Modelling, Sequencing & Costs

BIM Modelling, Construction Sequencing and Cost Planning

AIMIS Solutions provides specialist BIM modelling services and construction sequencing company to support the planning, design, construction and operation of built assets. As a trusted provider of BIM modelling services in the UK, we deliver coordinated, informative models that help project teams reduce risk, improve certainty and make better decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

From early-stage surveys and design development to construction sequencing, cost planning and asset management, AIMIS acts as an experienced construction sequencing company and BIM partner, supporting projects of all sizes and complexities.

What Is BIM Modelling?

BIM modelling is the process of creating and managing digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of built assets. These models combine geometry with structured data, enabling stakeholders to visualise, analyse and manage a project before, during and after construction.

Effective BIM models contain co-ordinated multi-disciplinary information, support analysis and aid with sequencing, costing and asset management. Professional BIM modelling services ensure this information is accurate, structured and aligned with project requirements and industry standards.

Avoid clashes with construction sequencing

We help project teams coordinate their digital information using a variety of software to ensure a well-coordinated design is developed prior to construction starting. Early engagement with AIMIS will ensure an approach focused on avoidance rather than correction, i.e. clash detection, which importantly saves time over the project lifecycle.

If your project is further along into the design development process, we can help by developing a robust clash detection strategy to prioritise resolution aligned with programme to build.

Our coordination services include:

  • Clash avoidance strategies
  • Clash detection and reporting
  • Clash resolution
  • Model validation and compliance checks
  • Identification of scope gaps and missing information

AIMIS can support with a wide range of technology and software. Our team includes qualified Structural Engineers, MEP Engineers and Architectural Technicians who fully understand current UK and international BIM standards including those of OpenBIM and BuildingSMART.

Our BIM Modelling Services

3D Models

Our 3D models are developed using multiple data sources, including:

  • 2D drawings
  • Point cloud and laser scan surveys
  • Asset and specification data

These models provide a coordinated digital representation of the design, supporting design development, coordination and client approvals.

4D BIM Modelling – Construction Sequencing

As an experienced construction sequencing company, AIMIS develops 4D BIM models by linking 3D geometry to programme tasks.

This enables project teams to:

  • Visualise the build sequence
  • Identify programme and logistics risks
  • Improve construction planning and site safety
  • Communicate sequencing clearly to stakeholders

4D modelling supports proactive decision-making and risk mitigation before construction begins.

5D BIM Modelling – Cost Planning & Analysis

Our 5D BIM modelling services integrate time and cost data with the model to support:

  • Cost planning and estimating
  • Budget tracking and change management
  • Improved forecasting and financial control

By visualising cost and programme together, 5D BIM improves accuracy and transparency throughout the project lifecycle.

6D BIM Modelling – Facilities & Asset Management

AIMIS develops 6D models to support the transition from project delivery to operation.

From Project Information Models (PIM) we create Asset Information Models (AIM) containing structured, validated data suitable for:

  • Facilities management systems
  • Asset management platforms
  • Long-term operational planning

This ensures asset owners receive accurate, usable data at handover.

FAQs

What are BIM modelling services?

BIM modelling services involve creating coordinated digital models that combine geometry and data to support design, construction and asset management.

What is the importance of BIM modelling?

Effective BIM modelling is critical to modern project delivery. Without structured modelling and coordination, projects face increased risk of:

  • Design clashes and coordination issues
  • Cost overruns and programme delays
  • Poor data quality at handover
  • Inefficient facilities and asset management

By engaging an experienced BIM modelling services UK provider like AIMIS, organisations can ensure their models deliver real value, not just visual output.

What is the process for BIM modelling?

A typical engagement with AIMIS follows a clear, structured process:

  1. Initial consultation – understanding project scope, requirements and BIM maturity
  2. Data input review – assessment of drawings, surveys, specifications and information requirements
  3. Modelling strategy – defining modelling scope, standards and deliverables
  4. Model development – creation of coordinated 3D–6D models
  5. Review & coordination – clash detection, validation and stakeholder reviews
  6. Final delivery – issue of models and associated data aligned with project milestones

This ensures transparency, quality and consistency at every stage.

Do you provide BIM modelling services across the UK?

Yes, AIMIS delivers BIM modelling services UK-wide.

Can you support construction sequencing?

Yes, we provide 4D BIM modelling and are an experienced construction sequencing company.

Can you work with existing models and data?

Absolutely. We can develop new models or work with existing project information.

Is BIM modelling suitable for small projects?

Yes, BIM modelling can be scaled to suit projects of any size. In fact, when starting on your BIM journey, we’d recommend you start on a simpler project to learn the basics before aligning across other projects in your portfolio.
