Turnkey BIM Solution
for Consultants & Contractors
We provide turnkey solutions to Electrical Design Consultants and Electrical Contractors in developing 3D Models from PDF, AutoCAD or Point Cloud input. All the 3D models developed are aligned with the Project BIM Standards and Design Specification mandated for the project.
The Electrical Models developed are coordinated with the Architecture, Structure, Mechanical, Fire Protection and Plumbing models to identify any potential clashes or accessibility issues. The issues identified are raised as RFI’s to produce a clash free model before the extraction of drawings.
Benefits of BIM for MEP Engineers
Check out our blog on how the use of BIM benefits MEP Engineers — from improved coordination to reduced rework on site. Explore real-world advantages and insights that every MEP professional should know.
Example
LOD 500 Model
Let us consider a example of a Generator model as per LOD 500 specifications used for facilities management and operations.
- As-built dimensions and exact location verified on site.
- Manufacturer details including model number, capacity, and serial number.
- Maintenance data including service intervals and checklist.
- Connection details: electrical wiring, fuel lines, and exhaust routes
- Access clearance zones for maintenance and safety
- Operational data like load capacity, voltage, and runtime tracking
- Integration with O&M manual and warranty documentation
- Barcode/QR code integration for asset tagging and FM system linking

Modeling of Electrical
Lighting Systems
With the use of BIM, we are placing an intelligent 3D Lighting Objects model with all the data integrated. A lighting scheme developed in BIM has the capability to deliver the performance data even without the use of third-party software’s like Dialux. The integration of lighting calculation into BIM enables the client to visualize the Candela requirements per room or per floor.
The Electrical Light fixture modelling with the necessary data like name, size, type, and photometric data can be used to perform Lighting and Energy analysis. With the ability to develop photorealistic renderings from the 3D model, the lighting designers can identify lighting pollution and analyse whether the lighting requirements for the project are satisfied based on the project requirements and building codes.
By performing daylight analysis using BIM, the designers can understand the natural light availability of a particular space. With the ability to measure the daylight, designers can make better design decisions, such as the selection of lighting fixtures (dimmable fixtures, ballasts, etc.) and the use of specific lighting control systems to supplement the daylight.
Electrical Circuting & Panel Board Schedules
In the traditional method of CAD Drafting, Electrical Panel Board Schedules have to be calculated manually or with the support of third-party software. Even with the use of third-party software, the data has to be gathered and input after reviewing the individual Electrical Drawings.
With the advancement of BIM, every piece of data is object-oriented, and the schedules can be easily generated from the model itself.
Why Use BIM
for Electrical Trades
Using electrical BIM services, contractors can develop coordinated 3D models of lighting, power systems, feeders, cable trays, conduits, duct banks, and equipment like transformers and generators.
These models enable offsite prefabrication, minimize material and labor waste, and improve overall project efficiency by saving time and installation costs.
Enhances Project Coordination
Ensures seamless collaboration between teams, reducing errors and miscommunication.
Supports Electrical Prefabrication
Facilitates efficient prefabrication of electrical components, saving time and material costs.
Identifies Field Issues Early
Proactively detects potential issues on-site, avoiding costly rework.
Accelerates Project Completion
Streamlines scheduling and execution, enabling faster project delivery.
