Arpi’s North Building Information Modeling

Arpi’s North utilizes Building Information Modeling (BIM) a revolutionary technology that has drastically changed the way buildings are designed, managed and constructed. BIM is a 3D modeling process that allows architects, engineers, contractors and others to collaborate in real-time on the same digital platform. This new approach enables those involved in construction projects to easily access up-to-date information about each aspect of their project – from design plans to material inventories – which can significantly reduce costs and timelines for completion. With BIM, teams have more visibility into their project’s progression, allowing them to make better decisions faster. Additionally, BIM saves time by simplifying coordination between different departments as well as streamlining communication across all disciplines involved in the building process.

As the technology continues to evolve, its potential applications are only increasing. BIM can be used for a variety of purposes such as energy analysis, sustainability assessment and automated facility management. It also provides an invaluable tool for construction site visualization which allows teams to identify problems quickly and accurately. Ultimately, BIM is revolutionizing the building industry by providing greater insight into each part of the project, improving efficiency and enabling faster completion times.

Arpi’s North Mechanical Construction Services

,

Arpi’s North Inc. is recognized, throughout the industry, as one of the largest, most progressive mechanical contractors in Western Canada. We have all the necessary tools & technologies to make your commercial projects successful. As a progressive contractor, we provide our clients with renowned services to complete any project you may have. Keep reading to learn more about how we specialize in startup commissioning, document control, and BIM design services.

Startup Commissioning

Project startup and commissioning is the process of assuming all systems; and components of a building are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to the requirements of the owner. This phase of any project is one we strive to make positive.

During this transitional phase between commercial construction completion and commercial operations, we implement several steps to drive efficiency.

  • Step 1: Project Planning

Planning is the most integral part of the startup and commissioning phase. We engage the right people to develop scope, flush plan ideas, perform testing, and process review. With a highly involved team in the planning phase, our ability to turn over projects on time improves. 

  • Step 2: Project Procurement

Following the planning, our experts secure the right team for the job, including equipment. 

  • Step 3: Project Schedule

A detailed commissioning schedule ensures all parties are delivering on time. Scheduling is a collaborative phase for the assessment of risks, roles, and responsibilities.  

  • Step 4: Project Control 

Finally, the quality control and quality assurance documents ensure the right technology and tools are used to monitor and manage the process. 

Document Control

Document control is a crucial responsibility of our project managers to maintain technical documents, contracts, manuals, plans, and design documents. Delegation of document control ensures easy-to-manage access and the ability to share key project documents as deemed necessary. At Arpi’s, we believe that a centralized, reliable document management system offers better collaboration and version control.  

BIM design

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the foundation of digital transition in the architecture, engineering, and construction community. BIM is praised for its ability to better outcomes for the built environment, technology-enabled processes, and the increased understanding of a project. Several benefits of utilizing BIM include collaboration, enhanced visualization, economical, step-by-step progression, improved efficiency, support energy efficiency, optimal organization, continuity, increased communication, and portability.

Arpi’s North Construction Services

At Arpi’s North, we have strived to be a key figure in the commercial building contractor industry since 2007. With our knowledgeable and practiced team, we have completed several significant projects that are well-known to Edmontonians and visitors alike. These include Rogers Place, Edmonton International Airport, and West Edmonton Mall – to name a few. Our team of 300 and growing puts only the highest level of craftsmanship into our projects, with timing, safety, risk assessment, and quality assurance always at the top of our minds.

Project Schedule Monitoring

Grand openings are the fun part of any build – for us as contractors and for you as a building operator. But they tend to lose their momentum for excitement when the project runs late. Our project managers are experienced in balancing priorities and timelines and know how to keep a project on track. Our project managers use specialized and sophisticated software to oversee the planning, design, and construction of any project from start to end. Whether unveiling a whole new building or an upgrade to your space, Arpi’s North project managers have a strong workflow system that will ensure your scheduled project is completed right on time. Being knowledgeable in safety requirements and risk assessment, they can stop accidents before they even happen, which helps decrease time-consuming paperwork that many projects get bogged down in.

Interference Resolution

Disputes arise frequently. Depending on the severity, this can lead to delayed completion and costly financial losses. Our team is trained to control processes enabling any department or individual to remain task focused and filter out irrelevant information. By doing so, there will be avoidance of arbitration or litigation. By clearly defining roles, risks, and responsibilities, we avoid potential disputes.

Job-Costing Reports

We firmly believe in transparency. Our job-costing reports measure project performance against the original and current cost estimates. This is important to total the cost of materials, labor, and overhead applied to any specific project. This advantage also allows us to compare the cost of the project to its profit. Due to the complexity of job costing, we provide a complete picture of all costs associated with your project which includes a breakdown of unidentified issues that could affect probability. Our project managers will track the budget, progress, efficiency, and cash flow.

Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control

You may have heard the terms Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) used interchangeably. However, there are distinct differences between the two. QA and QC are two concepts our team values equally. Both are the foundation of any project’s success. QA refers to the process or actions taken to ensure the requirements are completed for the final project. There are several benefits to this, including increased productivity, minimal project error, and quality management. QC is the inspection of completed work or works in progress to ensure specifications and needs are met. 

Our team of experts has all the necessary tools and technologies to make your project a success. Learn more about why Arpi’s is considered one of the top commercial construction companies.

HVAC and the Small Businesses Air Quality Improvement Tax Credit

It’s vital that the air we breathe is safe and clean. The Air Quality Health Index provides up-to-date information on outdoor air pollution levels and gives guidance on when outdoor activities should be restricted. While outdoor air quality is important, the air quality indoors is also critical; not only do we tend to spend most of our time inside, but there are also several indoor air contaminants that can impact our health. COVID-19 has shed light on the importance of proper ventilation. The virus is spread via respiratory fluids that are created when an infected individual breathes, talks/shouts, sings, sneezes, or coughs. The chances of circulating COVID-19 increase when someone who is infected with the virus is in an enclosed area with poor air circulation for a prolonged period.

To help reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19, the Government of Canada recommends consulting a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professional who can assess if your current HVAC system is appropriate for your space based on the activities performed in that space, the number of occupants in that space, and the amount of time the space is occupied. They can also determine if your system is operating properly, if it needs adjustments, and if the highest-rated filters are being used.

The federal government is punctuating the importance of proper ventilation with a proposed refundable tax credit: the Small Businesses Air Quality Improvement Tax Credit. Under the proposed credit, the government would refund 25 per cent for expenses related to boosting indoor air quality to help make ventilation and air filtration improvements more affordable for small businesses. The credit would be applied to eligible expenses up to $10,000 per location or $50,000 total (or a tax credit of $2500 per location or $12,500 total) incurred between September 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022, that are related to purchasing or improving mechanical HVAC systems. Expenses related to standalone air filtering units that use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters would also be included.

You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Arpi’s North would be happy to help ensure the air in your building is safe for all occupants. If you’re looking fora commercial HVAC company in Edmonton to assist you, contact us today!
