Structural BIM works best when the engineering intent and model development stay aligned. Designs Mosaic brings structural engineering and BIM capabilities within the same wider delivery setup, so design information, Revit modeling and coordination can be reviewed together rather than treated as disconnected handoffs. STAAD.Pro and other project-appropriate analysis tools can be used where required, with Revit supporting model development and coordination.
Designs Mosaic is based in Mumbai, India, and supports structural BIM modeling and structural engineering requirements for architects, contractors and developers across the USA, Canada and Europe. The work is scoped around the project’s design inputs, client requirements, applicable standards and agreed deliverables.
For other disciplines, see our architecture services, BIM services, or the full structural engineering services overview.
There is no useful BIM coordination engagement if the project team is unclear about what it receives at the end.
Depending on your scope, our BIM coordination services can include:
Structural engineering support can cover steel and concrete systems, with other material or specialist analysis requirements reviewed during scoping. STAAD.Pro and related analysis tools are used where appropriate to the project.
Beams, columns, foundations, slabs and other agreed structural elements can be developed from the approved structural design information as part of the BIM modeling scope.
Where included in the scope, the structural model can be reviewed against architectural and MEP models through our BIM coordination and clash detection services, with coordination issues recorded for action.
Where included in scope, fabrication drawings, shop drawings and structural detailing can be developed from the coordinated project information.
Full structural design and drafting support from schematic design through construction documentation.
Where retrofit or renovation work depends on point cloud or laser scan information, the separate Scan to BIM service can be scoped alongside structural BIM work.
For fabrication drawings pulled from an already-existing model rather than one we built, our shop drawing extraction service handles that separately.
A structural model does not always need the same LOD across every element. The required Level of Development should reflect the project stage, intended model use and the information needed from each structural system.
LOD | Steel framing | Concrete and foundations | Typical use |
100 | Conceptual structural representation | Conceptual foundation and massing information | Feasibility and early concept |
200 | Approximate framing layout and member information | Approximate foundation, slab and wall information | Design development |
300 | Defined member sizes, locations and elevations | Defined dimensions and locations | Construction documentation |
350 | Coordination interfaces, openings and connection zones | Coordination interfaces, penetrations and bearing conditions | Multidisciplinary coordination |
400 | Detailed structural information for fabrication where required | Detailed reinforcement or construction information where required | Fabrication and shop drawing support |
500 | Field-verified as-built structural information | Field-verified as-built structural information | Existing conditions and future asset use |
Designs Mosaic supports structural BIM requirements from LOD 100 through LOD 500. Where a project uses different LOD requirements for different structural elements, those requirements can be agreed as part of the modeling scope.
Commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and infrastructure projects can require different structural BIM inputs. The wider Designs Mosaic portfolio includes Mumbai Metro Line-4 and Union on 24th in Austin, Texas, along with other building and infrastructure work.
Structural BIM work is developed around the project requirements, applicable design standards, client documentation requirements and agreed review process. Any jurisdiction-specific code, certification or stamping requirement should be identified during project scoping so responsibility is clear before work begins.
Structural engineering, Revit modeling and BIM coordination capabilities sit within the same wider team, which can reduce unnecessary handoffs between design information and model production.
Structural BIM models can be developed from LOD 100 through LOD 500 based on the project stage, structural system and intended model use.
Structural models can be reviewed alongside architectural and MEP information when the scope requires wider BIM coordination or clash review.
Our India-based team supports international project requirements remotely, with standards, review points and deliverables agreed as part of the project setup.
In the form of design validation, coordination, and changes, DM provides the following services:
Architectural BIM models can be scoped from LOD 100 through LOD 500 depending on the project stage, intended model use and client requirements.
Where required, architectural models can be reviewed alongside structural and MEP information so the model fits into the wider project coordination process.
Our BIM team works from India while supporting clients across the USA, Canada and Europe, with project requirements and review workflows agreed at the start.
Architectural BIM work can connect with Revit services, BIM coordination, clash detection, family creation and other related services when the project needs additional support.
Structural BIM modeling and structural engineering work is scoped per project because the effort depends on structural system complexity, required LOD, available project information and expected deliverables. We review the drawings and design brief before preparing the quotation and engagement scope.
Designs Mosaic’s portfolio includes Mumbai Metro Line-4 Design and Construction Coordination. The published project page provides the project background and the scope of the team’s design and coordination involvement.
We use both terms for the same combined offering: structural engineers who design and analyze the structure, plus a BIM team that models and coordinates it in Revit from that same design. You can also engage either half separately
Yes. Designs Mosaic can support structural engineering and structural BIM within the same wider project engagement, or the services can be scoped separately depending on the requirement.
STAAD.Pro and other project-appropriate tools can be used for structural analysis and design, with Revit supporting BIM modeling and coordination.
Yes, through scan to BIM, converting point cloud or laser scan data into an as-built structural model when existing drawings can’t be trusted.
Mumbai, India. We support projects across the USA, Canada and Europe and work with the project-specific requirements, standards and deliverables agreed for each assignment.
