BIM design (Revit)
A 3D model of all electrical systems — clashes are found in the design, not on site.
Scope
What the design covers
- Revit model of the electrical discipline: LV switchboards (size, level, code), cable trays, ladders and conduits, general, emergency and escape lighting with power and circuit parameters
- UPS, generator, ATS, transformer — as devices with power; earthing and lightning protection as the main routes
- ELV in a separate workset or file: fire alarm, voice alarm, intruder alarm, access control, CCTV, racks — with a containment separation rule
- Openings and reservations for structure and mechanical — clash: slab–tray, shaft–duct, switchroom–structure
- Working on the architect's coordination model (linked, not copied) and on the project CDE: Autodesk Docs / BIM 360 or the client's platform
- Electrical BEP: the client's Revit version, shared coordinates, file and workset naming, LOD per stage, clash schedule
- Clash report (Navisworks / Revit): number, view, discipline, status — only clashes that cost money on site
- Schedules from model parameters: luminaires, switchboards, containment lengths — for bills of quantities and tender
- Issue: PDF sheets from the model, DWG plans, discipline IFC; RVT where the contract provides for it
- Conventional documentation outside the model: single-line diagrams, calculations, DSO connection conditions, expert approvals
Why Eko Elprom
What the client gains
Containment, switchrooms and shafts checked against structure and ventilation in the model — not while cutting the slab.
A model when the architecture is in Revit or the building cannot afford clashes (airport, data centre, hospital). DSO networks and simple revisions — in 2D, no surcharge for modelling families.
Old Market Square in Poznań — documentation entirely in BIM with a CDE platform; the same cycle runs on the Wrocław terminal and CMGO at Kraków Airport.
They receive PDF, DWG and IFC. Unrestricted licences and the designer's liability stay with the person, not the model.
Process
From first sketch to handover
One lead designer at every stage. Cross-discipline coordination, approvals with distribution system operators and utilities, presence on site.
BEP and start-up model
Revit version, CDE, naming, LOD and shared base point agreed at the start.
Building permit model
LOD 300: main routes, switchboards, luminaires with loads; coordination with architecture and structure.
Detailed design model
LOD 350: routes with fill, devices with parameters, openings; clash reports.
Issues and supervision
PDF sheets, DWG and IFC from the model, updates for site changes.
