Professional Outsourced BIM 3D Virtual Presentations Services

Not only is BIM a great tool for creating files that can easily store and share a ton of different data, but it’s also great for creating perfect visuals for presentations. One of the most popular options is a fly-by or walk-through. This creates a simulated 3D environment where the viewer looks like they’re walking through a facility, but it’s all done through BIM.

BIM software will allow a well-trained designer to take photorealistic pictures of any part of your building, zooming in on the smallest details and creating section views of tough-to-see areas.

With professional outsourced BIM 3D virtual presentation services through CAD/CAM Services, you can have more pictures and videos to use during presentations. With our help, you can put together presentations that help investors, engineers, stakeholders, decision-makers, and customers see your vision and have their questions answered immediately.

What Are BIM 3D Virtual Presentations Services?

BIM 3D virtual presentations all start with a well-made 3D, 4D, or 5D BIM file. If you don’t have one already, don’t worry — our BIM experts at CAD/CAM Services can make one for you. Once the high-quality BIM is done, we can use software to create stunning 3D virtual images for your presentation.

Through a BIM file, we can create a walk-through or fly-by file that will show your building, equipment, and all machinery to scale. We can also generate a number of photorealistic pictures from the 3D BIM file.

With our help, you can highlight specific aspects of your project and create incredible graphics to use during a presentation. These 3D virtual representations can be really useful when it comes to getting stakeholder buy-in, money from investors, or excitement from future customers.

On the other hand, you can use the same visuals to show the scope and vision of the project in a room full of decision-makers and engineers. These BIM visuals can ensure everyone is on the same page before you break ground for your next project. These alignments ahead of time can save a lot of headaches during the construction project.

Why BIM 3D Virtual Presentations Services Matters

A BIM 3D virtual presentation can make or break your project. If you go with the wrong outsourced BIM engineering company, then you can waste a lot of time and money, and you’ll be left with a BIM file that’s either wrong or isn’t good enough to convince stakeholders that your plan is a good one.

These low-quality BIM engineers will cut corners at your expense, and you won’t be happy with the result.

Instead, you should trust a high-quality BIM outsourcing company like CAD/CAM Services. We’ve been creating 5D BIM files for companies just like yours for over 35 years. Our final BIM files will create perfect visuals for your presentations. Not to mention, all of our files will have more information than you could imagine. We can include specific cost and timeline details that will make your project planner’s and logistic expert’s lives a lot easier.

We’re here to help you. Our files have more information so you can get more out of every BIM file.

What Goes into BIM 3D Virtual Presentations Services from CAD/CAM Services?

Our BIM 3D virtual presentation services are designed to meet you wherever your project is currently at. We can help you whether you have no BIM files at all, or if you have a professional-grade 5D BIM file that’s ready to go. If your BIM file isn’t complete (or doesn’t exist in the first place), our team will start by building the BIM file to your specifications.

With a completed BIM file, we’ll go through a review process to make sure everything looks perfect. When we’re happy with the results, then we’ll start generating stunning visuals from the BIM model. Let us know exactly what you’d like to see, what parts to highlight, and where the important decisions are going to be made — we’ll handle the rest.

Our BIM software can quickly generate section views or pictures from any angle we set up. Once we have all of the visuals together, we’ll send them to you digitally. We use a DoD-trusted filesharing application to make sure your data stays safe and encrypted the whole time.

If you spot anything you don’t like, just let us know. It’s no problem for us to correct images or add some new visuals. Once you’re happy with everything, then you’ll pay us for our services and that’s that.

BIM FAQ

What is BIM?

BIM stands for Building Information Model, Maintenance, or Management. We typically say “Model”, since BIM is a technical model of your new or existing building. A BIM file is much more involved and detailed than a 3D CAD file, and the purpose of a BIM file is completely different. BIM files are created to help your projects in multiple aspects. BIM helps with the cost, performance, appearance, logistics, efficiency, and environmental impact of your new construction or existing facility.

What are the benefits of BIM?

