Modelled. Drawn.
Coordinated. Delivered.

Interior, architectural, structural and MEP models — plus the shop drawings, IFC sets and as-built records that come out of them, and the coordination and standards work that keeps them buildable. For contractors and design studios across the Gulf, Southeast Asia and the UK — engaged by the package or by the seat.

about the studio

a studio run by people
who have built the models

Apex Digital Engineering Studio Co. is a specialist BIM and digital engineering practice based in Makati. We work as an extension of contractors and design teams delivering complex international projects — producing the models, the drawings and the coordination that keep those projects buildable.

How we are set up

We are a production studio, not a body shop. Every engagement is run by a named lead who holds the standards, the model health and the delivery programme — the same person you meet at kick-off is the one answering your RFI in month nine.

Our working day overlaps the Gulf almost entirely and hands finished work to European clients each morning. That is why most of our work has come from repeat engagements and referral rather than tender.

modelling

four disciplines,
one model that agrees with itself

Every discipline is authored in-house to the same standards, naming and shared coordinates — so the federated model behaves like a single project rather than four files that happen to sit in the same folder.

ID

Interior design BIM

Fit-out models that carry real finishes, joinery and FF&E data — ready for pricing, procurement and handover, not just for pretty views.

  • Finishes, ceilings and partition build-ups
  • Bespoke joinery and millwork families
  • FF&E scheduling with asset parameters
  • Room data sheets and LOIN compliance
AR

Architectural BIM

Concept through construction documentation, with the model as the single source for drawings, schedules and quantities.

  • Core, shell and envelope modelling
  • Sheet sets and construction documentation
  • Area, door, window and finish schedules
  • Scan-to-BIM and existing-condition models
ST

Structural BIM

Frame, slab and foundation models built to coordinate cleanly with architecture and services from the first federation.

  • Concrete, steel and composite framing
  • Rebar detailing and connection modelling
  • Penetrations and builder's work openings
  • Quantity take-off and material schedules
MEP

MEP BIM

Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and fire services modelled with real routing, real clearances and real installation sequence in mind.

  • HVAC, ductwork and plantroom layouts
  • Electrical containment and distribution
  • Hydraulics, drainage and fire services
  • Spool drawings and prefabrication models
bim coordination & clash detection

clashes closed out in the model,
not argued about on site

We run the federation, the clash tests and the coordination meetings — then chase every issue to closure with a named owner and a date. A clash report nobody actions is just a PDF.

Clash matrix — round 04

Every discipline pair tested on a fixed weekly cycle.

ID AR ST MEP ID — 0 0 2 AR 0 — 0 1 ST 0 0 — 0 MEP 2 1 0 —
resolved open this round

Issue register

Owner, due date and evidence of closure against each item.

#0412 Duct crosses transfer beam, grid E/4 closed
#0417 Sprinkler main below ceiling zone, L03 in review
#0421 Joinery conflicts with FCU access panel open
#0423 Cable tray clearance under slab soffit open
#0408 Riser opening missing in structural model closed
weekly federation + clash cycle closure evidence attached to each issue reports issued in Navisworks, Solibri or Revizto

We chair the coordination meeting

Agenda, live model walkthrough, decisions recorded against issue numbers, and an action list out the same day. Consultants leave knowing exactly what they own.

Tolerance and priority, agreed up front

Clash rules are tuned to the project — clearance zones, insulation allowances and maintenance access — so the register shows real problems instead of thousands of false hits.

common data environment

your ACC, set up
and actually maintained

Most projects buy Autodesk Construction Cloud and then use it as a shared drive. We stand up the folder structure, permissions, naming and approval workflow to ISO 19650 — then keep running it, week after week, so the CDE stays trustworthy.

Structure & permissions

ISO 19650 states, mirrored in the folder tree and access rules.

the standards work
nobody has time for

Before a single wall is modelled, someone has to decide how the project will handle information. We write it, agree it with the team, and then hold everyone to it.

01

BEP & standards

Pre- and post-appointment BIM Execution Plans, EIRs, responsibility matrices and the Master Information Delivery Plan behind them.

02

LOD & LOIN management

Geometry and information requirements defined per element, per stage — then audited in the model so the data promised is the data delivered.

03

Model audits & health

Scheduled interrogation of warnings, file size, worksets, naming and parameter completeness — with a report that says what to fix and why it matters.

04

Material take-off

Quantities read straight from the model — areas, volumes, counts and material schedules — so cost planning works from the same geometry everyone else is building from.

