“Working on the Rathbone Square project was an immensely rewarding experience. Adhering to BIM Level 2 LOD 400, we meticulously created 3D virtual models for all Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) services and equipment within the apartments. The ability to clash detect early in the process was crucial in resolving potential issues before they impacted the project timeline. Asset tagging of all maintainable plant and equipment has significantly enhanced the facilities management capabilities for the long term. Additionally, our team produced precise 2D installation drawings and actively participated in bi-weekly BIM review meetings to keep the project on track. It was a pleasure to contribute to such a landmark development in the heart of London, and the chance to out on site on a regular basis provided good appreciation of site operatives.”

“HE Simm have used the services of BIMTech Engineering Ltd for the last 3 years where we have engaged BIMTech Engineering as out BIM delivery partner with great success. Their knowledge, professionalism, work ethic and commitment to detail has greatly assisted HE Simm to deliver projects on time. – which supports our perfect delivery strategy by futher minimising re-work and increasing quality of installation. Working closely with our project teams BIMTech are essentially part of the team and often seen as an extension of our company. Their knowledge and appreciation of construction ensures they produce BIM to a high standard with consideration of CDM in respect of installation and maintenance requirements. As issues undoubtedly occur, we have found BIMTech Engineering to be pro-active in proposing solutions as opposed to reporting problems. BIMTech work collaboratively with the design team and ensure prior to issue all MEP models have been federated and clash detected, highlighting any potential issues prior to construction.”
