Digital Design & Consultancy Owner verified

About

Digital Design and Consultancy (DDC) have been set up to provide design and consultancy services to the AEC Industry. We specialise in Point Cloud Surveying, Fire Protection Design, M&E Design and Coordination using the latest BIM technology.
As BIM grows, DDC remain at the forefront of everything that is happening. We recently added Point Cloud Surveying to our offering. This technology has proven to be a real timesaver with design of new services within existing buildings.
At DDC, we work closely with our clients and become part of their team on projects. This provides our clients with an additional design resource, ensuring that all deadlines are being met in a timely manner. We would normally lead coordination for our clients in meetings providing our knowledge to ensure designs are fully compliant and fit our client’s needs. Our Point Cloud Surveying service has made a significant difference for our clients on existing buildings. It has saved them time and money in design and more importantly on site.

Office Developments CLIENT – HALL & KAY Project Summary We have successfully completed a large-scale project which involved a 15-story office block constructed over an existing underground station. DDC were responsible for designing the fire protection systems across all floors under the design management of Hall & Kay. The building itself was architecturally intricate from a mechanical perspective which enhanced the complexity of the sprinkler design and presented numerous challenges throughout the design process.

At DDC, we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive point cloud surveying services to the AEC industry. Our expertise with this cutting-edge technology allows us to seamlessly integrate point cloud data from conception to completion and throughout the as-built phase. By leveraging precise three-dimensional information, we empower our clients with accurate and detailed insights into existing structures. From the initial stages of design to the final as-built documentation, our point cloud surveying services contribute to the efficiency, accuracy, and success of every project we undertake.

Data Centres The project included early-stage consultancy design for a large Data Centre development in Germany. This development is to accommodate the large growth and global demand for the client's Data Centre facilities. The client engaged DDC to avail of their expertise in Fire Protection design of a compliant and scalable design solution.

BIM Services BIM, or Building Information Modelling, is a vital part of any industry, helping companies to ensure quality and innovation in all parts of the design process. DDC have years of industry experience offering professional BIM consultancy services to companies in a range of industries, helping to make BIM accessible and streamlined for you and your business. Our easy, three-step Irish BIM consulting service is ISO accredited to ensure quality and professionalism are guaranteed.

M&E Design DDC are a Mechanical and Electrical Services Design specialist providing solutions and comprehensive recommendations for COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, and lNDUSTRIAL systems. We offer BIM (Building Information Modelling) design and coordination services, by utilising the latest industry recognised 3D and 2D design software. Our expert design team provide first class design support to our clients ensuring their needs are met. DDC is a trusted and certified provider of M&E co-ordination support for the construction industry. Our expertise with industry recognised software puts us at the forefront of BIM support. Our expertise in building services enables us to provide our clients with comprehensive support throughout the project life-cycle ranging from initial design modelling, clash detection and resolution, to producing final ‘as built’ models including client-specific asset information requirements.

3D Modelling Collaboration and co-ordination are key activities on BIM projects, co-ordination of models through clash avoidance and clash detection software ensure that the models are clash free before construction thus reducing construction re-work costs. The BIM process involves a range of 3D models produced by each discipline at coordinated data drops, these are then used to inform a master federated model. Clash detection software is used to identify clashes which exist between two separate models. A hard clash occurs when two components are occupying the same space. A soft clash occurs when an element isn't given the spatial or geometric tolerances it requires, or its buffer zone is breached. The introduction of clash detection identifies these clashes at a design stage and in turn produces a coordinated model prior to construction.
