"Our Vision is to deliver a Sustainable future through Innovative BIM Service Technologies"

About Us

In 2015, a team of entrepreneurs decided that BIM was a new age culture that would change the entire AEC industry. They called this dream "KNIGHT DESIGN".

Knight Design has provided Building Information Modeling (BIM) services to national and international clients. We are a team of qualified and experienced BIM professionals especially certified by the leading BIM software brand.

Our focus has been to provide construction documentation that is tested in a virtual environment. We deliver this through BIM modeling and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) solutions to building services engineers, architects, general contractors, construction companies, Project Management companies, retailers and home builders.

What is BIM?

Building Information Modeling is the process of generating and managing building data and its various components throughout the building's life-cycle. Using three dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction, the process produces the Building Information Model.

Unlike past 3D innovations in the building industry, BIM is more than a conceptual modeling tool. BIM encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities and properties of building components. When the modeling software is used by manufacturers and principals involved in a building project, the resulting BIM is usable for fabrication. It involves ground-up reality rather than top-down theory.

Our Services

2D to 3D Conversion

2D (CAD) to 3D (BIM) Conversion | 3D (BIM) Modeling

Knight Design converts 2D CAD models or paper plans to smart 3D models using tools like Autodesk Revit, Tekla, etc. for Architecture, Structure, HVAC, plumbing, fire fighting, drainage, electrical trades.

Advantages:

  • Resolve problems early in the design phase.
  • Foster collaborative environments.
  • Reduce risk of on-site errors.
BIM Co-ordination

BIM Co-ordination | Clash Detection

As a partner or BIM coordinator, Knight Design ensures project success by integrating, managing, and analyzing all 3D models to detect clashes and incompatibilities, recommending constructive solutions.

4D Simulation

4D Simulation (Time)

Linking construction planning with time, 4D models allow visualization and optimization of project phasing and sequencing. Simulate the entire process from demolition to move-in.

Advantages:

  • Simulate sequential phases before construction.
  • Manage design-to-construction transition better.
  • Keep the entire team aligned via visual schedules.
  • Inform decisions based on "real-time" scenarios.
5D Cost Estimation

5D Cost Estimation (Cost)

Linking 3D models and 4D time with cost, 5D models generate accurate quantity takeoffs and assist cost estimation throughout the project lifecycle using tools like Navisworks, Vico, Solibri.

Advantages:

  • Simulate cost scenarios and forecast cash budgets.
  • Analyze costs for entire models or specific parts.
  • Support "what if" scenario decision-making.
  • Extract accurate quantity information.
6D Lifecycle Management

6D Life Cycle Management | As-Built Modelling for Facility

Supporting building life cycle management, 6D models provide owners with a virtual model containing relevant data for operation and maintenance, including energy analysis and asset data.

Advantages:

  • Enable skillful management of facilities, changes, and maintenance.
  • Perform Building System Analysis.
  • Provide immediate info on system/component failures.
  • Support Asset Management and maintenance scheduling.
  • Quickly find repair/replacement info.
BIM Content Creation

BIM Content Creation

Specializing in creating BIM families and templates (Architectural, Structural, MEP) with parametric properties and manufacturer metadata (e.g., Doors, Windows, Beams, Columns, HVAC components, Electrical fixtures, Plumbing fixtures).

Construction Drawings

BIM Construction Drawing & MEP Shop Drawings Creation

Providing accurate Construction Drawings and MEP Shop Drawings based on International Building Codes for Architects, Builders, Contractors. Services include shop, fabrication, patent, isometric, as-built drawings, etc.

Architectural Visualization

Arch. Visualization and Walkthrough | 360°VR

Producing interior/exterior renderings, virtual tours, walkthroughs, and REAL-TIME 3D interactive experiences (e.g., for Oculus Rift) using tools like 3ds Max, V-ray, SketchUp, Maxwell, Unreal Engine.

Product Demonstration

Product Demonstration

Illustrating product capabilities through animation and Virtual Realistic models. Useful as a compelling sales and marketing tool to portray complex concepts and benefits.

Why Work With Knight Design?

At Knight Design, we provide Building Information and Modeling services using various Autodesk tools (AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, etc.). Our highly proficient team firmly follows BIM codes like NBIMS-US and AEC(UK) BIM Standards.

We understand the evolving technology in engineering and architecture. We maintain an active Revit family library development process, using families typically from LOD 350 to 400, and up to LOD 500 per client requirements.

Our BIM projects integrate planning, estimating, construction, and project management phases, reducing information loss, preventing errors, and ultimately saving time and money.

BIM is the choice for leading professionals because it:

  • Allows easier coordination via Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).
  • Serves as a significant resource, producing models usable for fabrication and increasing productivity.
  • Enables improved communication, reducing change order costs.
  • Enhances quality control, including clash detection.
  • Provides comprehensive life-cycle management.
