Benefits

Value Engineering has a number of benefits to construction projects across the UK and Ireland. It unlocks efficiency in design and construction of reinforcement elements through:

BIM

By using the latest 3D software, Midland Steel’s technical department can work with any 2D or 3D drawings and develop solutions suitable for import into any Building Information Model (BIM). This enables them to plan, early in the project, the most optimal reinforcing steel layouts and pour programmes to achieve the most programme and cost benefit to the client.

Efficient Detailing/Rebar Reduction

When 3D detailing is completed, any drawing errors, missing bars or complex areas can be found and resolved prior to arrival of steel on site. In addition, clash detection software can be used to ensure that the reinforcement will not be obstructed (or obstruct) other building elements.

Zero Scrap

Complete elimination of on-site scrap using FasterFix, which will greatly reduce trip hazards on site from loose steal.

Improved Health and Safety

Health and Safety is of utmost importance to Midland Steel. Due to the reduction in on site labour of up to 80%, there is increased health and safety benefits for all sites.

Early engagement:

3D detailing & BIM is our specialty.  We recommend early involvement from our clients in order to get the very best results.

By involving Midland Steel early in the project, MS can overview the project from an IFC Model and rationalise all aspects of the project from foundations through to all aspects of the reinforcement elements of the project.

Pour layouts and RC programme can be optimised based on our FasterFix process Being able to model the cost vs time impacts of these options ahead of the build can considerably reduce programme times.
