Plumbing BIM Modelling Process at SmartCADD

At SmartCADD, we follow a systematic and structured approach to Plumbing BIM modelling services, ensuring seamless coordination and accurate representation of your plumbing designs. Our process consists of the following key stages:

Client Collaboration
Initiating the process by closely collaborating with clients to understand their unique project requirements, specifications, and standards.
Template and Architectural Model Verification
Utilising the “Origin to Origin” positioning method to validate the mechanical models’ coordinates with the architectural model and load the Plumbing BIM template as per the client’s specifications.
Plumbing Model Creation
Creating a comprehensive plumbing model that includes all plumbing connectors, plumbing and piping equipment such as pumps, tanks, pool filtration equipment, sump, sewage pit, grease and sand traps, and more for coordination within the central file.
Clash Detection
Using advanced software like Navisworks, we coordinate the plumbing model with other models, run clash-detection tests, and generate a clash report to identify and resolve any potential issues.
Clash Resolution and Model Finalisation
We review and resolve all clashes, reload the cache in Navisworks, ensure resolved clashes are marked in yellow, and check for any new clashes (displayed in red). Once all clashes are resolved, the final plumbing BIM model is completed and ready for further use in the project.
Delivery & Support
Throughout the entire process, our team provides ongoing support and communication, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow for our clients.

FAQS
Plumbing BIM modeling is the process of creating a detailed digital representation of the plumbing systems within a building using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. It helps architects, engineers, and contractors visualize, analyze, and coordinate the plumbing systems more efficiently.
Plumbing BIM modeling offers several benefits such as improved collaboration, clash detection, accurate design representation, and better project coordination. It allows stakeholders to detect and resolve issues before construction, reducing errors, improving efficiency, and minimizing costly rework.
Some advantages of utilizing plumbing BIM modeling services include:
  • Accurate 3D representation of plumbing systems.
  • Early clash detection to prevent design conflicts.
  • Improved coordination among different trades.
  • Enhanced visualization and understanding of plumbing systems.
  • Efficient material takeoffs and cost estimation.
  • Streamlined construction process and reduced rework.
Plumbing BIM modeling can encompass a wide range of systems, including:
  • Water supply systems (pipes, fittings, valves)
  • Drainage and sewage systems (drains, sewer pipes))
  • Ventilation systems (vent pipes, roof vents)
  • Fixtures (sinks, toilets, showers)
  • Fire suppression systems (sprinklers, fire hydrants)
  • Specialized systems (medical gas, compressed air)
Various BIM software applications are used for plumbing BIM modeling, including popular programs such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD MEP, Navisworks, and Trimble MEP. These software tools provide comprehensive features and functionalities for creating, analyzing, and coordinating plumbing systems within a building.
Plumbing BIM modeling facilitates clash detection and coordination among various trades involved in a construction project. By visualizing the plumbing systems in the context of other building elements, such as structural components, electrical systems, and HVAC, clashes or conflicts can be identified and resolved before construction, avoiding costly on-site modifications.
Yes, existing plumbing systems can be incorporated into BIM models through a process called retrofit modeling. By surveying and documenting the existing systems, professionals can create accurate as-built models that can be integrated into the BIM environment. This enables effective coordination with new construction or renovation projects.
Plumbing BIM modeling allows for clash detection and coordination among different building systems. By creating a digital representation of the plumbing systems, engineers can identify clashes or conflicts with other systems, such as electrical conduits, ductwork, or structural elements. This early detection helps prevent construction delays, rework, and costly changes on-site.
Yes, plumbing BIM models have value beyond the construction phase. They serve as a comprehensive digital record of the plumbing systems, which can be utilized for facility management, maintenance planning, renovations, and future expansions. The models provide valuable information about the layout, components, and specifications of the plumbing systems for ongoing operations.
