SketchUp to BIM Model

Overview

In the digital world, constructing a building requires sophisticated technology that combines the benefits of high-resolution designs with effective project management tools. The SketchUp application, powered by Google technology, provides an easy solution for the development of 3D models. However, it lacks the flexibility to add fine details and accurate projections. Thus, it is inevitable to transform a SketchUp design into the BIM (Building Information Modeling) format.

BIM is a high-end technology that aims at coordinating workflow across various stages of the construction project. It allows the creation of internally consistent and computable information about any building project. Providing comprehensive information about the project, it assists in planning, performance projections, cost estimates and decision making for designs.

How it Works

BIMhub™ 3Dconvert™ services simplify the task of transforming SketchUp designs into respective BIM models. The technology involves transforming SketchUp items into CAD files with the use of dedicated hardware and software tools. CAD-supported files are integrated with the BIM platform for further processing. To generate virtual prototypes of the building, a CAD design can be converted into 3D models through BIM.

Your Project

Redesigning SketchUp items into the CAD-supported format and inserting them into the BIM interface is a complex task. It requires professional expertise to perform this task with precision. Your project at BIMhubTM will be handled by experts who possess sound knowledge of CAD conversion technology.

BIM models provide the construction process with great interoperability. Once a SketchUp design is converted into the BIM model, it can be used across Windows and Mac platforms for planning and coordination. BIM models are machine comprehensible. This facilitates the automatic identification of spatial clashes in a building project. Errors and changes resulting from internal errors are eliminated at the drawing and designing levels. BIM models generate feedbacks for designers informing them of the possible effects of modifications. Data available with the BIM model can also be used to generate cost estimates, acoustics, lighting and energy analysis.

Your Edge

Using BIM model services for your building projects promote shared project development through a highly sophisticated designing process. It helps you in executing the project through:

  • Effective coordination among different departments involved in the construction lifecycle.
  • Access to information required for the identification, analysis and elimination of conflicts.
  • Pre-fabrication of various components in the designing phase.
  • Eliminating wastage of construction material thereby cutting down project costs.
  • Offering an effective solution to potential risks while the project is in the planning stage.
  • Better perception of available resources that results in better decision making.