A well-made BIM file can be a lifesaver for any type of company:

BIM files include valuable information that can help the day-to-day efficiency of your production facility.
Your maintenance team can use BIM to predict equipment breakdowns and avoid devastating downtime.
BIM files can keep your building up to code and help establish a paper trail for safety audits, such as audits by fire authorities.
A BIM file is a central file for all different trades to put in information. Your HVAC, electrical, mechanical, and installation crews can all work from the same file.
BIM is great for stakeholders. You can create digital walk-throughs or fly-throughs to look at virtual mock-ups of new or existing buildings.
BIM can help you spot collisions before installation. Maybe a water line is going through an area that’s supposed to be reserved for a structural beam. Spotting issues sooner means avoiding costly mistakes later.
A BIM file can also confirm that everyone is on the same page when it comes to the scope and the design of a facility. After reviews are done, you can lock in the BIM file and use it as a reference, making sure everyone has the same target.

What types of companies use BIM files?

We’ve been offering BIM services for 35+ years at CAD/CAM Services, and you’d be surprised by how many companies we’ve helped from different applications and industries. The simple answer is that there’s no cookie-cutter user for a BIM file. We’ve helped tiny machine shops, massive defense companies, plastics manufacturers, and commercial construction companies all the same.

We have a joke around our office that explains who can benefit from BIM: If your existing building or new construction project has walls, you can benefit from BIM.

Isn’t BIM just a SolidWorks drawing?

Actually, BIM is completely different from SolidWorks. In 3D CAD files, the file revolves around dimensions and material properties, and that’s it. With 3D, 4D, or 5D BIM, the file revolves around information.

Having a 3D building layout is just the first step of BIM — next, we’ll input information like equipment specs, maintenance tasks, location of critical parts, structural information, cost data, timeline impacts, and much more.

What are some common uses of BIM?

We’ve developed BIM files for companies across industries. There is not one specific use for BIM, but instead there are a ton of common uses:

Visualization
Scope Clarification
Partial Trade Coordination
Collision Detection/Avoidance
Design Validation
Construction Sequencing Planning/Phasing Plans/Logistics
Marketing Presentations
Options Analysis
Walk-throughs and Fly-throughs
Virtual Mock-Ups
Sight Line Studies

Why should I outsource my BIM projects?

BIM work takes a lot of time and previous experience to do correctly. Unless you have a dedicated BIM specialist or BIM department in-house, it will take too long to learn the idiosyncrasies of BIM. In other words, you’ll be wasting a ton of time and money on each part of your BIM file — not to mention, there’s a good chance the final BIM model will be missing a ton of information. By outsourcing to CAD/CAM Services, you will save time, save money, get more data from each file, and be able to handle bigger and more complicated BIM projects.

‍

What is 5D in BIM?

In BIM, it’s common for us to talk about 2D, 3D, 4D, and 5D files:

2D BIM is no different than a flat building layout. Example: A floor plan of a single room.
3D BIM is a building layout with wall height, and the ability to add multiple floors in a single file. Example: a multi-level hospital building.
4D BIM takes a 3D model and adds in a time component. Sometimes it’s a schedule for project managers, other times it’s a maintenance schedule for your mechanics. Example: a 4D BIM for new construction involves step-by-step project timelines plus a deadline.
‍5D BIM starts with a 4D BIM model and adds in cost. This is the most comprehensive type of BIM file. With 5D BIM, all the information you need for your new construction project can be found in one place. 5D BIM includes the costs for manhours, raw equipment, and different installation steps. Example: New construction of apartment buildings in which the cost and timeline are very important to investors.

Is BIM just for huge multi-million-dollar projects?

Another common misconception is that BIM is just for massive skyscrapers and huge manufacturing facilities. We made a BIM file for a small company’s garage warehouse, so there is certainly no limit to how big your company has to be.

BIM is for any company that operates a facility. The BIM file will include information that helps you every week by minimizing downtime, improving yield, and maximizing your efficiency. Whether you’re making hand-knitted sweaters or skyscrapers in Manhattan, BIM will help your operation.

What is a BEP?

A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is something you’ll put together before starting a project. It outlines how information is managed and shared throughout the lifecycle of your pre-construction and post-construction operation.

A BEP can specifically outline objectives, milestones, responsibilities, contacts across your supply chain, and how you’ll share information. It’s a quick way to make sure all parties are on the same page before construction starts or before you open your doors for business.
