BIM PROCESS MANAGEMENT
BIM is a process for creating and managing all of the information on a project – before, during and after construction. The output of the BIM process is the Building Information Model, the digital description of every aspect of the built asset.
BIM for commercial properties.
There is a common misconception that BIM just means 3D design, in fact, it’s much more than that. BIM is a process for creating and managing all of the information on a project – before, during and after construction. The output of the BIM process is the Building Information Model and its a process supported by various tools, technologies involving the generation and management of the digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a built asset.
Having a survey accurate 3D model is the critical first step to the success of the project and this is where you can start achieving the benefits. A 3D scan to BIM allows for all buildings, no matter the age, to be brought into line with modern workflows. Through this process of capturing real world conditions by the laser scanner we can ensure accurate representations of all characteristics of a building, structure or service discipline. It gives architecture, engineering, and construction professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings or infrastructure.
3 steps to a successful BIM project
- Scan – point cloud is generated
- Process – point cloud is registered
- Model – output is a Revit/CAD 3D model
How can BIM help manage a built asset?
- Facilitates coordination and collaboration between the disciplines involved in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of existing buildings. The project team works on the same model, any changes are automatically coordinated.
- Time is saved, as the coordination checks are reduced or eliminated through clash detection.
- Show cost implications of design changes as they occur.
- Errors on site are significantly reduced, as information is coordinated and clash detected.
- Building service information is available for facilities management on completion of the build. The information transfer between the phases of design, construction and operation, is smoother, as each discipline adds information to the model.
- Productivity is increased, as information is retrieved faster and easily.

Rentable area survey in Christchurch for a new development
We created a rentable area survey for this new building development in Christchurch because the consent plans didn’t show the individual tenancy areas on the site. See why this is important when leasing property
Rentable area survey in Christchurch to sell a property
It makes it much easier to sell a commercial or retail property that has a current Rentable Area Survey (or BOMA) see how we helped Kennards Hire with their sale
Existing conditions and rentable area surveys for residential upgrade
Our long-term client recently purchased an historic hotel and apartments located on a key intersection in the CBD. The latest plans and leasing documentation were over 15 years old.
Rentable area surveys to discover area affecting historic changes
Our client recently purchased an historic site on the Auckland CBD fringe. Leasing documentation that changed hands at the time of purchase ranged from area estimations through to signed photocopies of irrelevant data.

This is the industry benchmark for measuring rentable areas for Retail, Industrial and Office premises that is followed precisely by the Realserve team in Auckland.
Commercial Real Estate Virtual Tours in 3D
With our expertise in reality capture, we used our Matterport 3D Camera to create an incredible virtual tour of this commercial real estate property which needed a new tenant quickly.
