BluEnt’s Comprehensive BIM Services for General Contractors
At BluEnt, we provide scalable and fully customized BIM solutions for GC projects including, expansion, new builds, renovations. These include:
BIM Coordination and Clash Detection
Full federated model coordination across all trades in Navisworks, resolving structural, architectural, and MEP clashes before they reach the field. Each clash report includes resolution status, owner assignment, and revision tracking.
Revit Modeling for General Contractors
Construction-grade Revit models built to your BEP standards. We model at the LOD level your project requires, from early-stage LOD 200 for scope planning through LOD 400 for fabrication-ready geometry.
4D Construction Scheduling
We link your Revit or IFC model to your project schedule to simulate the construction sequence phase by phase. Identify conflicts between trades before mobilization and communicate timelines clearly to owners and stakeholders.
5D Cost Estimation and Quantity Takeoffs
Model-based quantity extraction tied directly to your BIM elements. Reduce estimation time, improve bid accuracy, and track cost impacts of design changes as they happen through linked 5D workflows.
Shop Drawings and Construction Documents
Coordination-approved shop drawings derived directly from the construction model. Structural steel, precast, MEP spool drawings, and concrete lift drawings generated from the same coordinated Revit or Navisworks environment.
As-Built BIM and Project Closeout
Final as-built models that reflect verified field conditions. Delivered as COBie-compliant datasets, fully attributed for handover to facilities management teams, asset tracking systems, or owner-operated CMMS platforms.
BIM Execution Planning
Project-specific BIM Execution Plans that define roles, model standards, data exchange formats, coordination milestones, and deliverable schedules. Your BEP becomes a working document.
