3D Modeling and Shop Drawings

Architectural

The 3-D model offers a better perspective through a virtual image. Visualization begins at a central hub and everyone accesses the same on the online platform. They can communicate with each other regarding further development and advancement. In case a segment of a design is changed to accommodate a missed component, the same is projected to everyone online. It supports timelines of scheduled phase keeping all vendors in the loop.

Our expert team offers the following services under one roof:
2D CAD draftingin .dwg format or as requested by the client. It also has annotations, correct dimensions, layering and standard format related to the scope of work.
3D Modeling capabilitiesCreation of accurate models as developed by scope of work. Details include elevations, roofing, walls and doors.
4D & 5D Renderings These advanced tools ensure there are no clash detections. All information related to construction time and installations are designed. With advanced 5 D, estimates, financial requirements and design intent is revealed.

Tech Pennar offers these services for projects that require retrofits, new buildings, and renovation projects. You can outsource our skilled team for:
  • Getting the latest resources related to construction, engineering and modelling.
  • Qualified and expert staff to handle intricate details at every stage. They work at a global level.
  • Client can handle the project independently after the designs are created.
  • Our customized services are flexible and available until completion of the project.

Structural

Tech Pennar offers collaborative experience, organized programs and team. We develop the design and provide detailed structural services. Our team strategy takes into account interoperability and resources with the design environment. The processes are managed by integrating the latest technologies to create the optimal prototype. The structural documentation is improvised to ensure that the fabrication is rendered correctly. The team creates the probable future milestones that include:

  • Planning and scheduling for 4 D to match the delivery process.
  • Rebar modelling and detailing presentations.
  • Estimates and costs are done via 5 D models.
  • Detailed drawings are done for shelf angles, josts, roofs, stairs, partitions, frames and lintels. It includes a review of all shop drawings too.

To improve productivity, we add metal fabricators with the development of 2D and 3D CAD models. It is useful for all metal related claddings and enclosures. In the same manner steel detailing is also done. We use REVIT and Tekla to create error-free models.

MEP

All projects with respect to MEP depend on the accuracy and details presented by BIM enablers. Virtual sharing saves time and discussions are held in real time during the pre-production stage. While creating the proposed prototype, surrounding environment of the site is also deliberated. This system is capable of gathering all resources on a common platform for each department, professionals and vendors. The latest software features offer advantages of BIM in construction cycle with the least human error. As a critical team work enabler, it is an ideal reference point throughout the project cycle. There is no need for everyone to physically be present to discuss progressive stages.


As per the design and fabrication we can create the following systems with REVIT, NAVIS works and FABmep:
  • Mechanical- HAVC equipment, cooling tower and ducting
  • Electrical – Panels, Switchboards, elevators, cable trays
  • Plumbing – Sewage pit, grease, pool filtration equipment, pumps and traps
  • Fire safety – Sprinklers, fire shutter tanks, smoke curtains and piping
  • External elements – building exteriors, rooftops

They are supported by further development of:
  • MEP content creation
  • 4D & 5D BIM
  • Fabrication and shop drawings

Construction Shop Drawings

For each project our team prepares a coordinated version for asset management and estimations through complex BIM features. We use the following technologies to develop construction shop drawings:


CAD Tools
  • Tekla
  • SDS/2
  • Autodesk
  • Revit Suite (MEP, Architecture, Structure)
  • Metal building software (MBS)
  • AutoCAD,
  • X-Steel
  • STADD Pro
  • 3-D Max Studio
  • Microstation
  • Naviswork
  • Rebar CAD

Currently, expensive infrastructural real estate projects depend on the outlines designed by sophisticated BIM services provided by our engineering experts. Making a comprehensive and virtual database for a complex blueprint enhances the operations. With the virtual design architects, contractors, vendors, special suppliers, labour are all connected. There are no geographical barriers as all have the design or model on their systems. Discussions can be done without everyone meeting physically. The entire system is a huge time saver and encourages productivity. Each person can share the details, changes and upgraded versions on a single platform. The update progress sheet is also accessible on the smartphone device.


We offer the facility of shop drawings for following requirements with diagrams for:
  • Architectural
  • Mechanical
  • Structural
  • HVAC Ducts
  • Plumbing and Piping
  • MEP
 

Clash Detection and Resolution

By implementing BIM in construction each project establishes a ‘no-clash’ policy. If a section of rendering hit practical problems, solutions are readily available with the Tech Pennar experts. Each professional accesses the building information model to make modifications and implement the recalibrated design. The clashes are averted because each person takes an informed decision, with the virtual model.

  • Clash detection and Resolution is one of the major and critical services provided by Tech Pennar for global clients. The biggest advantages are:
  • Identification and inspection related to clash or interference regarding the project at the BIM stage.
  • Reduces human errors onsite, design faults and relieves any issues with finances.
  • Accelerates efficient process of activity when project rolls forward.
  • It offers lead time for equipment, raw material requirement.
Our solutions are preferred by clients as we offer:
  • Clients to resolve clashes by timely detection. The issues related to architectural, structural, plumbing, electrical or mechanical reasons are quickly taken care of with technology tools.
  • Quick turnaround time resolutions ensure projects timelines are not disturbed.
  • Clash detection and resolutions are useful for all stakeholders related to real estate projects.
  • We have experience in detecting clashes for large infra-projects like railways, bridges, public buildings, industrial hubs, residential complexes and commercial spaces.

Construction Simulation – 4D

In order to avoid any conflicts that arise out of complex designs, Tech Pennar offers its virtual resources for construction Simulation in 4 D. It is of great assistance to sub contractors, architects, project engineers and anyone who is a part of this supply chain. We make a detailed progress which help in logistics and resource allocation. The prototype brings realization of these infra-projects within timelines. Developers have seen improved productivity levels after commencement of on-site activities. In fact, they can scale the project with modular supply chain. As a critical team work enabler, it is an ideal reference point throughout the project cycle. There is no need for everyone to physically be present to discuss progressive stages.

Our construction simulation 4D model enhances:
  • Visual validation of the BIM
  • Construction videos are created for phasing charts and preparation of sequence of models.
  • We convert PDF files and hand sketches into BIM with REVIT
  • Clash reports are prepared in Navisworks for clashes in the workflow
