Build September 2016

Build Magazine 20 eing based out of the Nungambakkam locale in the east Indian city of Chennai, BIM Global Solutions are heavily exposed to the ever-changing scenarios of the Indian construction market. As India continues to lead world tables in economic growth, the construction industry is a significant indicator of the country’s development, due to its ability to create investment opportunities that cross multiple related sectors. As such, any construction firm in India faces inherent challenges in carving out a unique presence. Fortunately, the increasing popularity of BIM construction practices still provides relatively newer firms with a foothold to propel them ahead of the competition. Seyed comments on the unique, privileged position that his company maintains in the industry. “We are a BIM Consultancy firm that is run by the Architects and Engineers. The management and the team are fully experienced in their respective fields and they extend their knowledge to the BIM services. Also, we deliver our services to the utmost client satisfaction. These set us apart from others. “We have undertaken various projects in the AEC industry. We have done Residential, Commercial, Educational, Healthcare, Hospitality and Civic buildings.” As BIM practices become more and more widespread throughout the industry, the BIM Global Solutions team have to continually find new ways of working in an environment that meets the ever- changed scenarios whilst delivering solid service to its client base. This, as Seyed explains, is achieved by a process of continually “updating and upgrading knowledge in the BIM. It is one of the fast changing world, so we make sure that our team is kept abreast with the new developments. We continue provide training on new development. We keep expanding our infrastructure to meet ever changing scenario.” In order to achieve this, BIM Global Solutions have moved beyond architectural design, laser scanning and CAD drafting services, each one a staple of BIM practitioners the world over, Seyed and his team have also begun to explore master planning as framework for the development of an entire area of communities, including residential housing and mixed-use projects. Being involved in the regeneration and sustainability of these communities is a proud achievement for Seyed, as it provides the company with unrivalled practical knowledge to back up their proposals. Holding a dear aspiration to become a one-stop solution centre for the architecture and engineering support services, Seyed examines his future business milestones. “As an engineering and architectural support service firm, the future is very bright and promising. More and more complex design and environmental requirements are arising and evolving. These designs can be analysed and studied and modified to construct only by adopting BIM and also the environmental requirements can be met by using BIM only. “We are one of the pioneers to do projects in BIM platform in India and we have been always ahead of others. Seyed proudly maintains that all of his company’s projects are completed successfully. “We dedicate ourselves to the success of each and every project received by us. The most important aspect in all of the projects is planning and managing to ensure the timely delivery of the deliverables.” Within a relatively short space of time, BIM GS has laid the foundations of an inter-continental enterprise – they currently maintain two offices in India, in addition to strategically-placed outlets in Indonesia and Dubai. With this well-establishing network covering some of the fastest-growing regions on the globe, the company’s most prestigious projects include a host of recognisable names.
