MB BIM Solutions, LLC

Model, sequence, and coordinate concrete to a high level of detail, including pour break locations and trade embeds. Produce lift drawings, coordinated slab embed drawings, and total station layout data from approved concrete models.

• Concrete Lift Drawings

  Improve the quality and efficiency of concrete construction by creating very detailed models that incorporate sequence, pour break locations, and embeds or penetrations from trade contractors.

• Rebar Modeling and Shop Drawings

  Reduce congestion and tonnage, enhance coordination, and expedite schedule by modeling of rebar and creating shop drawings from the model. Bar lists are exported from the model straight to rebar fabrication software, allowing rebar to be bought out on a unit cost basis.

• Slab Coordination Drawings

  Model all elements embedded in slabs from various trade shop drawings (steel embeds, glazing anchors, PT anchors, handrail attachments, studrails, roof anchors, etc.). Coordinate embeds against each other and detailed concrete geometry, resolve coordination issues, and produce coordination drawings and point layout data.

• Total Station Layout Drawings

  Compress schedule and reduce cost using Autodesk Point Layout to provide total station layout data (points) for the concrete geometry based on coordinated and approved concrete models.

Coordinate mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems from design through trade coordination. The process resolves clashes, manages constructability reviews, and delivers as-built models for fabrication.

• Design Model QC

  Perform constructability and coordination reviews of design team models during the design phase, reporting potential issues before requests for information (RFIs) or architectural supplemental instructions (ASIs) impact the schedule and budget.

• Design Model Coordination

  Conduct post-design constructability and coordination reviews of design team models and selected trade models to identify and report remaining design and trade-specific issues.

• Trade Coordination Lead

  Lead the coordination and update of trade models following the design phase, generating accurate as-built models that enable off-site trade prefabrication.

Document site conditions and track construction progress using 3D laser scanning, aerial drone imaging, 360-degree photography, and real-time site webcams to support quality control and grading analysis.

• 360 Photo Documentation

  Provide off-site partners with progress updates by documenting as-built conditions of in-wall and overhead MEPF systems using 360 degree cameras.

• Drone Services

  Employ drones to capture aerial videos and images of construction progress for project stakeholders. Create orthomosiac maps, point clouds, and models to check the quality and accuracy of installed work.

• Laser Scanning

  Create point clouds and 3D models of existing site conditions using laser scanners. These models can then be utilized for coordination efforts and floor flatness analysis.

• Site Webcams

  Install webcam and provide real-time high quality photos and time-lapse video of on-site conditions and construction progress.

• Grading Analysis

  Utilize drone mapping technology to help clients visualize and analyze elevation differences in site grading.

• Thermal Drone Inspections

  Utilize drones equipped with thermal imaging technology to detect and analyze thermal anomalies in building envelopes.

Provide fabrication-level modeling and coordinated shop drawings for specialty subcontractors, including precast concrete, miscellaneous metals, cold-formed steel framing, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

• Precast Concrete Fabrication Modeling

  Create fabrication-level models of precast concrete elements, including the rebar, connections, and erection material. Improve productivity and efficiency by using one model and its data for design, production, shipping, and erection.

• Miscellaneous Fabrication Modeling

  Using design drawings and specifications as input, coordinate the trade content required and flush out conflicts or missing information in design drawings. Model the trade content to ensure accuracy and integration with other building components and systems, and create shops drawings from the model, for submittal to the design team.

• MEP Modeling and Shop Drawings

  Model mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and coordinate content with architecture, structure, fire protection, and existing elements. Develop drawings of modeled systems for installation purposes.

• Cold-Formed Metal Framing

  Develop efficient designs for cold-formed steel framing and provide model-based shop drawings that fully document framing with elevations, sections, and 3d views. Assist with clash detection and coordination with other trade contractors.

Support projects during the preconstruction phase through virtual site logistics planning, sequence simulations, model-based quantity take-offs, and constructability reviews.

• Site Logistics and Schedule Simulations

  Produce sophisticated graphics and simulations for site logistics and schedule sequencing.

• Quantity Take-Offs

  Use model data to produce more accurate quantity take-offs.

• BIM Constructability Reviews

  Provide BIM constructability reviews of design level models.

• BIM Execution Plans

  Create BIM Execution Plans and verify their implementation on construction projects.

Provide custom virtual design and construction support, including engineering solutions for field challenges and populating as-built models with operations and maintenance data.

• Engineering Solutions for Construction Challenges

  Develop engineered solutions to address common challenges encountered in the field during construction.

• As-built Model Population

  Populate as-built models with operations and maintenance (O&M) data and hyperlinks for asset management purposes.

• Construction Technology Implementation

  Help contractors identify, test, and implement construction technology solutions.
