Proven Success in Structural Engineering
Challenge: Inability to Bid on Larger Projects
The client was frequently reaching their capacity limits with their in-house team. They were struggling to take on larger, more complex, and more profitable commercial projects due to a lack of skilled BIM modelers and the high cost of hiring locally.
Key Challenges:
- High overhead costs for in-house staff.
- Difficulty finding experienced Revit Structure professionals.
- Inability to scale quickly for large project bids.
- Losing competitive edge to larger firms.
Our Solution: A Dedicated BIM Modeling Team
LiveHelpIndia assembled a dedicated team of four certified Revit Structure modelers and one project manager who integrated directly with the client's design team.
- Provided a scalable team that could be adjusted based on project needs.
- Operated on a 24/7 cycle to accelerate model development.
- Implemented rigorous QA checks to ensure models were clash-free and met client standards.
- Handled all structural modeling, allowing the client's core team to focus on high-level engineering and client relations.
Challenge: Bottlenecks in Steel Detailing
The contractor's projects were consistently delayed due to slow turnaround times for steel shop drawings. Their in-house team was overwhelmed, leading to errors, increased RFIs from fabricators, and costly rework on site.
Key Challenges:
- Slow production of critical shop drawings.
- High rate of errors and omissions.
- Delays in the steel fabrication and erection schedule.
- Increased project costs due to rework and delays.
Our Solution: A 24/7 Steel Detailing Powerhouse
We deployed a specialized team of Tekla Structures detailers who worked in shifts to provide around-the-clock support.
- Established a secure workflow for transferring design drawings and feedback.
- The team received drawings at the end of the UK business day and delivered completed shop drawings by the next morning.
- Utilized automated checking tools and a multi-level manual review process to ensure near-perfect accuracy.
- Provided clear and concise communication, drastically reducing the number of RFIs.
Challenge: Inaccurate Cost Estimations and Material Waste
The developer was struggling with inaccurate preliminary cost estimations, which led to budget overruns. Their manual quantity take-off process was slow, prone to errors, and resulted in significant material waste during construction.
Key Challenges:
- Unreliable project budgets.
- Slow and error-prone manual take-offs.
- Over-ordering and waste of construction materials.
- Difficulty in comparing bids from contractors.
Our Solution: Precision Quantity Take-off & BOM Services
We assigned a team of quantity surveyors and BIM specialists to work from the developer's design models.
