BIM modelling services for increased productivity across construction and engineering projects
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an essential part of successful construction and engineering projects and a key driver for increasing collaboration and productivity across the industry.
Our experienced team offer BIM services that save time and costs on your project. A building information model is an integrated digital model that allows much closer collaboration between design teams, engineers and contractors. A key benefit is providing early-stage clash detection to avoid lengthy delays and costly errors during construction.
By combining geometric data, alphanumeric (usually asset-system) data and documentation according to pre-defined standards, BIM consulting services improve interoperability, making it easy to share all relevant project data with all stakeholders. Our specialists can produce COBie data along with your BIM model, ensuring your project aligns with the UK BIM Framework and UK Information Management Mandate.
As a comprehensive methodology for mapping the entire building life cycle (from planning to completion and even through to demolition), high quality BIM modelling services are a vital part of streamlining construction projects and improving profitability.
Creating collaborative virtual environments
Because of our integrated software, these BIM models are easy to edit and manipulate, allowing you to rapidly work around any issues that are uncovered in your project. A fully integrated BIM model also enables more collaboration across your team, with architects, designers and contractors all working on the same platform. BIM models are therefore an integral part of modern construction environments.
Fully integrated BIM models
Our clients use us for BIM outsourcing services because we are specialists in creating integrated 3D models that include the full variety of building services. Integrated BIM services show all building elements as they would appear in the completed project, so you can see how each installation will use the space and impact all other services. An obvious application is providing clash detection for MEP systems.
We produce models complete with both physical and graphical elements, including the technical and manufacturer information for each building asset. This means information needed for installation of each of the key systems is held in one place, effortlessly synchronised and easily accessible by all members of a cross-discipline team.
By creating a digital BIM model in the earliest stages of your process you can:
- Avoid long, costly MEP clashes by bringing all the project information together into one model.
- Easily meet government and industry standards relating to construction information management and handover.
- Improve collaboration and communication by having one source of data, accessible to all.
- Save time on check-ins and updates by giving a cross-disciplinary team access to the latest, comprehensive model at all times.
- Make far more detailed plans, including the exact make and model of materials, quantities required and other specifications.
- Reduce the overall project length, by anticipating problems, and create significant savings for your business.
- Provide more accurate forecasting and scheduling for your construction project.
- Provide comprehensive information for better decisions on how to optimise space for furniture or occupancy of the completed building.
Using BIM outsourcing services allows you to access specialist expertise when you need it, rather than having a permanent, in-house resource. We stay up to date with the latest technologies and requirements so you can always rely on having a professional output.

Why choose MultiCAD for BIM services?
-MultiCAD's combination of extensive industry experience, highly skilled professionals, and commitment to using the latest BIM technology makes us a top choice for comprehensive BIM services.
Can I outsource all my BIM needs to MultiCAD?
-Yes, MultiCAD offers a comprehensive range of BIM consulting services, for all stages of your project. Use our expertise to free up your team to focus on other critical aspects of your project.
Do you provide both CAD and BIM services?
-Yes, our team of specialists can meet all your requirements for both CAD and BIM services and have experience working on projects from fully co-ordinated 3D MEP BIM Models right down to simple 2D floor plans.
I need a 3D BIM model, can you provide this?
-Yes, we can provide this. A 3D BIM model is the standard BIM output of a digital geometric model that gives useful information on clashes between the installation plans for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
I need a 4D BIM model, can you provide this?
-Yes, we can provide this. A 4D BIM model is one that includes scheduling information, which allows the project team to better understand how the construction will be sequenced over time. It allows better planning and briefing of contractors, leading to much better predictability for the project.
