Design-side

For consultants

Institutional, campus and reuse packages produced to your BEP and templates, so a lean studio documents like a practice several times its size.

Explore Build-side

For contractors

Coordination and shop drawings across port, campus and heritage sites, where existing fabric and constrained access shape the programme.

Explore Owner-side

For developers

Consistent information across portfolios that mix new build, conversion and institutional stock, with handover data that holds up in operation.

Explore

New build, port and heritage rarely share a workflow. One checked standard covers all three.

Port-side industrial work, university and institutional buildings, and historic-fabric reuse each pull a studio in a different direction. 260+ engineers working to your BEP, modelling new build, conversion and heritage alike to the same checked standard.

Six services. One checked standard.

From port structures to campus buildings to heritage reuse, every deliverable clears the same QA gates and the same ISO 19650 baseline.

BIM Delivery, fully coordinated multidiscipline model

BIM Delivery.

Full-discipline modelling for new build, conversion and heritage, coordinated and issued as packages your site team can build from directly.

Explore service
VDC, 4D sequencing and coordinated site logistics model

Virtual Design & Construction.

4D sequencing for constrained and heritage-sensitive sites, and 5D cost that keeps institutional and reuse budgets honest through design development.

Explore service
CDE workspace

Information Management

CDE operation, naming discipline and exchange management to ISO 19650, so a compact studio gets big-office information governance without hiring for it.

Explore
Digital Twins, asset information model of heritage and tower development

Digital Twins

Asset models with structured handover data, built for institutional and campus owners who will run these buildings for decades.

Explore
QTO · procurement BOQ

QTO & Cost

Quantities from the coordinated model, so cost discussions across new and existing fabric stay grounded in one number set.

LiDAR, point cloud scan of industrial facility

As-Built Documentation

Scan to BIM for the reuse pipeline: historic centre fabric, port structures and campus stock measured into reliable models.

The full scope, new build and reuse

Eight capabilities from a single team, matched to each commission rather than to a retainer.

  • 3D BIM modelling

    Architecture, structure and MEP modelled and federated to one standard, from historic-fabric reuse to full institutional blocks.

  • Revit family creation

    Custom Revit content to your naming and parameter conventions, including the irregular components heritage and reuse projects keep demanding.

  • 4D, 5D and 6D simulation

    4D logistics simulation for tight and heritage-sensitive sites, 5D cost per project, and 6D data where your operators request it.

  • Shop drawings & detailing

    Shop drawings coordinated in the model first, so installation in occupied, constrained and heritage settings goes to plan.

  • Scan to BIM

    Point clouds of existing buildings processed into as-built models accurate enough to design conversions on.

  • CAD to BIM conversion

    Old drawing sets rebuilt as intelligent models, giving reuse and heritage projects a dependable starting point.

  • BIM for facility management

    Structured handover data for institutional and campus operators, ready for CAFM import on day one.

  • Quantity take-off & BOQ

    Model-based take-off across new and existing fabric, where small measurement errors compound across a large scope.

Three sets of eyes before it leaves.

Every JES deliverable moves through a fixed Author-Checker-Approver gate, tracked in the CDE. The same standard whether it's engineer 3 or engineer 250.

Author
Model and documentation produced to the MIDP task card. Self-review against the project QA checklist before submission.
Status: WIP
Checker
Independent review against the BEP and federated model. Defects logged, deviation report returned to Author.
Output: Deviation report
Approver
Signed off against EIR and LOIN. Promoted from WIP to Shared or Published in the CDE.
Status: Published

Skip the gates and a lean team pays twice: rework eats the fee, coordination errors surface during installation, and handover data needs rebuilding. On JES projects the three-signature rule on every file is what keeps your margin intact, and the record of who authored, checked and approved each one travels with the file.

Proof in the deliverables

Metro systems, museums and resort programmes coordinated to ISO 19650 in the Gulf, the Zayed National Museum among them. A zero-cost pilot lets you test the method on one package and run our files through your own checkers.

What changes when delivery runs to a system

  • Construction-ready output

    Documentation issued to programme from a coordinated model, so your permit deadlines and contractor mobilisations stop competing.

  • Your team stops chasing deliverables

    Live dashboards carry each file's author, checker and approver, so a compact office never burns hours on supplier management.

  • Runs to standard

    ISO 19650 stood up from project start, proportionate to the project rather than imposed as bureaucracy.

Common questions about BIM in Ghent

Both. JES produces the discipline models, drawings and coordination, and governs the standards: your BEP, CDE and the Author-Checker-Approver gate on every file. A compact studio gets big-office information governance without hiring for it, so you have one accountable team rather than a consultancy that advises and a shop that draws.

Yes. We embed as your outsourced BIM team under one delivery lead, working to your BEP, with 260+ engineers behind the work. Capacity expands and contracts with your pipeline, so port-side, institutional and heritage work no longer pull your studio three ways at once, each held to the same checked standard.

Yes. Our BIM consultants embed in your delivery, set the BEP and LOD schedule, and hold new build, conversion and heritage to one checked standard against ISO 19650. One named lead stays accountable across the programme, so each pull on your studio stays inside the same QA gate rather than fragmenting into three workflows.

Yes. We run scan to point cloud to record model for the reuse pipeline, measuring historic-centre fabric, port structures and campus stock into a verified base. Every discipline coordinates against that record, so a heritage conversion designs against the fabric that stands rather than drawings that no longer match it.

Architectural, structural and MEP, authored in Revit and federated in Navisworks on regular clash cycles across port, campus and heritage sites. Every file is authored, checked and approved against your BEP before issue, where existing fabric and constrained access shape the programme. You receive packages your site team can build from directly.

Cost follows scope, disciplines, the LOD you need and programme length, so we scope each engagement to the work rather than a flat day rate. A historic-fabric reuse carries more than a new-build block. Test the method first on a zero-cost pilot for one package and run our files through your own checkers.
