BIM Construction & Site Support Services
Renaid BIM Services supports construction teams and project partners with selected BIM-related documentation and coordination tasks. We agree the scope and required outputs around project needs, available model information, and the responsibilities of the project team.
Overview
Connect model information with construction needs
Construction-stage BIM requirements can include reviewing model information, preparing documentation, supporting quantity-related workflows, and updating records of existing or completed work. We can discuss the tasks that fit your project and the information available.

Link the schedule to the model
Move the status date. Elements appear as their activities start, and finished work turns solid. Select an activity to highlight its elements and filter the quantity extract.
| Activity | Element | Qty | Unit | Measurement rule |

Sample schedule and quantities for illustration. Quantities should be reviewed by the responsible project professional before being used for procurement or commercial decisions.

Cost over time: the S-curve
Linking quantities and rates to the schedule produces a planned cost curve. Move the status date to read cumulative and weekly planned values, and see which activities are spending.
| Activity | Budget | Planned to date | Spending this week |

Sample values in budget units for illustration. Cost data and rates come from your estimator.
Support areas
What we can support during construction
01Construction documentation
Support agreed drawing and documentation tasks derived from the relevant model and project information.
02Quantity takeoff support
Assist with quantity extraction or schedules from suitable model information where the scope, measurement rules, and required level of accuracy are clearly defined. Quantities should be reviewed by the responsible project professional before being used for procurement or commercial decisions.
03Model review and coordination assistance
Review selected model elements or information against agreed criteria and document observations for the project team.
04As-built BIM documentation
Support model updates or documentation reflecting supplied site records, redlines, survey data, or other verified inputs.
05Construction planning and 4D-related support
Discuss model preparation or information support for construction planning workflows where the project brief and available tools define a suitable scope.
06Site coordination information
Help organize agreed model views, documentation, and issue information to support communication between relevant project participants.
FAQ
Can BIM models be used for quantity takeoffs?
They can support quantity workflows when model content, measurement rules, classification, and exclusions are defined. Quantities should be checked by the responsible estimator or project professional.
Can you update a model from site markups?
We can review supplied markups, site records, and other inputs to determine the appropriate update scope. The reliability of updates depends on the quality and completeness of the information provided.
Do you provide on-site supervision?
This page describes BIM-related construction and documentation support. Any physical site attendance or site supervision must be discussed and explicitly agreed; it should not be assumed to be included.
Can you support coordination reviews?
We can discuss model review and coordination-related tasks within an agreed scope, including how observations are documented and handed back to the project team.
Quick answer
What is construction BIM support?
Construction BIM support uses model information during the build: preparing construction documentation, extracting quantities, reviewing models for coordination issues, linking the model to the schedule (4D) or to cost (5D), and updating as-built records from verified site information. Quantities and as-built updates should be checked by the responsible project professional before use.

Construction BIM for US and European contractors
Project conventions differ between markets. Share your requirements and we align deliverables with them during scoping.
US projectsQuantities to your measurement conventions (for example CSI MasterFormat organization where requested) and as-built documentation for closeout.
UK and European projectsQuantities to the measurement rules you specify (for example NRM-based structures in the UK) and as-built information for handover requirements.
More questions
Construction BIM FAQ
What is 4D BIM?
4D BIM links model elements to the construction schedule so the sequence can be reviewed visually over time. It depends on a suitable model breakdown and a schedule with matching activities.
What is 5D BIM?
5D BIM connects model quantities to cost information so planned cost can be reviewed against the schedule. Rates and cost data come from the project’s estimator.
Can you prepare as-built models for handover?
We can update models and documentation from supplied redlines, site records or survey data. Reliability depends on the quality and completeness of those inputs.