05

Classification & data

Every element carrying the codes and parameters the asset team will actually need — Uniclass or OmniClass, asset groups, and structured handover data.

06

BIM automation

Dynamo and scripted routines for the repetitive work — batch parameter writes, sheet generation, renaming and model audits — so the team spends its hours on judgement.

drawing production

the model is only half of it.
someone has to draw it.

Most of our work ends as sheets a contractor can build from — shop drawings, IFC sets, authority submissions and as-built records, extracted from a coordinated model rather than drafted in isolation.

SD

Shop drawings

Fabrication and installation-ready sheets for interior fit-out, architectural, structural and M&E packages — produced at volume and tracked against the drawing register.

  • Plans, sections, elevations and details
  • Setting-out and dimensional control
  • Finishes, materials and tolerances
  • Revision cycles against consultant comments
IFC

IFC drawing development

Issued-for-construction sets that carry the design intent into buildable documentation, with structural and MEP integration resolved before issue.

  • Architectural layouts and partitioning
  • Structural integration and alignment
  • MEP routing coordinated against fit-out
  • Dimensions, finishes and material call-outs
AB

As-built & LOD 500

Record documentation and fully detailed as-built models reflecting what was actually built — with asset tagging for facility management handover.

  • Redline markup and RFI incorporation
  • As-built drawing production at volume
  • LOD 500 model to final construction dimensions
  • Asset tagging for maintainable elements
VIZ

Authority sets & visualisation

Authority submission drawings extracted straight from the model, plus photorealistic renders for design sign-off and client presentation.

  • Layout, partition, RCP and flooring plans
  • General cross and longitudinal sections
  • Export to DWG, PDF and DWF
  • High-resolution 3D render views

Dedicated BIM resourcing

Prefer to run the work yourself? Engage a named Revit, structural or MEP draftsman on an hourly retainer with a guaranteed minimum of eight hours a day, a weekly report of hours and tasks, and monthly invoicing — no recruitment, no overhead.

Working hours that overlap yours

Our studio runs 9am–6pm Philippine time (GMT+8), which overlaps the Gulf working day and gives European clients finished work waiting each morning. We already deliver into the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the Philippines.

who we work with

we work for the people
who carry the risk

Our engagements come from main contractors, fit-out specialists and design studios delivering under real programme pressure. Client names are held in confidence — the work speaks through the projects, not the letterhead.

Tier-1 main contractors

UAE · KSA

Federated coordination, authority submissions and construction documentation on large-scale hospitality and mixed-use developments, working alongside the contractor's own BIM team.

Fit-out & interiors specialists

UAE · KSA

High-volume shop drawing production, IFC development and LOD 500 as-built delivery on luxury residential, villa, F&B and hotel fit-out packages.

Architecture & design studios

UK · UAE

Dedicated Revit and structural drafting resource embedded in the studio's own workflow on an hourly retainer — capacity that scales with the workload instead of the headcount.

M&E and specialist contractors

SG · PH

Services modelling, fire protection packages and coordinated builder's work drawings for contractors delivering commercial and office projects in Southeast Asia.

how we work

a delivery process
you can see through

The same five stages on every engagement, whether we are modelling one fit-out level or running coordination across an entire consultant team.

One cycle, every engagement

  1. 01
    Understand

    Scope, deliverables, LOD and LOIN, software and exchange formats fixed in writing before work starts.

  2. 02
    Develop

    Templates, shared coordinates, worksets and naming stood up, then discipline modelling in weekly increments.

  3. 03
    Coordinate

    Federation, clash rounds, issue register and coordination meetings until the register is clean.

  4. 04
    Deliver

    Audited models, drawings, schedules and asset data issued in native and IFC/COBie formats.

  5. 05
    Support

    As-built updates, revisions and model maintenance as the project keeps changing on site.

careers

build your career
on real projects

We hire modellers and coordinators who want their work to end up on site rather than in a portfolio. If you can hold a standard and read a drawing set, we want to hear from you.

International work from day one
Gulf, Southeast Asia and UK projects — not local back-office overflow.
The full Autodesk toolchain
Revit, Navisworks, Construction Cloud and Dynamo, kept current.
Mentorship, not a ticket queue
You work under a named project lead who stays with the job to handover.

No open roles at the moment

We're not recruiting right now, but we'd still like to see your work. Send your CV and a sample of your modelling or drawing output to info@apexstudio.ph and we'll keep it on file — we come back to that file first when a seat opens up.

Please don't send client-confidential files. A personal or academic project tells us everything we need to know.
