SERVICE OVERVIEW

What Is Architectural And Structural BIM?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a collaborative digital process that creates intelligent, data-rich 3D models of buildings and structures. Unlike traditional CAD drafting, BIM connects geometry with real project data: materials, quantities, specifications, and construction sequences.

Architectural BIM focuses on the building's spatial design, enclosure systems, facade components, and documentation packages. Structural BIM captures the load-bearing framework, steel connections, reinforcement layouts, and fabrication-level details that contractors build from.

Why Do AEC and Industrial Projects Need BIM?

• Architectural and structural clashes are detected and resolved in the model before construction begins

• Shop drawings generated from BIM models are accurate because they come directly from the coordinated 3D geometry

• Quantity takeoffs, schedules, and specifications are embedded in the model and update automatically

• Contractors get construction-ready packages they can trust, which means fewer RFIs and faster builds

• Building owners get an accurate as-built record that supports facility management for the life of the asset

Drawing Issue and Support

You share drawings, point cloud data, existing models, specifications, and applicable BIM standards. We review the information, define the project scope, and prepare a detailed delivery plan.

We send a detailed scope of work, LOD specification, deliverable schedule, and fixed-price cost estimate. No ambiguity before we start.

We prepare a project-specific BIM Execution Plan covering software, file naming, coordinate reference, model breakdown, and interface requirements with other disciplines.

Our team builds the architectural or structural model in Revit, Tekla, or your specified platform. Progress models are issued at agreed milestones for your review.

We run formal clash detection and coordinate the model with all relevant disciplines. Every clash is documented, resolved, and signed off before drawings are issued.

Approved drawing packages are issued with complete revision history. We remain available for RFI responses, design change updates, and as-built model delivery through project completion.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

Business Benefits Of Professional Architectural And Structural BIM

Investing in proper BIM services pays back across every stage of your project. Here is what clients consistently report after working with Monarch Innovation.

Fewer Construction Clashes

Clash detection in the BIM model eliminates the most common and expensive source of site rework. Most projects see a 60 to 80 percent reduction in coordination-related RFIs.

Faster Project Delivery

Construction teams that receive coordinated, clash-free drawing packages build faster. Less time waiting for clarifications means more time building.

Accurate Fabrication Packages

Structural steel, rebar, and precast drawings generated from BIM models are dimensionally accurate because they come directly from the 3D geometry. Fabrication errors drop significantly.

Lower Total Project Cost

Reduced rework, optimized material quantities, and fewer design change orders add up to measurable savings in both CAPEX and construction schedule contingency.

Regulatory Approval Support

BIM deliverables structured to ISO 19650 and COBie standards streamline the permit and authority approval process, especially on government and infrastructure projects.

Facility Management Ready

LOD 500 as-built models include the data building owners need for ongoing facility management, maintenance scheduling, and future renovation planning.

FAQ SECTION

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Architectural BIM and Structural BIM?

Architectural BIM models the spatial, aesthetic, and enclosure elements of a building including walls, floors, roofs, facades, and interior layouts. Structural BIM models the load-bearing framework including beams, columns, slabs, foundations, and connections. On a coordinated project, both models are combined and checked against each other to eliminate clashes before construction.

What LOD levels does Monarch Innovation work to?

We work from LOD 100 through LOD 500 depending on your project stage and requirements. We agree the required LOD at the start of each engagement and document it in the BIM Execution Plan so expectations are clear from day one.

Can Monarch Innovation work with existing 2D drawings or scanned documents?

Yes, we regularly create BIM models from 2D CAD drawings, PDF construction documents, scanned legacy drawings, and point cloud data. Our team can reconstruct accurate Revit or Tekla models from whatever source data you have available.

Do you follow ISO 19650 for BIM information management?

Yes, we structure BIM deliverables and information management workflows to comply with ISO 19650 Parts 1 and 2. For UK and government projects we also follow the UK BIM Framework requirements. We confirm which standards apply during scope definition.

How long does a structural BIM project take?

Timelines depend on project size, complexity, and LOD requirements. Small projects can be completed in two to four weeks. Large multi-discipline BIM packages for complex buildings typically run eight to twenty weeks. We provide a detailed schedule with every proposal.
