The use of technology advancements such as tablets and iPads allows our teams to plan and supervise on the go. Productivity and schedules are increased, producing a measurable gain in efficiency and cost-reduction, and keeping us mindful of the customer’s time and money.
A list of the services and expertise we offer include:
3-D site logistics planning – Assisting in site traffic flow, deliveries, field office placement and pedestrian impact.
Prefabrication opportunities – The prefabrication of key assemblies in a controlled environment that is later brought to the job site for installation increases productivity on-site and decreases the potential for defects.
Virtual Mock-ups – Enable all team members to visualize key components and areas of building prior to the space or assembly being constructed. This assists in key design and client decisions.
Clash Detection/Assembly Coordination – Allows us to coordinate trades and flow of work prior to starting the project. We know early in design about any electrical, structural or mechanical conflicts, and they are resolved before the first shovel of dirt is turned.
Utilizing the virtual design and construction process improves planning and communication, which in turn positively influences safety, cost and quality on our projects.
Understanding the Evolution of BIM
Building information modeling has changed everything about how we handle construction projects and what started as simple 3D modeling in the early 2000s has grown into something much bigger.
BIM services touch every part of the building process, and the numbers back this up. With the market heading toward $15 billion by 2027, it’s clear that BIM isn’t just another tech trend. It’s reshaping how we build, and you’ll need to adapt to stay competitive.
How BIM Improves Your Construction Management
Your role as a virtual design and construction specialist means that you can see the value of BIM firsthand and building information modeling construction puts everything in one place. There’s no more running between different systems or trying to put information together.
You can catch problems before they cost you time and money on-site. Plus, with everything in the cloud, your team stays connected whether they’re in the office or in the field.
BIM and Collaboration: How BIM Creates Collaboration
You’ve probably spent a ton of time trying to get everyone on the same page and building information modeling construction makes this much simpler. We can use the model along with 360 photo captures to compare work in place to the design intent.
This helps field crews visualize finished spaces in the building to determine routing for structural, MEP, or other components that will be hidden behind building finishes.
The 360 photo capture provides more detailed as-builts rather than how the facility was originally designed. Mechanical subcontractors often catch ductwork clashes months before installation, turning what used to be expensive field fixes into quick model adjustments.
Future Trends in Building Information Modeling Services
AI and machine learning make BIM even more powerful which helps you to quickly find any issues. You can save time and money by virtually testing changes using the iTwin platform. IoT sensors feed data back to your models so you’ll know exactly what’s happening on your site at all times.
What Works in BIM: Learning from Actual Projects
The Korea Institute of Construction Technology’s project shows how BIM virtual design and construction is helpful by connecting their building model with their facility management system and the results speak for themselves.
Making better decisions during construction results in smooth operations after completion. It’s a perfect example of how BIM doesn’t just help during construction but it makes the whole building work better.
Benefits of BIM
These are the main benefits of BIM services:
More Accuracy and Less Errors: By creating detailed 3D models, BIM helps find any problems early in the design phase which lowers your chances of expensive reworks.
Enhanced Visualization: BIM provides realistic visualizations of projects that helps stakeholders better understand the design and make the best possible decisions.
Cost and Time Savings: BIM improves project scheduling, layout, and cost estimation. Once that BIM model is created, trades can utilize it in conjunction with a total station or robotics to lay out their work in the field saving time and reducing errors.
Lifecycle Management: BIM doesn’t stop being useful once construction wraps up. Your data collection will help you manage the building smarter for years, even after construction is done.
