Building Information Modeling (BIM)

New technology is now making it possible for our architects and construction managers to better communicate their concepts to clients and to provide better coordinated documents, improving the client's ability to visualize the project much earlier in the process and minimizing conflicts and changes. Facility Design Group is at the forefront of implementing this new technology.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology allows Facility Design Group architects and engineers to visually walk clients through the conceptual design during the early stages of the design process. BIM is a revolutionary innovation that allows data about the project to be entered into a computerized, three-dimensional model, creating, in effect, a complete, virtual building that can be easily understood by both designers and clients.

The benefits of this technology, in addition to providing a mechanism to communicate design concepts to clients (and other team members) quickly and effectively, also includes the ability to automatically identify conflicts between disciplines. If all architectural and engineering data reside within a single three-dimensional model, the computer will point out where two virtual objects occupy the same point in space. Conflicts and errors are expected to be dramatically reduced utilizing BIM.
