With you for the whole project life cycle

As the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry transitions to ever-greater use of digital technology in the design, engineering, and construction of the built environment, BIM services are gaining significant traction. AEC professionals now see BIM as an important means of improving a project’s operational and cost efficiency. These efficiencies extend across the entire project lifecycle, from design through to build and then into facilities management and maintenance. SBL’s highly-regarded BIM outsourcing services are already helping architects, surveyors, engineers and other construction professionals maximise the benefits of BIM at pace and at scale. Through greater cooperation and sharing of data across disciplines, BIM is also instrumental in improving safety standards and driving sustainability. Similarly, BIM has been adopted by the process plant engineering community: here BIM methodologies are being used strategically to maximise project lifecycle productivity and ROI. This includes the design, operations, management, and optimisation of the plant, processes, and equipment. Unfortunately, as is often the case with any major initiative BIM is not something which can be implemented overnight. This is primarily because BIM is a process, not a product; an approach, not a single solution. Software and technology play a central role in BIM but one cannot simply ‘buy a BIM’ off-the-shelf. Change on such a disruptive scale can therefore seem daunting: the high up-front costs associated with implementing BIM, both in time and money, are often cited as reasons why some businesses and organisations have delayed making a start. As a BIM outsourcing services provider, this is where we come in. In essence we help with the heavy lifting, especially in terms of ready access to the required software and skills. From the outset we help businesses avoid the most significant part of the up-front costs. Our customers still need to make the necessary process and cultural changes within their organisations. However they will avoid the large ongoing overheads associated with establishing, maintaining and scaling an in-house team of BIM technicians. We deliver to BIM Level 2 and even beyond. Our teams are capable of producing BIM models at all stages of a project. We serve global firms in both the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector as well as for process plant engineering, providing end-to-end solutions that address the common clashes and collaboration challenges typically found in construction projects. Our project managers capture the project requirements in detail to ensure accuracy and completeness in the final output. For process plant engineering, we help to resolve potential issues in advance. Our expert BIM technicians facilitate the integration, upgrading, and scaling-up for existing or new machinery. BIM modelling also extends to production lines for plant and manufacturing engineering and factory design projects.
