BIM Support for Ireland
ELV & ICT Outsourcing for MEP Consultants

Why Irish Firms Outsource BIM & CAD Work

The case for outsourcing ELV and ICT BIM work is not about cutting corners. It is about protecting margins and keeping programme.

The talent gap is real. Ireland's construction sector is in the middle of a multi-decade infrastructure cycle. The National Development Plan commits €165 billion to capital investment through 2030 — hospital campus expansions, university facilities, hyperscale data centre clusters and transport interchanges. Every project carries a significant ELV, ICT and security scope. Every project requires BIM-coordinated deliverables. The pool of experienced ELV BIM technicians in Ireland has not grown at the same pace as the pipeline. Senior MEP practices compete for the same small cohort of Revit-capable ELV specialists.

Outsourcing restores bandwidth without adding headcount. A dedicated remote BIM team provides elastic capacity — scaled up for tender and construction phases, scaled back between projects — without the fixed overhead of permanent employment, employer PRSI or software licence allocation. ASDV acts as your outsourced BIM coordinator for Ireland: always available, always up to speed on your project conventions, and never unavailable because another commission took priority.

The cost arithmetic is clear. Revit ELV modelling resource in Ireland costs €45–65 per hour when employment costs, software and management overhead are factored in. ASDV delivers the same standard of output at 40–60% of that cost, with overnight turnaround on markups. MEP BIM outsourcing in Dublin and across Ireland is increasingly how well-run practices protect project margins on fixed-fee commissions.

ELV & ICT BIM Services for Irish Projects

ASDV's BIM support for Ireland is built specifically around ELV and ICT disciplines — not general Revit support. Our engineers understand IS 3218, EN 50131 and ISO/IEC 11801 and can coordinate those systems within a federated architectural and MEP model.

Revit ELV & ICT Modelling

Fully parametric Revit families and model content for fire detection, PA/VA, structured cabling, CCTV, access control, BMS, wireless and AV systems. LOD 200 through LOD 400, sized and routed to construction stage. Built to your project BIM Execution Plan and your practice model templates.

Coordination Drawings & Clash Detection Support

Discipline-specific ELV and ICT models federated against architectural, structural and services models in Navisworks or your preferred coordination platform. Clash reports issued directly to your CDE with annotated resolution proposals. Standard turnaround: one working day.

LOD 300–400 Construction-Ready Deliverables

From LOD 300 design-stage models — dimensioned, specified, coordinated — through to LOD 400 fabrication-level content with manufacturer-specific families. Cable routes, tray and conduit sizes, containment fixing centres and builder's work requirements resolved before site mobilisation.

ISO 19650 CDE Workflows

We work within your Common Data Environment — ACC, BIM 360, Asite, Viewpoint or project-specific platforms. File naming, revision control, metadata tagging and information container management follow your project's ISO 19650 BIM Ireland Information Management Plan. Your project team will not be reformatting deliverables.

CAD Support for Architects & Engineers Ireland

For projects or stages where 2D CAD remains the deliverable standard, ASDV provides AutoCAD ELV and ICT layout drawings, schematics, containment plans, riser diagrams and as-built production to your practice CAD standards. Full CAD outsourcing Ireland across all sectors and scales — fully compatible with your layering conventions, titleblocks and sheet formats.

Irish BIM Standards & NDP Projects

The regulatory context is moving fast. The National BIM Council Ireland has published a clear roadmap for BIM adoption in public procurement. Government departments and state agencies — HSE, Department of Education, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the Land Development Agency — are progressively mandating ISO 19650 BIM in Ireland on capital projects above defined threshold values. For MEP consultants and architects working on public commissions, the question is no longer whether BIM is required, but whether your practice has the internal capacity to deliver it across the current project load.

• Healthcare — HSE Capital Programme projects require full MEP BIM coordination at LOD 300 or above, with federated models issued for client review at each RIAI work stage
• Education — Department of Education and HEA school and campus projects increasingly specify ISO 19650 workflows and CDE-based collaboration from RIAI Stage 2 onwards
• Data Centres — Ireland hosts one of Europe's densest concentrations of hyperscale and colocation data centres; ELV and ICT BIM modelling for data halls, meet-me rooms and structured cabling is technically demanding and time-critical
• Transport — TII, Irish Rail and Dublin Bus capital projects require systems integration across PA/VA, access control, CCTV and wayfinding — all demanding coordinated BIM input

ASDV has working experience across all four sectors and understands the design stage gates, client body requirements and BIM deliverable standards at each RIAI work stage.
