What we do

Industrial projects involve a technology supplier with equipment-driven requirements, several engineering disciplines, statutory authorities and a promoter who wants production to start on time. As Principal Designer, TeXeL takes single-point responsibility for the complete design: we develop the architecture and civil/structural design in-house, engage and coordinate MEP, fire and specialist consultants, integrate the technology supplier's equipment and load data, run the entire design in a coordinated BIM model and issue a complete, clash-free GFC drawing set with specifications and BOQs. We remain the owner's design authority through construction — answering RFIs, reviewing vendor drawings and attending site.

TeXeL has acted as principal consultant for MDF and wood-panel plants (Kerala, Haryana and others), process and manufacturing facilities and large warehouses.

Why hire TeXeL

• One contract, one responsibility — no gaps between consultants; coordination is our problem, not yours.
• Structural strength in-house — heavy equipment foundations, machine structures, pits, silos, cranes, PEB and RCC sheds are designed by TeXeL's own structural department (see our SDE services).
• Speaks the supplier's language — we have integrated European and Asian technology suppliers' load and layout data into Indian designs many times; changes from the supplier are absorbed in real time.
• BIM-coordinated — all disciplines in one model, clash-checked, with quantities extracted directly.
• Approvals and execution covered — drawings prepared for factory, fire, environment and local approvals; design support continues through construction, optionally with TeXeL PMC.

How we work

1. Design brief & schematic — master plan and schematic design (or adoption of the promoter's).
2. Design development — architecture, structure, civil, MEP, fire, utilities developed in a federated BIM model; supplier interface data incorporated.
3. Coordination & approvals — clash detection, statutory drawing sets, consultant and supplier sign-offs.
4. GFC documentation — good-for-construction drawings, specifications, BOQs and tender support.
5. Construction-stage design support — RFIs, vendor and fabrication drawing review, site visits, as-built updates.

Scope of work

• Architectural and master-plan design
• Structural and civil design — buildings, equipment foundations, machine structures, pits, trenches, silos, tanks, roads, drainage, storm water
• Coordination of MEP, fire-fighting, HVAC, utilities and specialist consultants
• Technology supplier interface management
• BIM coordination and clash resolution
• Statutory drawings; GFC drawings, specifications, BOQs; tender assistance
• Construction-stage design support

Deliverables

• Coordinated multi-discipline BIM model
• Statutory approval drawing sets
• GFC drawings for all disciplines, specifications and BOQs
• Design basis reports and calculations
• Construction-stage RFI responses and vendor drawing approvals

What we need from you

• Technology supplier's layout, equipment and load data and a supplier contact
• Site survey, soil investigation, land and statutory documents
• Decision-maker for milestone approvals

What we do

Building Information Modelling replaces uncoordinated 2D drawings from separate consultants with one federated 3D model in which every wall, beam, duct, pipe and cable tray exists in its real position. TeXeL's BIM department develops architectural, structural and MEP models from the consultants' drawings, aggregates them into a federated coordination model, runs clash detection, hosts the whole process on Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro / Autodesk Construction Cloud so that architects, engineers, PMC and client can review and comment in one place, and iterates with the consultants until the design is coordination-closed. The result is a model from which coordinated GFC drawings, quantities, 4D simulations and finally an as-built record can be produced.

We have delivered BIM for high-rise luxury residential towers (3 basements + G + 11 with consultants in Mumbai, Singapore and Jaipur), institutional campuses, hospitals and industrial plants, working alongside TeXeL's own structural, PMC and assessment departments.

Why hire TeXeL

• Engineers behind the modellers — our BIM team sits next to structural designers and site managers; clashes are resolved with engineering judgement, not just flagged.
• A real process, not just a model — a BIM Execution Plan fixes roles, naming, LOD, clash matrix, exchange protocols and approval workflows before modelling starts.
• Everyone in one room, virtually — BIM Collaborate Pro gives consultants in different cities version control, issue tracking, comments and approvals on the same model.
• Clash reports people can act on — screenshots, location, category, severity, responsible consultant, suggested resolution and tracking status; reviewed in periodic coordination workshops.
• Standards-based — ISO 19650 workflow, NBC and IS code compliance, native Revit, IFC and Navisworks deliverables so you are never locked in.
• Pays for itself — rework, abortive work and site delays caused by drawing conflicts typically cost far more than the BIM fee.

How we work

1. Mobilisation — kick-off, data collection, BIM Execution Plan, CDE set-up on BIM Collaborate Pro / ACC.
2. Model development — architectural, structural and MEP models developed progressively from LOD 200 (generic) to LOD 300 (accurate geometry) to LOD 350 (coordinated with interfaces).
3. Federation — discipline models aggregated into one coordination model for spatial review, constructability and service-routing optimisation.
4. Clash detection — Architecture vs Structure, Structure vs MEP, Architecture vs MEP, MEP vs MEP, clearance and maintenance-access checks in Navisworks Manage.
5. Coordination loop — reports issued ? review workshop ? consultants revise ? models resubmitted ? federated model updated — repeated until coordination closure.
6. Handover — coordinated models, drawings extracted from the model, IFC / NWD files and issue logs; continuation into 4D and as-built BIM if engaged.

