Structural BIM for Modular Systems

Accurate Structural BIM for Volumetric, Panelized & Offsite Construction

Our dedicated BIM team creates precise Structural BIM models for modular and offsite construction, including timber and steel framing, panelized assemblies, and full volumetric module structures. We model complete framing systems aligned with your engineering requirements, factory constraints, and module transportation logic.

Every structural element — studs, joists, beams, LVLs, steel frames, connectors — is modeled with accuracy to support manufacturing, coordination, and installation.

Expert Structural BIM for Offsite & Modular Construction

Structural BIM for modular construction requires a high level of precision. Modular units must be engineered for stacking, transportation, lifting, and factory assembly. Our structural BIM models accurately represent framing layouts, load paths, structural connections, and reinforcement details required for safe, manufacturable modular buildings.

We provide structural BIM modeling for both volumetric and panelized systems—timber, light-gauge steel, hybrid framing, and engineered assemblies.
Your dedicated Structural BIM team works directly with your engineers to ensure that all structural components align with architectural layouts and MEP routing, preventing clashes and ensuring seamless production.

Your Structural BIM Team Handles:

  • Structural modeling for volumetric modular units
  • Framing systems for panelized walls, floors & roofs
  • Light-gauge steel and timber framing layouts
  • Load path modeling & gravity/lateral system alignment
  • Lifting, transportation & stacking connection modeling
  • Structural opening framing (headers, lintels, trimmers)
  • Structural integration with MEP pathways
  • Module-to-module structural connection details
  • Floor systems, roof systems & diaphragm modeling
  • Structural shop drawings & schedules

 

Your dedicated Structural BIM team ensures every component is modeled with accuracy and coordinated across all disciplines. The result is safe, manufacturable modular structures with reduced risk and improved production efficiency.

How We Onboard & Work With Your Company

Initial Consultation & Requirements Gathering

We begin with a detailed meeting to understand your company’s standards, project requirements, and workflow expectations. We then prepare a structured question list to clarify every detail

Workflow Mapping & Checklist Creation

Based on your requirements, we create an initial workflow map, modeling checklist, and documentation template tailored specifically to your company. This becomes the operational base for your dedicated BIM team.

Full Workflow Integration & Long-Term Execution

Once aligned, your dedicated BIM team follows the finalized workflow consistently across all future projects. Updates are made only when required to support improved efficiency or company changes.

Team Scaling & Training

As your business grows, we hire, train, and onboard additional BIM specialists exclusively for your company—ensuring stable, scalable capacity without internal hiring pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Your dedicated BIM team follows your templates, naming conventions, manufacturing standards, and internal processes from day one.
We also refine and align the workflow during the first few projects to ensure complete compatibility with your system.

Yes. As your workload increases, we hire, train, and onboard new BIM specialists exclusively for your company.
This allows your production capacity to grow without handling recruitment or training internally.

We support volumetric modular buildings, panelized systems, hybrid modular structures, prefab steel/timber units, and modular MEP assemblies.
From conceptual layouts to fully detailed fabrication models, your team can handle all stages of BIM development.

We apply a structured QC system that includes:

Multi-discipline coordination (Arch/Struct/MEP)

Clash detection

Template and standard compliance

Internal review cycles before delivery

This ensures precise, fabrication-ready BIM outputs.

Absolutely. Your dedicated BIM team communicates directly with your internal teams through your preferred channels—Slack, Teams, Zoom, or BIM360—and integrates seamlessly into your engineering and production workflow.

Most engagements begin within 5–10 business days, depending on the complexity of your workflow and the number of team members required.
The onboarding phase includes meetings, requirements gathering, workflow alignment, and checklist creation.

Our Special Clients

Sarah Thompson Design Lead, Engineering Consultancy (London, UK)

We rely on PBD’s dedicated team for Revit modeling, shop drawings, and coordination across multiple modular projects. Their understanding of offsite construction workflows makes them far more effective than traditional drafting companies. Their accuracy has saved us many hours of rework.

Michael Lee Founder, PanelHome Systems (Australia)

PBD handled both architectural and MEP BIM tasks for our panelized home system. Their ability to train new team members specifically for our workflow was a huge advantage. We consider them our remote BIM department.

James Cahoon Technical Manager, Prefab Steel Systems (USA)

The PBD team provided us with reliable structural and MEP BIM support for our volumetric steel modules. Their QC process and responsiveness gave us confidence during tight production cycles. They follow our standards precisely, and communication has been seamless.
