Outsourcing has become an innovative and advantageous way of getting the job done for many companies worldwide. Framing and BIM are no exception to this. Collaborating with us will be a breeze considering the following aspects.

1. COST: we have a very effective and strategic way of calculating and tracking the work hours right from the bidding stage to design changes.

We justify extra work, so you do not have to. 

• • We understand the clients’ desire to avoid extra work costs when modeling, but this is often unavoidable if there are design changes or MEPF revisions. If MEPF coordination is required, we offer three passes until signoff.
  • We know how hard it is to get extra BIM work reimbursed for design changes. That is why we are methodical about tracking the time and providing evidence to support extra work costs. We provide detailed information on where the changes originated from the contract documents per our overlays and invoice hours according to each revision.
  • We always provide a transparent, detailed breakdown of our estimates. Based on our experience, we are confident in our forecasts for prospective or future projects.

  • We might not be the lowest bidder, and we do not base our profits based on change orders. We can provide framing industry-specific training and consult on effectively coordinating using the models we offer and take over revisions.

2. WORKFORCE: We back you up with our committed and skilled professionals to kick start the job, and a quick turnaround time is our specialty.
   • We will not over-promise. We commit to having the necessary workforce (a specific number of people) on your project for the duration of your project.
   • We will outline what resources we will make available.
   • That is why we have long-standing relationships with our clients.

3. TIME ZONE: We have the first point of contact in the USA to be approachable during your working hours. It would be best if you did not work outside of your regular business hours.
   • We see time zone differences as an advantage, especially if you have an in-house modeling team. We can supplement your modeling efforts, and the work is never on hold.

   • We can work seamlessly with your team using BIM360 design, so work keeps being done even after working hours round-the-clock productivity.

4. LANGUAGE:Just the experience speaks for itself. We have been having conversations and interactions with clients via email and virtual meetings for the last eight years. All our employees are fluent in English and are in contact with the client for any discussion raised.

5. TOOLS: With a pool of professionals from varied work experiences and collaborations with various clients, we have mastered many tools and adapt to anything new to suit your needs. Below is a non-exhaustive list of programs we have been using in our projects.
   • AutoDesk Revit: Revit is the most popular BIM software widely used in the industry. Its compatibility with our other software helps coordinate with all trades.
   • StrucSoft MWF: While there may be many methods to do framing, we choose StrucSoft MWF as it’s the best tool available for quick turnarounds in the trade. The reason being we can leverage the Architectural models and their settings. We have built over the MWF work process and made it more efficient and faster by automation and scripting.
   • Bluebeam Revu/Studio: We use Bluebeam for document review and analysis for its many functions and ease of use. Tracking the markups, exporting, and importing them helps us to not miss out on anything. Comparing PDFs for design changes, linking the details, and visual search is a straightforward process. On top of all, it comes with Studio. The data can be centrally located and accessed by everyone in the project and simultaneously use the data for reference and markups on this collaboration platform.
   • BIM360 Collaboration and Docs: This is a cloud-based platform that effectively allows project teams to work in a collaborative environment. We can use this as a central location for all project-related information/documents, and all the stakeholders on the project can design and collaborate from the same location. BIM360 will help in a seamless workflow and trade coordination which saves a lot of time and effort.
   • Revizto: This is one of the platforms we used for tracking issues and coordination across all trades in the project. It supports various file types, and importing them into this software helps us visualize the models vs. shop drawings, identify clashes, and track them for solutions.
   • BIMTrack: This will be used to document issues and resolve them by assigning action points to the concerned person/organization with target dates for closing the issue.

Also, your clients never need to know the BIM work is being outsourced. We do the backend work, modeling scanning for issues, and coordination so that you can take the credit. Our goal is to have you as the front person in coordination meetings and not an observer who is just outsourcing BIM. This program will enhance your participation in the process, which will help you gain confidence in GC.

Most importantly, all the team members in our office have license seats for all the software we use to produce the needed output.
