BIM Services for Electrical Contractors

Through constructability analysis, we review:

• Adequacy of space for installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment.
• Adherence to codes for bend radius and cable heights as applicable.
• Clearance between HV and ELV services.
• Placement of items with Critical Dimensions.

Through constructability analysis, we review:

• Identification and resolution of interference between various building systems.

• Review and re-imagination of the layout to produce the most efficient design and achieve the minimum project cost at maximum operational efficiency.

• Detailed shop drawings to facilitate fabrication and site installation, generated automatically from the 3D model.
• Any changes to the model are automatically reflected within the shop drawings.

Standard 2D Deliverable includes:

• Power Layout and shop drawings
• Lighting Layout and shop drawings
• Sleeve Drawings
• Conduit Spool and Prefabrication drawings
• Insert Drawings
• Security, Communication, and Fire Alarm drawings
• Single-line diagram / Riser Drawings
• Trimble Layout

Typical inclusions in our Electrical Drawings:

• Tags and legends of equipment for easy identification and traceability
• Ratings and dimensions in accordance with the Manufacturer’s Catalogue/Cut sheet
• Network loops and circuit reference
• Positions with reference to the nearest grid lines
• Mounting heights as per the applicable code
• Marking Elevation of services (up/down) as applicable
• Installation & Access clearance in line with the required code
• Feeder schedule

• Precise material quantities of all equipment, fixtures, and conduits details in a tabulated format generated from coordinated 3D BIM models to help contractors in estimating project costs and plan material procurement.
• Quantity Take Off is dynamically generated from the BIM Model. This list is automatically updated if changes are made to the existing 3D Model.

• Parametric families that contain all real-world product information necessary for running calculation analysis and simulations.

• Load Flow Analysis & Phase Balancing
• Short Circuit Analysis
• Schedules and Sizing for Equipment and Services
• Voltage Drop
• Illumination Calculation
• Energy Analysis
• Lighting Control Design
• Fire Alarm Layout
• Single Line Diagram

BIM enhances the design of electrical systems by providing accurate 3D models and data. Electrical contractors can use these tools to optimize layouts, ensuring compliance with regulations and integrating seamlessly with the building’s architecture and other trades, resulting in higher quality and performance.

BIM provides electrical contractors with a comprehensive digital twin of the building project. This detailed model aids in precise planning, efficient materials management, and effective collaboration with other trades, ultimately leading to reduced costs and construction time.

With the help of clash detection potential conflicts between the electrical system and other building components can be identified and resolved in time. With this approach electrical contractors can fix issues early, preventing costly rework and delays during construction, ensuring a smoother project execution.

Pinnacle Infotech ensures value with Electrical BIM Services by delivering accurate 3D models, optimizing electrical system design, and ensuring efficient clash detection. This improves coordination with other trades, reduces errors and rework, and results in cost-effective, high-quality construction projects. This goes a distance to help electrical contractors and stakeholders with achieving success with their projects.
