Digital engineering & BIM.
BIM modelling, 3D design, services coordination and BIM management — so the services that are modelled are the services that get built.
Aurum designs building services in 3D. Electrical and mechanical systems are modelled in Revit and coordinated with the architectural and structural models, so clashes, riser space and ceiling zones are resolved on screen rather than on site.
Led by an in-house BIM Lead, Aurum’s digital engineering team also provides services coordination and BIM management to builders and consultants, including clash detection in Navisworks and custom automation that speeds up modelling and documentation.
What we deliver
BIM Modelling
- Electrical and mechanical BIM models in Revit
- Models developed to the project’s LOD requirements
- Families, schedules and model-based documentation
- As-built and handover models
3D Design
- Containment, cable tray and riser design in 3D
- Plant room and switch room layouts
- Ceiling zone and services corridor planning
- 3D design reviews with the project team
Services Coordination
- Multi-discipline model coordination
- Clash detection and resolution in Navisworks
- Coordination reporting and issue tracking
- Coordination with structure, architecture and other services
BIM Management
- BIM execution plans and modelling standards
- Model federation and quality checks
- Common data environments (ACC, Procore)
- Automation with Dynamo and custom add-ins
Why Aurum
Coordinated before site
Clashes found in the model, not discovered by the installer.

Frequently asked questions
What is digital engineering?
Digital engineering uses 3D models and shared data to design, coordinate and document a project. For building services, it means systems are modelled in BIM and coordinated with the other disciplines before construction.
Can Aurum coordinate services for other consultants or builders?
Yes. Aurum provides services coordination and clash detection as a standalone service, federating models from each discipline in Navisworks and managing clashes through to resolution.
What software do you use?
Revit for BIM modelling, Navisworks for coordination and clash detection, and AutoCAD for 2D documentation, with Dynamo and custom add-ins for automation.
