Architects

Increase Firm Profitability thru Purpose-Built BIM

In today's tough economic environment the ability to control costs and resources is imperative. Staying profitable requires increasing billable hours and finding new revenue streams.

ARC BIM Services Group's suite of products and services provides for both.

iBIM Review

iBIM Review preempts RFIs by exposing potential issues in the Design Stage. Leveraging powerful Discrepancy & Collision Reports, the informed Architect can modify a design before releasing Construction Documents for bid. The data rich 3D BIM model is a powerful tool for virtual walk thrus with the Owner - allowing for evaluation of foot traffic, room layout and equipment access.

iBIM Operate

Once completed, updating an iBIM Model with as-builts provides a new deliverable to the owner. Instead of providing piles of paper, DVDs & cutsheets, the Architect can provide an iBIM Operate model as a single object with all of the essential data. Everything from equipment models & maintainence schedules to color schemes, scales and pictures - all in one easily accessible location.

iBIM Custom

ARC BSG services support architectural back-end processes. Services run the gamut of managing BIM Object Models, creating BIM Families, producing Design Documents & Construction Documents to BIM Model creation for non-BIM enabled project team participants.

Coordination

Owners are including BIM deliverables as a project requirement with greater frequency. A single project may have multiple project models built by multiple parties. RCMS Group offers model reviews to integrate multiple models and on-site meeting facilitation to work thru resultant conflict among project participants.

Construction Managers

Utilize the benefits of BIM to differentiate yourself with Owners

Professional Construction Management firms are hired by owners to tackle a wide variety of complex issues.  By partnering with ARC BIM Services Group (ARC BSG), a Construction Manager (CM), can combine their vast experience with valuable BIM information to drive drive sucessful outcomes. Leveraging ARC BSG, a CM with little BIM experience can utilize the benefits of BIM to diffrentiate themselves in the eys of owners.

Engineers

Implement BIM on a project basis with no learning curve while mitigating professional risk

Architects and Owners are demanding that BIM be implemented on their projects.  The challenge for most engineering firms' is balancing where design ends and where shop drawings begin.  Additional cost and liability associated with deploying BIM, challenges the SMEP engineering disciplines.  ARC BIM Services Group's services allow engineering firms to implement BIM on a project basis with no learning curve while mitigating professional risk.

Facility Managers

Knowledgeably manage your facility with information rich 3D models

iBIM Operate

Knowledgeably manage your facility with information rich 3D BIM models that function as an Owner's Manual.  These models provide critical data that is easily accessible and manipulable.  WIth iBIM Operate, Facility Managers can maximize cost control and have access to key building information in one location.  Use the power of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to more accurately schedule maintenance and order

General Contractors

Minimize risk and control cost with Building Information Modeling (BIM)

iBIM Construct

iBIM Construct provides valuable insight into the constructability of your project by simulating building construction just as it would take place in the field.  Using our BIM construction simulation proces, ARC BIM Services Group (ARC BSG) can provide impartial validation that the project can be constructed as intended by the design team as well as mitigate risk and control cost.

iBIM Custom

ARC BSG services support back-end construction processes for General Constractors and Subcontractors without the need for capital expenditure.  These services include managing BIM object models, creating BIM families, product information models and on-site facilitation along with BIM integration and utilization training.

Coordination

Owners are including BIM deliverables as a project requirement with greater frequency.  A single project may have multiple project models built by multiple parties.  ARC BSG offers model reviews to integrate these multiple models as well as on-site meeting facilitation to work through resultant conflict among project participants.

Government

Government projects lead the way in requiring Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Government projects have the largest BIM requirement to date. Many of these early adopters of BIM, have extensive BIM requirements beyond 3D. Compliance is a major issue and experience matters. At the Federal, State and local level Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a reality. Teaming with the right BIM Consultant with extensive experience may determine whether your firm wins the project. Also, compliance with chain of custody of construction information and utilizing domestic resources becomes critical.  ARC BIM Services Group (ARC BSG) has experience in the following project types:

• Courthouses
• Schools
• Libraries
• University Systems
• Airports
• Transporation Centers
• Office Complexes
• Data Centers
• Processing Facilities

iBIM Operate

Knowledgeably manage your facility with information rich 3D BIM models that function as an Owner's Manual.  These models provide critical data that is easily accessible and manipulable.  With iBIM Operate, owners can maximize cost control and provide facility managers access to key building information in one location.

iBIM Custom

ARC BIM Services Group's custom services run the gamut of managing BIM object models, creating BIM families, producing design documents and construction documents to BIM model creation for non-BIM enabled project team participants.

Product Manufacturers

"The Content is the Model"

"The Content is the Model." In today's collaborative environment, the Building Product Manufacturer (BPM) is an integral participant in the project team. ARC BIM Services Group's team will assist in not only developing world-class content, but also provide insight into strategy and user experience. As heavy users of PIM (Product Information Models, for use in various building types and for various purpose (conceptual, design intent, build intent, fabrication support and facility management), ARC BIM Services Group (ARC BSG) has the hands on expertise to execute BIM Strategy and Tactics for a BPM.

Trade Contractors

General Contractors are requiring Trade Contractors to participate in BIM Coordination.

Many Trade Contractors have been utilizing 3D technologies for their own fabrication purposes for years.  With the advent of Building Information Modeling (BIM), General Contractors (GC) are requiring their Trade Contractors to participate in BIM Coordination.  This involves new software and a unique level of collaboration. ARC BIM Services Group (ARC BSG) works with Trade Contractors to create an interface with the GC BIM requirements while delivering traditional deliverables like shop drawings.  ARC BSG works with the following Trade Contractors:

• Structural
• Mechanical
• Electrical
• Plumbing
• Fire Protection
