CONSULTING SERVICES

Enhance building lifecycle value with BIM and VDC.

Integrating building information modeling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC) technology improves performance indicators throughout an asset’s lifecycle, from construction to completion - and over its extended life.

 

BIM and VDC give project teams clearer insight before work begins, helping owners, contractors, designers, and trades coordinate more effectively, reduce rework, improve safety planning, and make better decisions in the field. From new construction to renovations and facility management, these tools create a more reliable path to cost control, schedule confidence, and long-term building value.

New Construction

For new construction projects, ZELUS uses BIM Coordination, Clash Detection, and BIM Execution Plans to create a shared source of truth for owners, contractors, designers, and trades. By resolving issues before they reach the jobsite, we improve coordination, reduce rework, support safer workflows, and deliver higher-quality projects with stronger schedule and cost control.

NEW CONSTRUCTION EXAMPLES

Renovations and Adaptive Reuse

For renovations and adaptive reuse projects, ZELUS uses 3D Laser Scanning, 3D As-Builts & Scan-to-BIM, and BIM Coordination to capture existing conditions and plan changes with confidence. This is especially powerful for older buildings that have changed hands over time, where decades of renovations, missing plans, or outdated drawings can create costly unknowns. With accurate site data before construction begins, teams can reduce surprises, limit rework, control costs, and keep schedules moving.

 

RENOVATION & ADAPTIVE REUSE EXAMPLES
ZELUS assists stakeholders to understand actual site conditions, and virtually plan accurate desired changes before construction. This approach results in precise planning and leads to reduced costs and time spent in the field compared to traditional practices.

Building Maintenance and Management

For building maintenance and management, ZELUS uses 3D Laser Scanning, 3D As-Builts & Scan-to-BIM, and 3D Tours & Walkthroughs to create accurate digital twins for new and existing facilities. With a clear view of building systems, layouts, and asset conditions, teams can plan maintenance, reduce site visits, identify upgrade opportunities, and support smarter long-term facility management.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE & MANAGEMENT EXAMPLES
ZELUS prepares digital twins for new and existing structures so teams can visualize and adapt how assets look and function. A deeper understanding of the asset can help reduce maintenance costs and identify potential opportunities for sustainable improvements over its life.

High-Precision and Mission Critical

For data centers, semiconductor facilities, robotics, and other mission critical projects, ZELUS uses Lead Coordination, Clash Detection, Shop Drawings, Spool Drawings, and Floor Flatness Reports to support complex trade coordination and high-precision installations. From dense MEP systems to tool install planning, we help teams reduce clashes, protect tolerances, improve constructability, and keep critical infrastructure projects moving forward.

Reality Capture

Accurately capturing existing site conditions with laser scanning and creating a BIM model provides architects, contractors, and owners with a better understanding of the true dimensions. This knowledge facilitates the management of material costs, labor expenses, early clash detection, and schedule planning.

We advise owners, developers, architects, contractors, and engineers on the integration of virtual design and construction into everyday practice. Our work makes construction projects smarter, safer, and more sustainable. Whether on-site or remote, we help integrate technology into project planning and design processes, the construction phase, and ongoing sustainability initiatives with the built structure.

3D Modeling

Designing models of mechanical systems, electrical, structural, or architectural elements enable teams to consider numerous options for a new or existing structure. This pre-planning can be shared with all project stakeholders, including the owner, to enhance collaboration.

Employing a digital twin allows for the creation of optimized prefabrication workflows, clash detection, material changes, and a QA/QC process. This approach delivers maximum value to owners, contractors, and architects, with a 1% investment often resulting in an 11% cost reduction.
