What exactly does BIM modeling encompass?

BIM modeling is more than just creating 3D drawings. It enables the digital construction of a project, complete with all its data. Every profile, connection, and detail is equipped with information to support production, assembly, and cost calculations. This ensures that the entire project is carried out in a more transparent, error-free, and integrated manner.

Do you only do steel BIM modeling, or do you also offer coordination services?

We offer both. We not only model steel structural systems, but also integrate them with architectural, mechanical, and electrical projects, and perform conflict analyses. If requested, we provide coordination services involving all disciplines.

Which software do you work with?

Our main modeling software is Tekla Structures. We also support Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, IdeaStatica, and some specialized project platforms. For file sharing, we generally prefer Trimble Connect or Google Drive.

In what formats do you deliver BIM models?

Depending on the project, we mostly deliver in IFC, DWG, PDF, NWD, NC1, Tekla .db1, and Excel (quantity surveys) formats. We can customize the output format according to the platform used by the customer.

How long does the modeling process take?

Modeling time varies depending on the size and number of disciplines involved in the project. For standard structures requiring only steel modeling, an average of 1–2 weeks is sufficient. Projects involving full BIM coordination and collision analysis can be completed in 3–5 weeks.

BIM Modeling: Going Beyond Traditional Drawings

In the construction industry, where there are so many variables, achieving flawless and integrated projects is no longer possible with just 2D drawings. At Abram Steel, we adopt the BIM (Building Information Modeling) approach, where we integrate your projects with all disciplines through a single platform.

BIM is not just about 3D modeling; it also means data management, process control, and interdisciplinary coordination. In projects where all disciplines, from architecture and electrical engineering to mechanics and steel, are brought together in the same model, conflicts are reduced, the construction process is accelerated, and costs become predictable.

Intelligent Models, Realistic Projects

BIM-generated models are not only visual but also database-driven. Each profile, connection, plate, and bolt has its own unique identifier (ID). This ID allows for the pre-determination of where and how each material will be placed during assembly.

In addition, during the project, quantity surveying, cost calculations, work schedule integration (4D), and even cost analyses (5D) can be performed using this model.

At Abram Steel, we use these intelligent models in BIM processes to offer both engineering accuracy and ease of on-site management.

Interdisciplinary Coordination: Zero Collisions with Clash Detection

One of the strongest advantages of BIM modeling is clash detection. It is critical that the steel structural system does not clash with installations, architectural elements, or reinforced concrete slabs within the project.

At Abram Steel, we use Navisworks and Tekla Structures software to conduct detailed collision analyses during the modeling process. This allows us to identify and revise potential collisions before even starting work on the construction site. This prevents rework, wasted time, and extra costs on-site.

Transparent Process, Digital Collaboration

In our BIM modeling process, every step is documented and shared with clients. File sharing is done via platforms such as Google Drive, Trimble Connect, or Autodesk Docs, revisions are tracked, and comments can be given on the same model.

Thanks to this digital collaboration, both the client and project stakeholders can access the same model simultaneously. Because the designer, manufacturer, contractor, and site manager have access to the same data, decisions are made quickly and implementation processes become clearer.

Advanced Reporting and Optimization with BIM

Abram Steel offers not only modeling but also value-added services based on these models, such as material optimization, cost analysis, and business planning.

BIM models can provide outputs such as automated quantity takeoff, steel tonnage calculation, profile optimization, and workflow planning. This prevents material waste, reduces costs, and shortens delivery times.

BIM Solutions Suitable for Every Scale and Discipline

Whether it's a small industrial building or a complex shopping mall project, Abram Steel offers BIM solutions suitable for projects of all sizes.

We provide BIM coordination services that integrate not only steel modeling but also other disciplines, ensuring the entire structure is modeled in harmony. Especially in complex projects, we create a federated model by incorporating each discipline's own model into the system.
