BIM (Building Information Model) design services. Federal Project Support
Our firm has developed a network of professional that have experience with the requirements for BIM standards required by federal agencies. We have experience with the federal design build process and can offer contractors the design support required to provide the BIM design submittals for solicitation submittals. The content that we can produce form the BIM model can make the difference in winning a contract. Our staff have experience working with all the districts and have that knowledge to give your firm the advantage.

March 26 Free Webinar on COE BIM submittal Lessoned Learned |
AGC request Oa BIM services to provide a Webinar lessoned learned for Corps of Engineer Projects based on case study of project completed to date. View and download the presentation
The COE adapted build delivery method is the future of federal construction contract process. The COE will provide Bentley BIM models connected to set of 2D cad sheets as the standard design package for that building type and the contractor will be asked to use this content. This package will be modified for the requirements of the site. The work flow that we have developed positions Oa to become a team member for your next proposal and success completion of COE contracts. We offer the ability for your firm to maintain the BIM and CAD format that you have invested and have proven success. Our firm will maintain the Bentley BIM COE content provided for the contract requirements while providing design content in the format required to maintain your current work flow. We will provide the support for submissions throughout the contract process.

Choose Owens architects to provide final submittal model and federal required Bentley work space model and sheet submission package. The design was completed in Revit and Owens architects created a Bently BIM model to match the design. The service package will also include the maintenance of asbuilt model with connected sheets for the final submission. See the Fort Bliss Project page. |
We provide Revit content to Bentley BIM model creation services for required submissions for Federal projects and will maintain that model during construction for the as built model and contract document submission. To Learn about this group of services contact our BIM services Director Lee Ezell

BIM Examples Federal Submittal Content
Early Rendered Images give quick perspective walk around of design elements. A quick overview animation can be created to add to the overall understanding of the project see an example |
Isometrics with elements removed communicate design concept |
Line Perspective a quick scale and proportion review. |
Interior perspective convey human work space concepts |
Line Isometrics offer quick understanding of building connections |
Composite Sheets quick overview of the design. |
 |
4D construction sequence simulation testing of construction. Federal contract electives can provides a proposal advantage. Click on the image to see example of this communication tool |
Mass model addition interactive 3D PDF |
Mass model with sections and floor cuts that explain design concept and spatial connections |
Plan from above images isolate and communicate design in context with the whole plan. These are great tools during design development.
Quick line extraction help communicate design during the early design process as well as when the project moves into final stages of design.
Structural elements studied in relation to all elements including mechanical |
Kitchen plan above image communicates design |
Mechanical interface with design is checked and confirmed . |
Kitchen perspectives give further support to kitchen design. |
Serving area perspective |
Mechanical isometrics communicate interference check of BIM design |
Mechanical room studies confirm design.
3d PDF help in the design Develop phase
Details studied and communicated during design development. Portion can be illustrated in detail with the clients ability to interact with this one file to gain a better understanding of the design. |

Green Design elements can be communicated with this BIM content
We have LEED accredited designers that bring a unique level of understanding to the BIM model creation process which can help you meet the LEED requirements of a submittal.
The Living Sun Shade as detailed in the image offers a nice option to meet the extremes of this northern site. |
July Study
|
Study of assembly space and the effectives of light control devices on solar penetration in the extremes of the solar calendar. The comparison shows that July has limited direct gain light exposure while January sun is more intense and welcomed for the solar heat gain that it provides. Results of a time lapsed 12 hour sequence of light movement in the space at the extreme solar conditions. Shade devices are proven effective by these studies. |
