What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling, is a smart, 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction professionals the tools to design, plan, and manage buildings and infrastructure more efficiently. This helps everyone involved in the project stay on the same page, avoid costly mistakes, and make better decisions from start to finish. Whether it’s planning, designing, building, or maintaining a property, BIM makes the whole process smoother and more efficient.
What are the benefits of BIM?
-
Improved Collaboration
Teams can work together in real time—architects, engineers, and contractors stay on the same page. -
Saves Time and Money
Better planning means fewer mistakes, less rework, and more accurate budgeting. -
Clearer Visualization
3D models make it easier to understand designs and share ideas with clients and stakeholders. -
Supports the Whole Building Lifecycle
BIM isn’t just for design and construction—it also helps manage and maintain the building long after it’s built. -
Smarter Decisions with Data
BIM helps with forecasting, risk management, and designing for sustainability using real project data. -
Reduces Errors and Clashes
Design conflicts are caught early through model coordination, avoiding costly issues on site. -
Improves Health and Safety
By visualizing the site and planning ahead, teams can create safer construction environments. -
Enables Sustainability
BIM tools can analyze energy use, materials, and environmental impact, leading to greener, more efficient buildings.
What do we offer:
BIM Implementation, Strategy & Training
We help architecture and construction firms implement BIM workflows effectively, whether starting from scratch or improving existing processes. This includes defining clear standards, setting up templates, and training your team for long-term success.
We create customized BIM project templates, view templates, naming conventions, and documentation aligned with your firm's needs. At RTX Studios, we also develop and maintain BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) to ensure every project runs smoothly and follows agreed-upon standards.
For teams looking to upskill, we offer tailored training and onboarding programs covering Revit and other BIM tools, ensuring your staff becomes proficient and confident in their daily workflows.
Compliance & Documentation (COBie & ISO Standards)
At RTX Studios, we ensure that all BIM models are developed in alignment with ISO 19650 and other relevant industry standards to support clear collaboration and efficient project delivery.
We also provide complete support for COBie (Construction-Operations Building Information Exchange) workflows. Our services include the preparation and export of structured COBie spreadsheets from your BIM models in .xlsx format, with deliverables such as asset lists, equipment metadata, space assignments, and contact information.
To guarantee a smooth and reliable handover, we perform thorough COBie compliance checks and data validation prior to submission—ensuring the final output is accurate, complete, and ready for integration into facility management systems.
BIM Coordination & Clash Detection
At RTX Studios, we know that effective interdisciplinary coordination is critical to the success of any BIM project. We use industry-leading tools such as Revit, Navisworks, and Solibri, and we are experienced in setting up and managing coordination workflows on the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) platform.
We coordinate architectural, structural, and MEP models through structured clash detection reports and clear resolution processes. This approach helps reduce on-site conflicts and avoid costly delays. For long-term or complex projects, we also offer ongoing coordination support, including scheduled review meetings to track and resolve issues proactively.
Parametric Families & Object Creation
We design and develop high-quality, lightweight Revit families tailored to your project requirements. Whether it's doors, furniture, equipment, or custom components, each family is built for performance, flexibility, and accurate data representation.
