Right now, the one that’s having the most impact for us is building information modeling (BIM), virtual design and construction. By using multi-dimensional computer modeling, BIM can save significant time and money and reduce errors.

Over the past decade, Building Information Modeling (“BIM”) – computerized 3D portrayal of integrated building elements that allows a project or project subset to be built virtually before being built in the field – has become prolific in commercial construction. This is not your father’s CAD system.

While photos and drawings can offer a small glimpse of an overall site, it can be challenging to visualize and understand how all elements relate to one another. We gather the data points to create a 3D model that we can show clients and design team members to help visually communicate the challenges and how we can help solve them.
