Building Information Modelling
We are at the forefront of technological advancements when it comes to our design capabilities. We use Building Information Modelling (BIM) software to create 3D drawings, integrating design information to provide clients with a deeper understanding of every detail within projects.
What are the benefits of BIM?
It’s an integral part of what we do and helps our clients to better visualise their future buildings potentially leading to fewer changes and errors in the process. BIM drawings are advantageous for reducing installation time, reducing the possibility of oversights during tender stage, and also avoiding coordination clashes. It also allows for better project coordination and collaboration with stakeholders. The virtual prototype becomes a reference and guide to better construction, and it continues to improve.
Using modelling for more collaborative working is helping our design consultants team and clients to fast-track schedules, optimise design layouts, test whether certain elements will fit within certain layouts and helps us to achieve and incorporate further energy efficient measures.
BIM has already been used on a number of our Mechanical and Electrical Design projects including our Homerton University Hospital project and our West Burton Power Station project.
What we offer >
We use the latest technologies including Revit software to produce high quality drawings for our clients, ensuring full co-ordination and communication between all stakeholders
Improved project outcomes and higher quality work that creates a more flexible project that’s easy to adapt to changes
Virtual model can be used for analysis to explore design options and create visualisations to help clients understand what the building will look like before it’s built
A smarter, more efficient ways to design and build, creating spaces that are smarter and more resilient
Use of tools that support projects from early stage design through to completion
Optimised projects with integrated analysis, generative design and visualisation and simulation tools
Relevant Case Studies
Homerton University Hospital
KIPO were appointed by Homerton University Hospital to undertake a review of the CHP system. Using BIM software, we designed a 400KVA CHP system to go within a live boiler room, with pipework adjustments and new gas supply coupled directly to the incoming power.
