects and their clients to look at their design from many viewpoints, to spin and flip and slice the model, to explore different arrangements of spaces and finishes as the design is developed. The viewers are able to follow a path through and around the building as this process can even be animated.

Creation of Virtual Intelligent 3D Model
We generate 3D Model which proficiently and flawlessly unites the geographic information, 3D geometry, spatial relationships and characteristics for demonstration of HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing layout and connections inside the buildings.

Parametric Components
Parametric components are the basis for all building components designed in BIM Models MEP. They offer an open, graphical system for design thinking as well as an opportunity to express design intent at increasingly detailed levels. Use parametric components for even the most elaborate assemblies for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering systems. Best of all, no programming language or coding is required.
Construction Services
BIM's provide up-to-date and reliable information of the project design, scope, cost information, schedules, energy analysis, structural design, facility management, etc.
Our BIM technology focuses on Virtual Design and Construction with additional benefits throughout a facility's lifecycle. Our structural design team creates a three-dimensional model of the facility before the start of the project. The model combines & coordinates design and construction elements, detecting clashes to eliminate in-field interferences. For construction designing purpose we provide correct information & eliminate unnecessary remodeling.
MEP Building Information Modeling (BIM) Services
-
Mechanical HVAC Space Design
Create room color-fill plans by using design parameters to communicate design intent. Visually to quickly facilitate design reviews and present your design criteria to clients for review and validation.
-
Mechanical Duct and Pipe System Modeling
Mechanical functionality offers 3D modeling for ductwork and piping to create HVAC systems. Intuitive layout tools make 3D modeling fast and easy for even the first-time user to master. Easily modify the model by dragging design elements to move or change them on the screen, in almost any view. All model views and sheets update automatically whenever a change is made anywhere for accurate and coordinated designs and documents at all times.
-
Plumbing System Modeling
Gain full 3D parametric modeling of plumbing system layout with BIM Models MEP. The software automatically places all risers and drops as you design your plumbing system. Intuitive layout tools make 3D modeling fast and easy. Modify your design by simply dragging design elements to move or change them on the screen, in almost any view. All model views and sheets update automatically whenever a change is made in any view for accurate and coordinated designs and documents at all times.
-
Sloped Pipe and Invert Elevations
Model sloped piping for all plumbing systems according to industry code. Simply define the rise over run and lay out your plumbing design.
-
Electrical Panel Schedules
Create panel schedules as you lay out your design. Balance the loads or change circuits for a device directly through the panel schedule. Easily edit the panel circuits through a built-in panel circuit editor.
Structural (BIM) Services
CaddFX offers Structural Building Information Modeling services where we provide structural CAD designing, structural drafting and structural detailing to our clients. Our services include the following:
- Creation of Structural BIM Model
- Construction Documents and Analysis
- Virtual Structural BIM Model Walk through
- Extraction of Project Information
- Reinforced Concrete Structure Modeling
- Steel Structure Modeling
- Rebar Structure Modeling
- Precast Structure Modeling
- Panel Structure Modeling
Interference Checking
Use this tool during the design process to coordinate major building elements and systems, helping to prevent collisions between elements and reducing the risk of construction cost overruns.
Clash Detection and Risk Mitigation
While starting construction work internal conflicts between various components is occurred. In order to resolve and eliminate these we offer cost effective design coordination by performing clash detection between various components and activities before starting of construction activities. Hence, this serves as a very effective tool for Risk Mitigation of construction activities.
Construction Documentation
We also offer support services for the development CD's of Architectural & MEP and are capable of easily conducting a take-off of high quality HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing 2D drawings directly from the 3D Revit Model.
We can easily extract HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing 2D drawings of high quality from the 3D Model. Automatically generate plan, section, elevation, detail, and schedule views that accurately capture the design information in your design model.
All views of the model are synchronized at all times from a common database where changes made to any one view propagate to all views simultaneously. Coordination is managed by change propagation within the model.
Extraction of Project Information
We remove Material Specifications and Quantities, Time schedules showing the sequence of activities, Cost Estimation and Area charts to make easy Building Lifecycle management.
Energy Simulation
We give assistance for analyzing design alternatives to improve the energy efficiency without effecting the cost effectiveness and thermal comfort of the buildings. We also help in evaluating the lighting effects visually and quantitatively for any given design. We can specify the lighting intensity.
Scheduling
We show the scheduling of various activities of HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing services along with their criticality and slack periods. Most design parameters for MEP systems are available for scheduling. We can even create multiple types of schedules based on your needs (for example, lighting schedules, mechanical and electrical equipment schedules) that are linked to your BIM Models Systems model can be extracted and developed.
BIM Advantages
- Building Information Modeling provides three dimensional information to view digitally before it's ever physically constructed which offers all members of the building design team to visualize all the components of a project and how they are integrated.
- BIM can eliminate many of the inefficiencies of current construction practices and improve the transfer of information during all phases of a building's life. Many stakeholders (e.g. owners, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, and facility managers) can access a building information model-entering, extracting, and/or updating information throughout the building's life-cycle.
- Support for sustainable design and analysis
- Heating and cooling analysis
- Multidiscipline coordination and interference checking
- Design for constructability
