Building Information Modeling
SERVICES / Building Information Modeling
Building design has moved into a new era with BIM allowing Architects, Engineers and Contractors to collaboratively work together and create a process that brings a better design and more efficient construction process. The sharing of data among the project team members can lead to benefits for everybody involved including:
More projects delivered on-time and within budget
Higher quality of construction
Greater transparency throughout the life of the project which means less risk for the Owner
Reduces errors and eliminates conflicts caused by uncoordinated drawings
Design visualization and scope clarification
Off-site fabrication of building components resulting in less downtime and an accelerated schedule
Higher reliability in expected field conditions
Reduction in late RFIs and potential change orders
We offer complete Building Information Modeling services including:
Design Authoring Services - have the ability to create the architectural and structural model if the Designer has not created one for the Project to be used for construction purposes
3D Coordination - digital plans can be merged to highlight areas of conflict between systems/materials
4D Scheduling (construction sequence planning) - the element of time can be linked to the model to create a visual construction sequence plan
5D Cost Estimation - the BIM model can be linked to a Cost Estimation program which can read the quantities of materials included in the design model and assign a potential cost to these elements
Design Visualization - 3D views help clarify the design intent (mock-ups and renderings)
Record Modeling/Facility Management - digital copy of the building's BIM is shared with the Owner and Facility Manager
BIM 360 Field - collaborative construction management software which enables access to the project data throughout the building construction lifecycle
Our list of software includes: Autodesk Revit, Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Navisworks, Autodesk Quantity Take-Off, BIM 360 Field, BIM 360 Glue, SketchUp, Synchro and Bluebeam Revu
