A project moves forward, deadlines get compressed, coordination takes longer than expected, or your internal BIM team simply has more work than it can reasonably handle. Hiring for every increase in workload is not always practical either.
Designs Mosaic provides BIM outsourcing services for architecture, engineering and construction teams that need additional technical capacity without building a larger permanent team. Our wider BIM services cover modeling, coordination, MEP, clash detection, Scan to BIM and other project requirements.
Our BIM team is based in India and works with clients across the USA, Canada and Europe. We support individual project requirements as well as ongoing BIM production work, depending on how your team prefers to operate.
You keep control of the project, standards and decisions. We take on the BIM work that is consuming your team’s time.
Firms outsource BIM for different reasons, and cost is only one of them.
Sometimes the issue is capacity. An architect or engineering firm may have the design expertise internally but not enough BIM resources to keep modeling and documentation moving at the required pace.
Contractors may need extra coordination support, while BIM managers may need a production team that can work inside an existing Revit setup rather than introducing another process.
Designs Mosaic works as an additional BIM resource. We review the project information, understand how your team wants the work handled and plan production around those requirements, with the aim of taking defined BIM work off your internal team.
Not every client outsources BIM in the same way.
Some send us a complete modeling package. Others need support for only one discipline or one part of a project. We can also work with existing models where the project is already underway.
Our BIM outsourcing capabilities include:
We develop BIM models from PDFs, CAD files, design drawings, sketches, project information and other approved inputs. Our BIM modeling services support Civil, Structural, Architectural and MEP requirements from LOD 100 through LOD 500, based on the scope, project stage and modeling standards agreed at the beginning of the assignment.
Architectural teams can outsource modeling, drawing development, model updates and documentation while continuing to manage design decisions internally.
Structural BIM outsourcing can include model development, drawing support and coordination with other disciplines for building and infrastructure projects. For requirements extending beyond BIM production, Designs Mosaic also provides structural design and drafting services.
Civil BIM requirements can be outsourced as part of a wider building or infrastructure scope. The exact model content and LOD are defined around the available civil information and intended project use.
Our MEP BIM services cover modeling and drafting for HVAC, electrical and plumbing requirements, along with coordination and related documentation.
Our BIM coordination services help project teams review different disciplines together, identify coordination concerns and update models based on the agreed resolution.
Through our BIM clash detection services, the team reviews models for relevant conflicts and prepares information that can be used by the project team to resolve them.
Our Scan to BIM services are particularly useful for renovation, retrofit, existing building documentation and projects where reliable as-built information is required before further design work begins.
The scope may include floor plans, structural elevations, fabrication drawings, MEP drawings and other project-specific drawing requirements. More detail is available on our shop drawing extraction services page.
For teams already working in Revit, Designs Mosaic can support modeling, documentation, model updates and related production work through our Revit services. Where a project also requires custom BIM content, our team provides Revit family creation services for architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other project components.
Consistency is one of the main concerns firms have about BIM outsourcing.
If an outsourced team uses different templates, naming conventions or modeling practices, the internal team can end up spending time cleaning the work afterward.
Before production begins, we review the information available from your team. This can include Revit templates, model structure, naming conventions, drawing standards, required deliverables, milestones and client instructions.
Where a BIM Execution Plan or project-specific standard already exists, the team can work within those requirements.
Designs Mosaic operates from India and provides outsourced BIM and Revit support to clients across the USA, Canada and Europe.
Remote model reviews, drawing packages, comments and project updates are normal parts of the working arrangement.
An assigned point of contact can help keep communication and reviews organized across project stages.
For different time zones, the working arrangement and review schedule can be agreed at project setup so handoffs do not become a bottleneck.
Client BIM standards, drawing conventions and project-specific requirements are reviewed before production starts.
There is no need to make the onboarding process more complicated than the actual BIM work.
Share the drawings, models, point cloud files, BIM standards or other project information that is currently available. At this stage, we mainly want to understand what needs to be produced, what information already exists and where our team fits into your workflow.
Our team reviews the files and discusses any technical questions before the work begins. The scope, expected outputs, project milestones and delivery requirements are agreed during this stage. Where confidentiality is required, non-disclosure agreements can be completed as part of project initiation.
You have a defined point of contact instead of having to chase individual modelers for updates. The coordinator manages communication with the production team and helps keep reviews, comments and delivery dates organized.
The team develops the required models, drawings or coordination outputs based on the information and standards agreed for the project. For ongoing engagements, work can continue through planned batches or project stages rather than being treated as a new assignment every time.
BIM work usually involves review. Comments from your architects, engineers, BIM managers or project stakeholders are incorporated into the next update based on the agreed project process.
Completed models, drawings and associated project files are issued in the formats defined for the assignment. The exact handover depends on what you asked us to produce in the first place.
The value of outsourcing is not simply a lower hourly cost. It comes from adding useful capacity without creating constant correction, follow-up or supervision for the internal team.
For some firms, that means extra modeling capacity during a busy period. For others, it means ongoing BIM support without recruiting a larger permanent team.
Your team remains responsible for project direction, design decisions and approvals. Designs Mosaic provides the BIM production and technical support defined within the agreed scope.
Regular communication, review points and clear responsibility between both teams help keep the outsourced work connected to the wider project.
Designs Mosaic works across BIM, architectural, structural and engineering disciplines rather than operating only as a drafting resource.
The wider BIM capability includes modeling, coordination, MEP BIM, Scan to BIM, clash detection, model auditing, Revit services, shop drawing extraction and related project support.
You can view examples of the wider company work in the Designs Mosaic project portfolio, which includes project experience in the United States, including Austin and Dallas, Texas.
For BIM outsourcing clients, that broader architectural and engineering background can be useful when the assignment extends beyond basic model production.
If your internal team has enough work already, adding another BIM package to the queue is probably not going to make the next deadline any easier.
Send us the project information you have.
It can be a complete BIM scope or simply the part of the project where you need additional support. Our team can review the requirement, identify what we can take on and discuss a practical way to work with your existing team.
Yes. You do not need to outsource an entire project. Clients can engage Designs Mosaic for specific disciplines, project stages or BIM tasks based on the resources they need.
Yes. Designs Mosaic works from India and provides BIM outsourcing and Revit support for architecture, engineering and construction firms working in the United States.
Our portfolio also includes project experience in locations such as Austin and Dallas, Texas.
Confidentiality requirements can be addressed during project initiation, including execution of non-disclosure agreements where required.
You may already know exactly what you want to outsource. Or you may simply know that your internal BIM team has reached capacity.
Either is fine. Share the project, current files and the work you need help with. We can review it with you and determine where our BIM team can realistically take work off your hands.
