Building Information Modeling (BIM)
One of our key strengths has always been the ability to shorten the production
schedule and expose hidden and potentially costly building confl icts. Using Building
information Modeling (BIM), we can review constructability and fully coordinate by
generating a 3D model of the project accounting for Architectural, Structural and all
MEP services. BIM can reduce installation time by months, by making information
more readily available. It’s especially helpful with mechanical/electrical clearance issue,
which is increasingly an area of concern. Th us maximizing effi ciency, reducing waste
and most importantly risk.
• Our BIM process is extensive in its own right:

• Standards. Every success story starts off with a well thought out plan. Our
BIM Execution Plan, BIM Specifi cation and Level of Development (LOD)
Matrix includes the requirements for all projects utilizing BIM, but also
provides framework to determine project specifi c BIM goals, processes and
protocols.
• Clash detection. Th roughout the BIM process, we run multiple “clash
detection” analyses to prevent confl ict between trades during installation.
• Integration. During Preconstruction, our BIM team will review the Design
Model for completeness, accuracy and constructability and assist the team in
the resolution of any clashes exposed during this analysis.
• Instructions to Bidders/Coordination. Prior to construction, detailed
Instructions to Bidders are crafted defi ning a BIM specifi c scope for
each trade streamlining coordination. Our BIM team will integrate the
Architectural “Design” model with the subcontractor’s trade models to create
a “Construction” model by which the building is constructed. Th is model
is maintained throughout the duration of the project incorporating Owner
changes and fi eld conditions.
• Owner deliverables. At project completion, the “Construction” model is
turned over to the Owner as a deliverable with the option to have links within
the model to O&M data and 360 x 180 spherical photography for use as an
FM tool.
