Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Related to Structure

We get involved at any stage of the project, from concept and design development through to construction and postconstruction phases. Early involvement helps optimize the structural design, but we can also assist with retrofitting and renovation projects.

We use industry leading software such as Revit, Tekla Structures, and Navisworks. These tools allow us to create precise models, streamline collaboration, and identify potential issues before construction begins, leading to better project outcomes.

For structural detailed design, we use advanced software like ETABS, SAFE, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, RAM, RISA, ADAPT, ENARCALC, Tekla Structural Designer, etc. These tools allow us to perform accurate structural analysis and design, ensuring compliance with codes and standards while optimizing the structure for performance and safety.

We integrate code compliance checks into our workflow, adhering to local and international standards like IS, ACI, AISC, ASCE, CBC, IBC, UBC, BS, Euro, EN, NCC. Our team stays updated on the latest regulations and ensures that all structural elements meet the required codes throughout the design process.

We conduct regular coordination meetings and use BIM tools like Navisworks, Trimble Connect etc. to integrate models from all disciplines. This enables us to identify and resolve conflicts early, ensuring that structural designs work seamlessly with MEP and architectural elements.

Our BIM process helps mitigate risks by enabling accurate simulations and analyses before construction begins. We identify potential structural issues, optimize material usage, and ensure that the design is feasible, which reduces the likelihood of delays and cost overruns.

We perform detailed structural analysis and load calculations within our BIM environment to ensure that the models reflect real-world performance. Our models are designed to meet both safety and performance criteria for the entire lifecycle of the structure.

We manage design changes efficiently using BIM, where updates to the model are made in realtime. This allows us to quickly assess the impact of changes, coordinate with other disciplines, and implement the modifications without disrupting the project timeline.

We utilize our in-house automation team along with tools like Dynamo, Grasshopper, Rhino, and Excel Macros to streamline repetitive tasks and expedite workflows. By integrating these tools into our process, we efficiently handle itemized activities, reducing time and enhancing productivity, which accelerates project delivery.

Our robust quality control procedures are designed to ensure error-free submissions. We place a strong emphasis on maintaining high standards of quality to provide seamless project deliveries, ensuring accuracy and reliability in every submission.

Intec's Business Development team actively ensures smooth project deliveries by consistently following up with both our internal team and the client. Their ongoing communication provides essential support throughout the project lifecycle, keeping clients informed and reassured every step of the way. The BD team stays in regular contact to ensure clients receive the comfort and attention they require.

 

Related to MEP

We have extensive experience in MEP BIM services, having worked on projects such as KAPSARC, KVMRT KFMC, Ajyad Hospital etc.. Our team has successfully managed complex MEP systems, ensuring seamless integration with architectural and structural elements.

Our BIM process includes initial modeling, clash detection, and regular updates. We utilize advanced software to create detailed MEP models that are continuously refined through collaboration with all stakeholders.

We conduct thorough clash detection using tools like Navisworks and Revit. Our team identifies potential conflicts early in the design phase, allowing us to resolve issues before they impact construction, which saves time and costs.

We implement strict quality control measures, including regular audits and validation checks against project specifications. Our team is trained to maintain high standards of data accuracy throughout the project lifecycle.

We use cloud-based platforms for real-time collaboration, allowing all team members to access and update the BIM model simultaneously. Regular coordination meetings ensure that everyone is aligned and informed.

Yes, we can tailor our services to meet your specific needs, whether that involves custom modeling techniques or specific reporting formats. We are flexible and can adapt as project requirements evolve.

Our BIM models are designed to be used throughout the asset's lifecycle, providing valuable data for maintenance and operations. We can integrate facilities management tools to enhance this process.

We focus on optimizing MEP designs for energy efficiency and sustainability. Our models allow for simulations that assess energy performance, helping to reduce the overall environmental impact of the building.

Integration of IoT and smart building technologies within BIM processes. This allows for better data collection and analysis, leading to improved operational efficiency and maintenance strategies.
