| EFFICIENCY: Eliminating RFIs, work stoppages, and reworks by checking the accuracy and completeness of
drawings before starting construction on-site/off-site
| QUALITY: Improving quality by producing accurate Shop Drawings directly from the 3D BIM which can also be
used for prefabrication.
| SAVINGS: Preconstruction and prefabrication reviews mean better use of manpower, better quality of construction,
and reduced rework and wastage, all of which translate into lower costs.
| PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Detailed Material BOQ and Shop Drawings with 3D visualization enable a better look
at The Big Picture and aid in the review, scheduling, and monitoring of each project.
Our clients have reported cost savings up to 30% by successfully implementing BIM.

Electrical Modeling
Pinnacle specializes in the virtual construction of 3D BIM electrical models of conduits, cable trays, lighting fixtures,
fire alarms, and other electrical equipment based on contract drawings, manufacturer specifications and client standards.
We create detailed electrical room models showing electrical connections among the panels and transformers.
Value Engineering and Design Validations are also offered to clients to improve the efficiency of the
project and save costs.

Input Documentation
We are adept at using different types of inputs to create
3D representations of individual systems and complete
buildings. Some of the input formats used are pdf,
*dwg, *dgn, Revit, hand sketches, etc.

Generators
Transformer
05
Constructability Analysis
Virtual Construction of a project in BIM enables independent review of the construction plans and specifications.
This identifies discrepancies in drawings and all constructability issues at preconstruction stage. During the constructability
review, our BIM team generates a series of RFIs to help identify following type of constructability and operational issues:
Missing information / documents
Input inconsistencies
Conflicting data
Operation clearance issues
Maintenance access
BIM model is updated based on responses of RFIs. Status of all RFIs is maintained in a log and follow-up is done to
resolve them at preconstruction stage. This eliminates work stoppages and reworks during construction.

Quantity Take-Off
BIM model generates accurate quantity of all materials. These quantities are automatically updated with any changes
in the BIM model. Quantity Take-Off (QTO) reports can be formatted in MS Excel and exported to a database for detailed
analysis. Quantities can be generated for a specific time period or project area (4D/5D) to help manage material
procurement and save inventory costs.
Quantity Take-Off covers all conduits, cable trays, hangers, light fittings, switches, outlets and other electrical
equipments, fire alarm devices, security devices, communication devices, etc.

100% Quality
QC Check Phase I
The model is plotted on paper and a preliminary grid-by-grid check is done by comparing with the original contract
documents. At least one member of the Project Management team assists in this process.
The project's Team Leader sends a status report to the QC Department to begin QC Phase II.
QC Check Phase II
The QC Team performs a more detailed comparison of the contract documents against the 3D BIM model. A specific
Checklist is prepared to review/check the deliverables. Its main objective is to review, identify and address
the following:
Missing data
Mismatches with the contract documents
Clashes (Old/New), elevation, routing, fittings, and other things
Construction point of view
No-Fly-Zones
Attribute checking (pressure class, pipe material etc.)
Location of equipments such as VAVs, Sleeves, Hangers, and Valves
Equipment connection details as per Schematic Drawings
Equipment models as per technical submittals
Annotations, dimensions, and aesthetic view
Miscellaneous issues
The QA/QC Team continuously interacts with the Project Lead and other team members to resolve all technical
issues related to the project.