Scope of work

• BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and CDE implementation
• Architectural BIM — walls, floors, ceilings, openings, cores, façade, apartment layouts, RCPs, podium and terrace elements
• Structural BIM — foundations and rafts, columns, shear walls, beams, slabs, transfer structures, stairs, retaining walls, openings
• MEP BIM — HVAC, electrical (trays, rooms, lighting, power, LV), plumbing and drainage, fire-fighting, ELV / smart systems
• Federated coordination model, clash detection and coordination workshops
• Model-based drawing extraction and quantity schedules

Deliverables

• Architectural, Structural and MEP BIM models (native Revit + IFC)
• Federated coordination model (Navisworks)
• BIM Execution Plan
• Clash detection reports, coordination review reports, issue-tracking logs
• PDF drawing sets extracted from the coordinated model
• Configured BIM Collaborate Pro project with managed workflows

What we need from you

• Approved consultant drawings in editable form, design data and specifications
• Participation of all consultants in coordination reviews and timely revision of their drawings
• Timely design approvals and a nominated client representative

Software & standards

Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, BIM Collaborate Pro, Autodesk Construction Cloud, AutoCAD; ISO 19650, NBC 2016, relevant IS codes, client BIM protocols.

What we do

Many projects have models or drawings produced by different consultants and contractors, but nobody independently checks whether they fit together. TeXeL provides that check. We take your discipline models (or model them from 2D drawings), federate them, run structured clash detection, audit model quality against the BIM Execution Plan and ISO 19650 requirements, and review the design for constructability, code compliance and completeness. The output is a clear, prioritised coordination report with responsibilities assigned — the same report our own BIM projects use.

Why hire TeXeL

• Independent — we are not the author of the models we audit, so the report reflects the project's interest, not a consultant's.
• Engineers read the clashes — a beam through a duct is sorted by who should move and what it costs; not every clash is equal, and we say which ones matter.
• Model health, not just geometry — naming, levels, worksets, families, LOD compliance, duplicated elements and missing information are audited so the model remains useful for quantities, 4D and as-built.
• Drawing-only projects welcome — if you have 2D drawings, we build the federated model and find the problems the drawings hide.
• Tracked to closure — issues logged on BIM Collaborate Pro and followed through revision cycles.

How we work

1. Intake — models / drawings, BEP, clash matrix and tolerances agreed.
2. Federation & audit — models aggregated; model-quality audit against BEP and standards.
3. Clash detection — hard, soft and clearance clashes by discipline pair; grouping and de-duplication so the report is readable.
4. Design review — constructability, access and maintenance clearances, NBC / IS compliance checks, completeness of information for construction.
5. Report & workshop — prioritised report with screenshots, locations, responsible party and proposed resolution; review meeting with all consultants.
6. Re-check — revised models re-run; closure confirmed.

Scope of work

• Federated model build from Revit / IFC / 2D drawings
• Clash detection — Architecture / Structure / MEP / MEP-MEP, clearances, maintenance access
• BIM model quality audit (LOD, naming, structure, data completeness)
• Constructability and code-compliance design review
• Issue tracking on a Common Data Environment
• Third-party review of contractor / vendor BIM submissions

Deliverables

• Clash detection reports (grouped, prioritised, assigned)
• Model audit report with corrective actions
• Design review report
• Issue log and closure status
• Navisworks federated file and viewpoints

What we need from you

• Native models or drawings from each discipline, BEP if any
• Consultant and contractor participation in the review meetings

What we do

4D BIM connects every element of the coordinated model to the activities of the project schedule (Primavera P6 / MS Project) so the construction sequence can be simulated, checked and communicated visually. TeXeL builds the 4D model, produces sequence animations for planning and stakeholder reviews, tests work-package phasing, crane and site-logistics arrangements and then, during construction, updates the model with site progress so planned-versus-actual is seen in 3D, not read in a table. Combined with TeXeL's PMC department, the 4D model becomes a live construction-monitoring tool; 5D quantity extraction from the same model supports BOQs and bill verification.

Why hire TeXeL

• Planners and BIM in one team — our PMC schedulers and BIM modellers work together, so the schedule logic and the model structure match.
• Sequence problems found early — out-of-order activities, access conflicts, missing temporary works and crane-reach issues become obvious in simulation.
• Everyone understands it — owners, lenders and site teams grasp a 4D animation far faster than a 2,000-line Gantt chart.
• Progress you can see — monthly as-planned vs as-built colour-coded views show exactly which zones are behind.
• Quantities from the model — model-based take-offs for estimates, procurement and RA-bill cross-checks.

How we work

1. Schedule & model alignment — WBS and model element breakdown mapped; activity codes assigned to elements.
2. 4D linking — schedule imported and linked; task types (construct, demolish, temporary) set.
3. Simulation & review — sequence animation reviewed with planning, PMC and contractor; logic corrected; logistics and phasing refined.
4. Baseline — approved 4D baseline issued with animations and phased views.
5. Monitoring — periodic progress updates from site (PMC reports, photos, 360° captures); planned vs actual visualisation and deviation reports.
6. Re-planning support — recovery schedules simulated before being adopted.

