Catalyst's experience of developing models and integrating services across all disciplines enables clients to get the most out of BIM as a tool throughout the entire project lifecycle, from design and construction to operations and redevelopment.

Catalyst helps your team develop BIM standards, specifications and templates, to ensure robust integration with existing and future data and project management services. Our BIM experts show how your team can use BIM as a tool throughout the entire project lifecycle, including master planning, program analysis, project definition, design and construction, and facility management.

BIM Standards

BIM was created to be utilised throughout the entire project and lifecycle system requirements. Catalyst helps clients to use BIM effectively by assisting in developing BIM standards. Unlike CAD standards, BIM standards require knowledge of the BIM database and how it will integrate with not just your systems, but all the project systems and various database requirements. The BIM is the virtual building for the project and should be automatically integratable into all project systems within the projects team, including design specifications, Code requirements, design and construction schedules, fabrication, commissioning, security, and building monitoring.

Catalyst assists Programme Managers to utilize BIM at the beginning to assist with the project definition phase. Catalyst develops BIMs to support master planning and program analysis. This development continues into blocking and stacking diagrams and conceptual design. Using our BIM standards will ensure that the BIM database is correctly developed and established, with required updates throughout the project lifecycle.

Construction Managers use our service to ensure that the BIM follows detailed specifications to their requirements throughout the construction process. Catalyst understands the requirements of the Construction Manager in the design and building processes and can support the BIM requirements for the owner's requirements.

Model Assessment

Catalyst provides BIM peer-level review model assessments for architects, engineers builders, and owners. Our methodology leverages our continuous experience to develop model appraisal for all your needs. As an architect if you receive BIM from another designer, Catalyst has developed appraisal services which delineates the model's requirements and determines if the BIM meets your needs or if significant rework is required. We do the same for builders receiving design models, and owners receiving builder models. Catalyst's model assessment service is an efficient way to determine model adequacy and requirements, insuring successful BIM integration.
