Expedite recognise that BIM goes beyond having the ability to set up a 3D model in which to extract design information. We understand that BIM focuses on collaboration, the sharing & co-ordination of ideas that allows a design to develop into cost effective and practical project delivery. This process of collaboration extends past the physical construction of a project and stretches throughout the buildings life cycle.

Delivering projects using BIM is one of our main focuses and we are confident that offering clients an opportunity to experience the efficiency and quality we can provide in a competitive industry will build on our and our client’s success.

Expedite use a range of software to deliver projects using BIM, these include:

Autodesk Revit Structure – Tekla BIMsight – Tekla Structural Designer – Autodesk AutoCAD – Autodesk NavisWorks –  Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis.

Whether ranging from a simple truss or braced steel frame to high rise structures or complex large span frequency sensitive framing Expedite have the capability to find the most proficient design solution. Our application of this process in the design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures enables us to efficiently size flat slabs and other RC elements, along with minimising scheduled reinforcement rates due to specific and localised determination of hogging and sagging forces.

Deformation is extensively analysed in addition to crack widths preventing any permanent disfigurement of the structure or over specification of material. Expedite are also in the position to perform intricate scrutiny of specialised dynamic sensitive structures such as stadia, hospitals, universities, etc. where limits on natural frequencies are imposed by circumstances such as end user comfort ratings or the housing of sensitive equipment.

We are also able to resourcefully design complex structural components such as long spanning member, large 3D trusses, space frames, transfer structures – and more. From the simple to the complex, Expedite hold the capabilities to assign the correct and most effective team to any proposal ensuring our clients achieve the most effectual output upon delivery.