Scope of work

• 4D model build and schedule integration
• Construction sequence and phasing simulations; site-logistics and crane studies
• Stakeholder presentation animations
• Progress-linked model updates and planned-vs-actual visualisation
• 5D model-based quantity take-off (optional)
• Delay-impact visualisation for claims and recovery planning

Deliverables

• 4D simulation model and construction-sequence animations
• Phased construction views and logistics plans
• Periodic progress visualisation reports
• Model-based quantity schedules where engaged

What we need from you

• Coordinated BIM model (ours or yours) and the project schedule
• Regular site progress data from the contractor / PMC

What we do

Adaptive reuse keeps the structure and embodied value of an existing building while changing its function, performance and appearance. TeXeL starts with a measured survey and condition assessment (through our CA department), models the existing building in BIM, tests the proposed use against structural capacity and codes, designs the strengthening and alterations, and develops the architectural, structural and services design for the new use — complete with phasing for occupied buildings. The same approach serves plain renovation: refurbishment of interiors, façades, roofs and services with structural repairs where needed.

Why hire TeXeL

• Assessment and design in one firm — we know what the existing structure can take before we draw the new plan, and we design the strengthening ourselves.
• Existing-conditions BIM — scan or survey-based model of the building as it is, so every new wall, opening and duct is designed against reality.
• Code upgrade handled — fire, accessibility, seismic and services requirements of the new occupancy mapped and resolved.
• Heritage sensitivity — compatible, reversible interventions for stone, lime and timber structures.
• Phased, occupied works — sequences designed so buildings can stay partly in use.

How we work

1. Survey & assessment — measured survey, condition assessment, NDT where needed; existing-conditions BIM model.
2. Feasibility — proposed use tested against structural capacity, codes and budget; options and cost envelope.
3. Design development — architecture, structure (alterations and strengthening), MEP and fire for the new use in a coordinated model.
4. Documentation — statutory drawings, GFC drawings, specifications, BOQ and method statements for structural works.
5. Construction support — site visits, RFI responses, inspection of structural interventions.

Scope of work

• Measured surveys and existing-conditions BIM
• Structural feasibility, strengthening and alteration design (new openings, removed walls, added floors, mezzanines)
• Architectural redesign for the new use; façade and roof refurbishment
• Services and fire upgrade coordination
• Heritage building conservation-led design
• Phasing and method statements for occupied buildings

Deliverables

• Condition and feasibility report
• Existing and proposed BIM models
• Statutory and GFC drawings, specifications and BOQ
• Structural strengthening drawings and method statements

What we need from you

• Any existing drawings, history of alterations; access for survey and testing
• Intended new use, occupancy and budget

What we do

Drawings issued for construction rarely match what gets built. TeXeL captures the built reality and turns it into usable documentation: as-built BIM models updated through construction from site records, photographs and surveys and handed over at LOD 500; Scan-to-BIM models of existing buildings from 3D laser-scan point clouds where no reliable drawings exist; and conventional drafting services — CAD-to-Revit conversion, as-built 2D drawings, measured-building surveys and GFC / shop drawing production. These models feed facility management, renovation design, condition assessment and future extensions.

Why hire TeXeL

• Verified on site — as-built updates come from measured site data, inspection and photographs, not from assuming the drawings were followed.
• Structural understanding — our assessment and structural teams interpret what the scan or survey shows, so hidden members and alterations are modelled correctly.
• Right level of detail — LOD agreed to the use: FM-ready LOD 500 with asset data, or lighter models for renovation feasibility.
• Open formats — Revit, IFC, DWG, point clouds and COBie data as required, so the record stays usable for decades.
• Fast, consistent drafting — a dedicated drafting cell produces clean, standards-compliant drawings for architects, engineers and contractors.

How we work

1. Brief — purpose of the model (handover, FM, renovation, assessment), required LOD and data fields.
2. Capture — site records and construction-stage updates for new buildings; laser scanning or measured survey for existing ones.
3. Modelling — model updated / created in Revit; structural and services elements verified against capture data.
4. Quality check — accuracy checks against survey control; clash and completeness checks.
5. Handover — native and open-format files, drawings, asset data and a model guide.

Scope of work

• Progressive as-built model updates during construction; final LOD 500 federated model
• Scan-to-BIM of existing buildings, plants and heritage structures
• Measured building surveys and as-built 2D drawings
• CAD-to-BIM / PDF-to-CAD conversion
• GFC, shop and fabrication drawing drafting support
• Asset data / COBie population for facility management

Deliverables

• As-built BIM model (Revit + IFC) at agreed LOD with asset data
• As-built drawing sets (DWG / PDF)
• Registered point clouds where scanning is performed
• Model guide and handover documentation

What we need from you

• Construction-stage records, RFIs and change logs (new buildings); site access for scanning or survey (existing buildings)
• Required LOD, data fields and file formats
