STMK expertise: design and construction of private residences
STMK Expertise brings together 4 authored articles and 7 practical guides on BIM design, working documentation, engineering coordination and the construction of private residences. STMK specialists prepare the materials from the company’s own design and construction practice; each publication identifies its subject, author, publication date and related completed projects.
Whatever the subject, it ends up on a sheet: a decision agreed in words is checked against a drawing. That is where every piece below starts.

How 3D objects for BIM are made: from an idea to a finished library
BIM families are the digital components a building model is assembled from: a window, a pump, a valve, a column. Each is made in four steps: a request from the design team and the choice of category, setting the levels of detail, modelling the geometry from manufacturers' catalogues, and filling it with parameters — article number, weight, material, cost. The STMK team builds a basic element in 30 minutes and a complex plant item in about an hour.

BIM
A sensible balance between model detail and design speed
Excessive model detail is not a mark of quality but a hidden enemy of efficiency: files grow heavy and cannot be opened on site. STMK splits the project into zones with different levels of development: services are modelled at LOD 200—300, where overall size and position matter, while the frame and its reinforcement go to LOD 350—400, where detail produces an accurate estimate and a node the site manager can read on a tablet.

A BIM navigator: where to start and which software to choose
Moving to BIM is not a software purchase but a change of thinking. There is no single perfect program: ARCHICAD is strong in architecture, Revit in multidisciplinary models, Navisworks brings the disciplines together and finds clashes, Tekla Structures handles complex load-bearing structures. Start with the logic of the data, not the position of the buttons.

BIM technology in plain words
BIM is building information modelling: instead of flat drawings, an exact virtual copy of the object is created, where every element carries real properties. Moving a window in the model updates all related drawings, schedules and estimates automatically, and clashes between services and structures are found in the office rather than on site. STMK uses BIM for design and discipline coordination.
