• Most of the well-known Design-Build companies have an objective validation of the in-house BIM models. This ensures that the information contained in the Building Information Model (BIM) is accurate and consistent. The process consists of standard checks such as checking the folder structure, naming conventions, drawing and sheet naming, as well as comprehensive checks such as design verification and validation and adherence to building code. In order to ascertain that the outputs such as CD sets, shop drawings and bill of quantity (BOQ), from your BIM model are reliable, adherence to industry best practices, standards, and Levels of Development (LOD) is mandatory.
  
  The Audit Services Includes:
  
  1. File Nomenclature Check Services
  The nomenclature of files plays a vital role in keeping the BIM files on a central platform and making it as comprehensive as possible by the file name itself. The nomenclature of the files are defined beforehand, at the initial stage or defined in the BEP of the project. These procedures are defined with an intent to ease the communication & coordination among various stakeholders involved, accessing the files of the project by making it standardized across the entire project.
  
  2. Visual Check Services
  The 3D BIM models created in Revit or any other software are exported into a viewer which enables us to navigate through the modelled facility in real time and also mark the discrepancies if any. These marked discrepancies can then be accessed by the respective team members for further rectification.
  
  3. Clash Check Services
  The Clash detection process carried out through Naviswork on the 3D BIM model prepared gives an extra insight while auditing the model, which a visual check might omit. The clashes recorded in the report enable us to visit the exact location and view the situation through an all-discipline point of view, helping us record any design changes required at those particular locations.
