BIM describes the process of designing a building by collectively using one coherent system rather than as separate sets of drawings. Building Information Models serve as the hub for document management, design collaboration, and coordination.

It’s best to think of BIM as a better way of managing project information in a shared repository. It starts with the intelligence gathering and design phases and continues throughout the construction phase into operations.
BIM starts with the creation of 3D architectural models using tools like Autodesk’s AutoCAD and Revit then integrates other plans and designs from various AEC design disciplines (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection) and software (Plant 3D, Revit MEP, BIM modules).
Clients leverage our consulting and back-office services for their VDC projects to validate designs. During each coordination meeting, the team modifies the base model to reflect design changes indicated by the project lead.
Our team members then complete clash detection analysis and revise the design model. Once modifications are verified by the client, revisions are merged into the federated model.
