BIM AND 5D PLANNING
Building Information Modelling (BIM) Services
Advanced Digital Project Delivery by EVRA Consulting
At EVRA Consulting, our Building Information Modelling (BIM) services are designed to transform how construction and engineering projects are planned, designed, coordinated, and executed. Leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies and multidisciplinary expertise, our BIM Consultants deliver precise, integrated, and data-rich models that drive informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
We support clients across the built environment sector by developing intelligent 3D models and 4D/5D simulations that enhance collaboration, reduce risk, and optimise outcomes—from early design stages through to construction, operation, and facilities management.
Technical Expertise in Industry-Leading BIM Platforms
Our BIM consultants are not only seasoned professionals in digital construction practices, but are also technically proficient across a wide range of industry-leading software platforms. We work with clients, architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure seamless integration, model accuracy, and alignment with project-specific goals.
Revit
Autodesk Revit is at the core of our BIM authoring capability. Our consultants use Revit to:
Create highly detailed architectural, structural, and MEP models
Manage design intent and discipline coordination
Generate accurate documentation, including schedules and shop drawings
Automate clash detection through coordinated model views
Revit allows us to work in both native and federated environments, enabling real-time collaboration across multiple design teams and disciplines.
AutoCAD
While AutoCAD remains a foundational tool in many engineering environments, our team uses it as a complementary platform to BIM processes:
Producing detailed 2D CAD drawings that align with BIM workflows
Interfacing legacy data into the BIM environment
Supporting model documentation and base plan generation for Revit and Navisworks integration
Our consultants understand how to transition from traditional CAD to BIM seamlessly, ensuring continuity and data integrity.
Navisworks
Autodesk Navisworks is essential for model review and project coordination. EVRA Consulting employs Navisworks for:
Clash detection and resolution
Federated model integration and simulation
Construction sequencing (4D) and visualisation
Quantity take-offs and validation
This powerful tool ensures early issue identification and improved coordination between trades, reducing costly changes during construction.
Asta Powerproject BIM
Our planning and BIM teams use Asta Powerproject’s BIM module to link project schedules directly to 3D models, allowing for:
Time-location visualisation of project progress (4D)
Accurate simulation of construction sequences
Integration of programme and design to inform site logistics and resource planning
Early detection of schedule risks through model-based reviews
This enhances the alignment of programme data with physical construction progress, giving clients deeper insight into time-based performance.
Twinmotion
We utilise Twinmotion to provide high-impact, real-time visualisations that bring BIM models to life. This enables:
Immersive walkthroughs and stakeholder engagement presentations
Client-ready visual outputs for planning applications or marketing
Rapid rendering of detailed environments using Revit and SketchUp plugins
Support for virtual design reviews and design option exploration
By enhancing visual communication, Twinmotion helps clients, investors, and users better understand the spatial and design intent of their projects.
Integrated BIM Solutions for the Project Lifecycle
EVRA Consulting delivers BIM support across all project phases, including:
Design Coordination and Model Authoring: Ensuring all disciplines work within a single federated model and that LOD (Level of Development) requirements are met.
Construction Phase BIM (4D & 5D): Linking models to programmes and cost data for more accurate forecasting, sequencing, and financial control.
Digital Handover and Asset Information Models (AIM): Preparing structured data and models to support facilities management, lifecycle costing, and operational efficiency.
Model Auditing and Validation: Verifying model compliance, clash detection, constructability, and data integrity prior to tender or construction phases.
BIM Execution Planning (BEP): Drafting and implementing project-specific BEPs to align stakeholders with BIM goals, workflows, standards, and roles.

FAQ
What is BIM and how does it benefit my project?
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital process that integrates 3D models with data to facilitate design coordination, construction planning, and asset management. BIM improves accuracy, reduces design conflicts, enhances collaboration, and enables better decision-making throughout a project’s lifecycle. EVRA Consulting uses BIM to drive efficiency, reduce risk, and deliver better project outcomes for our clients.
What software platforms does EVRA Consulting use for BIM services?
Our BIM consultants are proficient in a wide range of industry-standard software, including:
Revit – For 3D model authoring and multi-disciplinary design integration
AutoCAD – For 2D drafting, legacy coordination, and base plan generation
Navisworks – For clash detection, 4D sequencing, and federated model review
Asta Powerproject BIM – For linking schedules with models to visualise time-based progress
Twinmotion – For real-time rendering, immersive visualisation, and stakeholder presentations
We select and combine these tools based on each project’s specific goals and requirements.
How does EVRA integrate BIM into construction programmes and planning?
Through Asta Powerproject BIM, we synchronise 3D models with live construction programmes to deliver 4D planning—allowing stakeholders to visualise how the project will progress over time. This integration:
Enhances sequencing and logistics planning
Identifies potential delays early
Provides a powerful tool for site teams, planners, and clients to understand construction flow
Our BIM consultants also work closely with our project controls and planning teams to embed accurate schedule and cost data into BIM models (5D BIM), supporting informed commercial decisions.
What types of projects are suitable for BIM implementation
We deliver BIM services across all project types, including:
Commercial and residential developments
Infrastructure projects (transport, utilities, energy)
Industrial facilities and data centres
Healthcare, education, and public buildings
Whether new build, refurbishment, or complex multi-phase projects, BIM adds measurable value by improving clarity, coordination, and control.
Do you provide BIM support from design through to handover?
Yes. EVRA Consulting supports clients through the entire BIM lifecycle, including:
