// BIM (Building Information Modelling) & Drafting
What is BIM?
A Building Information Model (BIM) serves as a digital representation of the tangible and operational attributes of a project, encompassing architectural dimensions, spatial correlations, geographical data, and the specifics of building elements. In the context of this presentation, we will commonly refer to this as the "Model" or "Models."
How we use BIM.
At THE STRUCTURAL FIRM, the incorporation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is fundamental to our operational approach. We wholeheartedly embrace the Integrated Project Delivery method as an industry standard across all our projects. BIM serves as the backbone of our design and documentation processes, demonstrating its capacity to seamlessly integrate and foster collaboration among a diverse array of disciplines when wielded effectively.
"....BIM serves as the backbone of our design and documentation processes...."
BIM, when harnessed correctly, bestows a profound comprehension of intricate construction challenges, allowing for their resolution well before they manifest as real-world issues. This, in turn, leads to a reduction in site Requests for Information (RFIs) and empowers both clients and builders with a more comprehensive understanding and visualization of the project's intricacies.
Our internal operations have reaped substantial advantages in the realms of communication, decision-making, precision, and inter-disciplinary cooperation. As part of our commitment to delivering meticulously coordinated projects, we actively encourage the exchange of BIM files with external consultants.
The benefits of BIM, cultivated during the design phase, extend their impact on-site, resulting in notable time and cost savings.
The data encapsulated within our BIM files serves both internal and external purposes, including
The successful execution of BIM on any project will have the added benefit of saved valuable time and money on site.
