Addmore solutions for BIM challenges

As a specialised service provider, Addmore Services says it can serve as a building information modelling (BIM) outsourcing partner for companies looking to utilise the full potential of BIM.

In today’s competitive architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, embracing building information modelling (BIM) is crucial for success. However, fully utilising its potential requires expertise, resources, and advanced software – challenges often faced by construction firms. This is where Addmore Services is looking to step in as a specialised service provider and trusted BIM outsourcing partner.

BIM has revolutionised the way projects are designed, constructed and managed, offering enhanced collaboration, improved efficiency, and higher-quality outcomes. It provides a comprehensive and integrated view of the project, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions, detect clashes, and optimise design and construction processes. With BIM, AEC firms can visualise the project in 3D, extract accurate quantities and cost estimates, simulate construction processes, and analyse potential conflicts before they occur. This level of detail and insight helps minimise errors, reduce rework, and improve overall project efficiency.

“However, fully leveraging the power of BIM requires expertise, advanced software, and significant resources. This is where partnering with Addmore Services becomes a game-changer,” says Colin Addley, the Founder and President of Addmore Services.

Addmore Services delivers cutting-edge BIM services, visually striking renderings, and detail-oriented 3D modelling, transforming its clients’ design vision into immersive reality.

“Partners can tap into a global talent pool of BIM experts who possess the knowledge and experience to drive projects forward,” Addley says. “These experts bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, accelerating decision-making processes, reducing errors, and ensuring accurate project documentation. By outsourcing BIM services with Addmore, firms can seamlessly integrate BIM into their projects, resulting in enhanced collaboration among stakeholders and improved project outcomes.”

Addmore Services demonstrates its proficiency by offering a comprehensive range of services, spanning from Level of Development (LOD) 1 to the advanced 500 series, ensuring clients access a full spectrum of detailed and accurate BIM solutions tailored to their project requirements. With a dedicated team of BIM professionals, advanced technology infrastructure, and a client-centric approach, Addmore Services is well-equipped to meet the unique needs of AEC firms seeking to outsource their BIM requirements, he adds.

Under Virtual Studio, Addmore provides customised architectural drafting services and visualisation from 2D to 7D as per requirement. Customised clash reporting format, clash tracking system and accurate detection of clashes makes this one of the desired BIM services offered. Depending on the project and the use of BIM, the level of detail can be optimised in which the point cloud information is converted to Revit. This is further converted into BIM 4D, 5D, 6D, and 7D models. For Family Creation, Addmore creates, extracts, standardises, and manages BIM content including 2D drafting details, 3D components, project files, furniture, and more.

How does partnering with Addmore Services work? Initiating a service at Addmore Services is a straightforward and efficient process designed to meet the unique needs of its clients. The journey begins with the submission of detailed plans through email, Dropbox, or a similar platform. A comprehensive set of drawings and a clear written brief outlining the requirements and expectations are essential components of this phase.

In the event of conflicts within the submitted documents, Addmore team initiates a Request for Information (RFI) process, ensuring that any uncertainties are promptly addressed. To expedite the workflow, it also provides a list of detailed assumptions, offering an alternative avenue for addressing potential queries that may arise during the RFI process.

Following this preliminary phase, Addmore Services presents a detailed proposal, including a transparent breakdown of costs per hour or lump sum, along with a projected timeframe for the completion of the project. Clients can conveniently review and endorse this proposal via DocuSign, which incorporates the company’s general terms and conditions for clarity.

Upon the receipt of the signed DocuSign documentation and the advance payment, Addmore Services promptly commences the project works. This streamlined approach reflects its commitment to transparency, efficiency, and a client-focused experience throughout every stage of the service initiation process.

“The power of outsourcing in transforming AEC projects with BIM is undeniable. By partnering with specialised service providers like Addmore Services, AEC firms can unlock the full potential of BIM, enhancing collaboration, improving efficiency, and achieving exceptional project outcomes. Outsourcing enables firms to access specialised expertise, leverage advanced technology, reduce costs, and mitigate risks. It allows firms to focus on their core competencies while benefiting from the scalability, flexibility, and innovation that outsourcing offers,” Addley concludes.
