Our BIM Department
OUR SERVICES
Our architects and engineers extend your ability to deliver projects in BIM. Our BIM capabilities vary from modelling LOD100 mass studies for architects, to providing detailed BIM models which cover architectural, structural and MEP designs in order to support the total design process. We can work on clash detection, construction planning and simulations but we can also support you in training your staff to become outstanding BIM-modelers.
1. BIM Modelling
We are a team of highly skilled and adaptable engineers, capable of delivering customized BIM modeling services for all disciplines. Our BIM models are carefully tailored and contain data and fabrication level details as required by the client. Depending on the required BIM output we can develop from LOD 100 to LOD 500.
2. 4D / 5D Construction
4D / 5D BIM services include construction animation, project scheduling and cost-estimation to control progress and cost on the construction site. Our 4D-scheduling services which include construction animation and project phasing can offer you peace of mind, knowing that your project is going in the right direction. Our 5D-estimating services ensure that your construction company can produce the Bills of Quantities to a degree of accuracy not possible traditionally.
3. Clash Detection
We offer full coordination of multidisciplinary models to help you avoid costly re-work and delays on construction sites. Using BIM, spatial coordination errors can be resolved in the design phase already, eliminating re-work and costly delays on the construction site.
4. As-Built Model
It sounds simple, delivering an as-built model after (re)construction works. But with years of experience, we know it can be a lot of work. Based on the red-line revisions that the construction company has sent us, we can produce the as-built model for you. We also understand what needs to be in the model if it will be used in the operational, facility management phase.
5. Facility Management
We have a lot of experience in providing data-rich, as-built models and COBie data extraction to ensure that your building will have the correct foundations for efficient and clear life cycle strategies. Based on a 3D scan on site or an existing as-built Architectural model, we will optimize the BIM model for the operation of the building or integrate it with facility management systems. We can advise on the integration of your BIM and FM system into a CDE platform.
OUR TEAM
Amira Alaa, held a BSc. In Architecture in 2000 and is a MSc. Researcher in Integrated Engineering Design Management. In addition to her proficiency in architectural design and execution, she has an extensive experience working in the Building Information Modelling & Management. Since 2008, she has been working in the field of BIM in different roles, from modeling and coordinating to training and management. As an experienced BIM Manager, she has founded and lead the BIM Units in several consultant offices, and worked on a diversity of projects in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Egypt.
In person, Amira is known by her colleagues and team members for her outgoing nature and exceptional leadership skills. Through her ability to bring the best out of her team, her remarkable attention to detail, and her determination to work to only the highest of standards, Amira is leading the NAB BIM department into a new and bright future of technologically-driven engineering.
