Pre-Construction Services

Dowco is known for providing value to project stakeholders early in the construction process whether a design build project, or a traditional workflow. In fact, Dowco have been members of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) teams at early stages of many notable design-build BIM projects. With specialized construction knowledge, effective collaboration methods and applications, Dowco have achieved and delivered value through true integration between design and construction.

Some services include: Steel Modeling and Detailing, Mass Timber Modeling and Detailing, Rebar Modeling and Detailing, Bridge Detailing, Connection Design, and Constructability Consulting Employing applications like Tekla Structures and QNECT, Dowco Project Managers, Engineers, and Drafting Division offer design/engineering, component integration, and 4D/5D modeling/construction services, all of which are essential for an efficient building model.

LOD300 Modeling

Dowco are strong proponents of steel detailers working directly with the structural engineer, or general contractor during the design and tender stage. Using specialized software to rapidly deliver designed and optimized connected models early in the project, Dowco’s approach eliminates double handling, reduces the number of RFI’s (requests for information), and change orders later in a project.

LOD400 Modeling

At Dowco, we believe developing an LOD 400 connected model brings tremendous tangible and intangible value to the steel fabrication contract as it allows you to "look before you leap". When Dowco develops a LOD 400 Fabrication Ready model, we confirm factors like actual steelwork locations, clearances required, the types of welds and weld preparations to be used, and material thicknesses. Additionally, unlike simpler LOD 200 or 300 models, LOD 400 models can actually be used for fabrication, and highly accurate erection plans can be generated. We provide accurate representation of all Fabrication/Installation Details The result is a massively streamlined RFI resolution process, less headaches, and a more efficient process.

Dowco have been members of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) teams at early stages of many design build BIM projects. With specialized construction knowledge, effective collaboration methods and applications, we have delivered added value through true integration between Design and Construction. Employing advanced 3D modeling technology, Dowco Project Managers, Engineers, and Drafting teams offer design/engineering, component integration, and 4D/5D modeling and construction services; all of which are essential for an efficient building model.

Construction Modeling

A construction model is a plan or diagram that shows how something is built. A construction model can be used to plan a construction project, help with the assembly of something, or troubleshoot a problem with something built. There are many different construction models, and each type is used for a different purpose.

Construction models are an important tool for builders and engineers, and they help ensure that construction projects are planned correctly and that things are assembled correctly. When there is a problem with something that has been built, a construction model can be used to help troubleshoot the problem.

If you require professional construction modeling, consider DOWCO Consultants Ltd's services. We are the right choice for your pre and post-construction requirements within budget.

3D Construction Modeling

3D construction modeling is creating a three-dimensional representation of a construction project. This can be used for planning and design purposes and for estimating costs and scheduling. Several software programs can be used for this, such as AutoCAD and Revit. One advantage of using 3D construction modeling is that it can visualize the finished product. This can help you make better decisions about the layout and design of the project. It can also help you identify potential problems and fix them before they become a problem. The benefits include:

  • Allowing more creative room for architects to focus on what gives value
  • Exponentially easy to share designs and ideas for immediate feedback
  • Helping identify issues and problems in the early stages for immediate corrections or improvements
  • Making greater team collaboration possible
  • Experiencing the building before it is initiated

Through this technology, clients and architects can identify even the minimal problems and take care of the problems immediately. Landscaping and fountains can be added to enhance the visual appeal of your property.

3D Modeling Services

3D modeling services are a great way to create detailed, three-dimensional models of anything you can imagine. Whether you need a model for a school project or a business presentation, these services can help you create a realistic and lifelike image of your desired object.

Our 3D modeling services offer a wide range of options, so you can choose the level of detail that you need. You can also choose whether to have the model created from scratch or based on an existing object. Additionally, many services offer rendering and animation options, so you can create a dynamic 3D model that comes to life.

3D modeling services are a great way to create detailed, three-dimensional models of anything you can imagine. Whether you need a model for a school project or a business presentation, these services can help you create a realistic and lifelike image of your desired object.

3D modeling can save time and money during the construction process. It can help architects and contractors identify potential problems before any construction begins. And it can help engineers verify that the construction plans are accurate and meet all safety requirements. It can even be used to generate construction bids and estimates in some cases.
