A Full Spectrum of BIM Services
CMLC Consulting, LLC is not a one-size-fits-all firm. They tailor BIM solutions based on your project's size, scope, and goals—offering services that support every stage from concept to closeout. Their integrated approach allows for seamless collaboration between architects, engineers, contractors, and owners.
Here’s a closer look at their key service areas:
1. Architectural BIM Modeling
Architectural modeling is the foundation of a well-coordinated BIM project. CMLC creates 3D architectural models in Revit and other leading tools that mirror the design intent with precise detail. These models help teams visualize the project early, identify design issues, and generate construction-ready documents.
Key Offerings:
-
Revit 3D modeling from 2D CAD or paper drawings
-
Creation of construction-ready architectural documents
-
Visual renderings to aid design presentations
-
Conversion of hand sketches and drafts into detailed BIM files
By digitizing and detailing architectural elements early in the process, CMLC helps eliminate miscommunication and supports better decision-making.
2. Structural BIM Services
The integrity of a structure starts with a solid model. CMLC’s structural BIM services provide engineers and contractors with precise models that account for design loads, code compliance, and construction methods.
Key Deliverables:
-
Detailed structural models and construction documents
-
Clash detection with architectural and MEP elements
-
Accurate rebar modeling and foundation layouts
-
Shop drawings for fabrication
With structural modeling built into the BIM workflow, teams can avoid costly redesigns and reduce installation issues during construction.
3. MEP BIM Coordination
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems are among the most complex and clash-prone areas in a building. CMLC excels in MEP coordination, helping contractors model, detect, and resolve inter-system conflicts before materials hit the job site.
Services Include:
-
3D BIM modeling of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems
-
Coordinated MEP layout with structural and architectural components
-
Clash detection and resolution using Navisworks or equivalent platforms
-
Material takeoffs and MEP estimating support
With CMLC’s MEP BIM services, you can ensure smoother installation, better system performance, and fewer delays during construction.
4. Scan to BIM Services
When working with existing buildings or infrastructure, CMLC provides Scan to BIM services to deliver accurate as-built models. This is essential for renovations, retrofits, and historic preservation.
Solutions Offered:
-
Conversion of point cloud data to Revit models
-
Scan-to-CAD and Scan-to-IFC workflows
-
As-built documentation for facility management
-
Laser scanning data integration for large or complex facilities
This technology captures true site conditions, helping teams design with certainty and avoid surprises during demolition or retrofitting.
5. Clash Detection and BIM Coordination
Clashes in design or documentation often cause major cost overruns. CMLC takes a proactive approach with clash detection and BIM coordination to resolve problems early—before construction begins.
Features:
-
Multi-trade model integration
-
Automated clash detection between MEP, architectural, and structural components
-
Clash reports and resolution tracking
-
Regular coordination meetings to align all stakeholders
CMLC’s coordination service ensures that all trades are working from a unified, conflict-free model, which drastically reduces change orders and rework.
6. Preconstruction Support & Quantity Takeoffs
Cost control starts in preconstruction. CMLC provides accurate quantity takeoffs and cost estimation for MEP systems to assist with early budgeting, procurement, and planning.
Key Benefits:
-
Early-stage budget control and forecasting
-
Reduced risk of material over/under-ordering
-
Integrated models tied directly to quantities
-
Support for contractors and estimators
By combining modeling and estimating, CMLC helps clients build a more predictable and financially stable project from the start.
