Multi-family apartment block
Project-specific BIM modeling and coordination support for a multi-family residential development.
View case studyContainment models, lighting and power layouts, schematics and coordinated installation drawings that help electrical contractors install faster and avoid fights over ceiling space.
The problems electrical contractors face, and how we help.
| Challenge | How we help | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Containment clashes with ducts | Trays coordinated with other services | Clear routes on site |
| Consultant drawings not installable | Installation drawings from the design | Site teams build with confidence |
| Schematics out of date | Schematics updated with every change | Accurate records |
| Uncertain material quantities | Containment quantities from the model | Better procurement |
Cable trays, ladders and trunking compete with ducts, pipes and beams for the same few hundred millimetres. When containment is drawn in 2D and coordinated on site, someone always ends up rerouting.
We model containment and equipment in 3D, coordinate it with the other services, and produce lighting, power and schematic drawings your installers can work from. Supports, segregation and access zones are modeled too, not just tray centrelines.
We support electrical contractors on new builds and refurbishments, from a single switch room to a whole building.
What we need from you
Trays, ladders and trunking modeled to size.
Luminaires, controls and emergency lighting.
Small power, data and outlet positions.
Single-line, riser and distribution schematics.
Containment coordinated with other services.
Coordinated layouts and sections for installers.
Switch rooms and risers modeled in detail.
Records updated from site markups.
Our electrical engineers understand containment fill, bend radii and access, so routes that work in the model also work on site. Every project starts with a written quotation, a named point of contact and a firm delivery date, and you can begin with a small trial task.
Templates, title blocks, families and naming are set up before any work starts.
A separate reviewer checks every set against your brief and markups before delivery.
Shifts overlap US and UK working hours for calls, reviews and quick turnarounds.
Add capacity for a deadline and scale back when it passes, without hiring.
NDAs on request, controlled access and secure transfer for every project file.
Start with a small live task to check quality and communication before committing.

Send the scope and programme. We'll reply with a quotation and a firm delivery date within one working day.
What happens next
Electrical support for offices, hospitals, schools, data rooms, hotels and residential towers.
Quick answers about containment, schematics, software and coordination for electrical contractors.
No. Design stays with the consultant or your engineers. We model and draft their design for installation.
Yes: trays, ladders, trunking and conduit with sizes and supports.
Yes: single-line, riser and distribution schematics to your standards.
Industry-standard MEP modeling, coordination and electrical drafting platforms.
Yes. Containment is coordinated with ducts, pipes, sprinklers and structure before release.
Yes, directly from the model for procurement.
Yes. One floor or one switch room is a good start.
Files are shared only with the people working on your project, through secure transfer or your own platform. We sign NDAs on request and never reuse your drawings, models or data on other work.
Use whatever suits you: email, a file-sharing link or your own common data environment. Within a working day of receiving the package, we send a short list of questions so nothing is left to guesswork.
