OUR SERVICES

BUILDING DESIGN MANAGEMENT

Form and function are two elements that are present in the planning process of every project that Architude takes on. It’s easy to build something pretty, but the real challenge lies in optimising both the beauty and the functionality of newly designed structures. This service contributes to the overarching goal of the architect, who aims to improve lives through smart design.

Architude makes it possible by conducting a series of analysis in various design phases to proceed to the next design phase. The analysis aids in arriving at well grounded outcome based decisions rather than being merely predictive.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

Parametric data in a collaborative model
Collection of accurate data along the project life cycle
Predictive models
Proactive decision making

SCAN TO BIM

It is a process, ideal for brown field projects, renovations and monuments conservation.

Scan to BiM is the combination of latest scan hardware and software. The 3D laser scanning technology is used to capture the as-built environment with accuracy. The resulting Survey data which includes dimensions, materials, structural stability etc is converted into a 3D model. This model will be considered as a basis of the renovation being planned.

REVIT FAMILIES

We create Individual models of various design components such as furniture and fixtures, All the required information is injected into the model. It includes material, durability, warranty, guarantee, energy consumption, manufacturer, working manuals etc. They are parametric and can be modified according to the project requirement. These families are very handy to architects and engineers in order to incorporate in their design.

SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS

Building Information Modelling, by its virtue, ensures that the structure is sustainable in every aspect possible, Sustainability is innate to BiM tools and they ensure optimum efficiency as well as minimum consumption of resources. Hence we arrive at a trade-off between the cost of the construction and the energy savings. In addition, Architude is not only proactive in ensuring Sustainability of the built environment, but also provides easy to comprehend data through which clients can verify the factors of sustainability. We are constantly striving to bring down the cost of sustainable designs as part of our endeavour towards revamping the habitations on this planet.

GREEN RATING AND MAKEOVER

Architude provides Green building simulation models. These models will be confirmed to IGBC Green Building norms. It is more integrated and simplified than the existing methods for acquiring the rating. This holistic method makes it possible to optimise efficiency without harming the environment.

Its is also very transparent and economical option for the owner of the existing buildings if they want to get green retrofitting without structural modifications. The costs incurred in the greening of the building will be covered by the energy savings within 2 years.

WORKFORCE AUGMENTATION

Architude provides training to the workforce of the architecture and construction companies in BiM tools. BiM creates efficiency and users will get several benefits. You will realise some of the greatest value of BiM through its potential to cut down on rework, such as re-keying information into models or making changes in the field.

Since BIM is an emerging process that has started to capture the attention of the building community at large, users are eager to bank its buzz. Marketing and the ability to promote new BiM-related services are among the top benefits reported.

FACILITY MANAGEMENT

This service is inspired by the perceived importance of creating a lasting visual and functional impact on all projects that Architude works on. A Building Information Model is capable of including even the minutest details of the building, through which it facilitates the building to become very occupant friendly. The information of the building components is valid through out their life cycle. It includes, for instance, not just physical, thermal, chemical properties, but also component status, specifications, warranties, operational manuals, entity responsible for the component etc.

CLASH DETECTION

A range of clashes are the major reason behind the stalling of construction projects.

1. The geometric and elemental clashes, if not resolved during design phase, will essentially lead to cascading effects which cannot be undone.

2. The issues in design clearance needed to be addressed for the operational safety and maintenance of the facility.

3. Scheduling clashes of inter-disciplinary activities turn up to lower the efficiency of the entire construction firm.

One clash will have its cascading effect on several disciplines, and bring the on-site work to a standstill which, contractors just cannot afford.

Sooner the clash detection, the more effective the project management.

On BiM platform, clashes are rectified at an earlier stage thus saving the project from additional cost burden, time and rework.

Clash detection allows for the effective identification, inspection and reporting of interference in a 3D project model.

3D MODELS IN VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)

VR using parametric model is the latest attraction in the field of building design. One can experience the near real feel of the built environment. It is not limited to just Visual analysis, rather design modification can be made instantly.

It enables designers to easily jump into a 1:1, true to scale VR version of their 3D model. This instantly communicates the design intent to everyone and can save hours of time during a design review. Additionally, VR provides on-the-spot feedback to designers as they iterate through spatial ideas.
