Structural Revit modelling and BIM coordination KAD Consulting Engineers
Coordinated structural models developed for design, documentation and multidisciplinary coordination.
Project-specific engineering input
KAD provides structural Revit modelling for projects that benefit from coordinated digital delivery. Models support the structural design, production of drawings and sections, review of interfaces and coordination with architectural and services information.
Typical applications
- Reinforced-concrete and structural-steel framing models
- Coordinated foundations, columns, walls, beams and slabs
- Model-derived sections and views
- Multidisciplinary model coordination
- Design-development change coordination
How the work is developed
The appointment is shaped around the project stage, available information, interfaces and the engineering output required.
-
Understand the project
We review the brief, architectural information, site constraints, available records and proposed construction. Missing information, assumptions and specialist inputs are identified early.
-
Coordinate the design
Structural and civil requirements are coordinated with the architect, services information, geotechnical input and wider consultant team. Revit is used where appropriate.
-
Develop practical solutions
The design considers structural performance, available materials, construction sequence, access, temporary conditions and the contractor’s ability to build the permanent works.
-
Document the work clearly
Engineering layouts, sections, details, reinforcement information and coordinated model outputs are prepared for their intended purpose.
Scope and specialist interfaces
Structural models are developed for the agreed design, documentation and coordination purpose. Model content, detail and issue requirements are defined around the project appointment and available consultant information.
KAD Consulting Engineers delivers this service as a Durban-based consulting engineering practice registered with ECSA and NHBRC.
Information that helps define the scope
- Project location, current stage and required engineering input
- Latest architectural and relevant consultant information
- Available geotechnical or existing-structure information
- Anticipated construction programme and key project constraints
