BIM Sub-Services for Alaska Construction Projects
Eleven BIM disciplines and deliverables, each modeled and coordinated to the level of development your project phase requires.
CORE-01 · Architectural
We build architectural BIM models in Revit that carry floor plans, elevations, sections, and finish schedules as one connected data set instead of separate drawing sheets. For Alaska projects, that means wall assemblies, insulation values, and envelope details are modeled to reflect the state's cold-climate energy requirements from the earliest design phase, giving architects and contractors a model that stays accurate as design decisions evolve through permitting and construction documentation.
CORE-02 · Structural
Our structural BIM models capture framing, foundations, and connections at the level of development your engineer specifies, built to reflect Alaska's Seismic Design Category D2 loading, deep frost-line footings, and site-specific snow loads. Structural models are coordinated directly against architectural and MEP models, so beam depths, column locations, and foundation elevations stay consistent from schematic design through fabrication-ready detailing.
- Seismic D2
- Frost Line
- LOD 350
CORE-03 · MEP
We model mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in a single coordinated environment, routing ductwork, piping, and conduit against structural and architectural constraints before installation begins. On Alaska projects with a compressed construction season, catching a duct-to-beam or pipe-to-wall clash in the model, rather than in the field, protects a shipping and installation schedule that often has no room for a second attempt.
- Ductwork
- Piping
- Clash Check
CORE-04 · Revit
As a Revit-based BIM provider, we build architectural, structural, and MEP models, custom Revit families, and parametric content tailored to your firm's standards and Alaska project requirements. Whether you need a full model built from scratch, an existing model cleaned up and standardized, or ongoing Revit modeling support through construction administration, our team works inside your existing project files and naming conventions.
- Families
- Templates
- Parameters
CORE-05 · Coordination
We federate architectural, structural, and MEP models in Navisworks and run systematic clash detection across every discipline pairing, logging and tracking each conflict until it's resolved. For Alaska projects, this coordination step is where seismic bracing, frost-protected piping, and cold-climate ventilation requirements get reconciled across disciplines before drawings are issued, catching problems while a fix still costs minutes instead of a field change order.
- Navisworks
- Clash Reports
- Federation
CORE-06 · Scan to BIM
We convert point cloud data from laser scans into accurate, coordinated Revit models for existing Alaska buildings undergoing renovation, addition, or historic preservation. Scan-to-BIM is especially valuable for older Alaska structures where original drawings may not reflect current as-built conditions, giving design teams a reliable model to design against instead of relying on field measurements alone.

- As-Built
- LOD 200-300
CORE-07 · 4D BIM
4D BIM Construction Sequencing Alaska
We link your coordinated BIM model to a construction schedule, giving contractors a visual sequence of how a project will be built phase by phase. For Alaska projects working around a short construction season, ice-road access windows, or barge delivery schedules, 4D sequencing helps teams plan crew and material logistics around the calendar constraints that matter most.

- Phasing

CORE-08 · 5D BIM
5D BIM Quantity Takeoff & Cost Estimation Alaska
We extract accurate material quantities directly from the coordinated BIM model to support cost estimating, budgeting, and procurement decisions. On Alaska projects where freight cost often outweighs material cost, model-based quantity takeoffs help contractors and owners plan shipments more precisely and avoid over-ordering materials that are expensive to return or store.
- Quantities
- Takeoff
- Estimating
CORE-09 · As-Built
We build as-built BIM models that document existing conditions for Alaska buildings undergoing renovation, tenant improvement, or facility management planning. These models can be developed from field measurements, scan data, or existing drawings, and give facility owners and design teams an accurate digital record of a building as it actually exists today, not as originally designed.
- Existing Conditions
- Renovations
- FM
CORE-10 · Conversion
We convert 2D CAD drawings, PDFs, and legacy AutoCAD files into fully coordinated 3D Revit models, giving Alaska design and construction teams the benefits of BIM workflows without redrawing a project from scratch. This is a common entry point for firms with an existing library of 2D drawings who want to move a specific project into BIM for coordination or visualization purposes.
CORE-11 · Fabrication
We extract fabrication-ready shop drawings directly from the coordinated BIM model at LOD 400, giving steel, MEP, and precast fabricators dimensionally accurate drawings pulled from the same model used for design coordination. Because the shop drawings originate from a clash-checked model, fabricators working on Alaska projects receive drawing sets that already reflect resolved coordination issues rather than a separate, disconnected detailing effort.
