Layer by layer, BIM and VDC strengthen your project
Employ virtual design and construction (VDC) techniques like building information modeling (BIM) to streamline and refine your project.
Identify snags before they happen. Sidestep field conflicts and tighten your schedule. BIM and VDC allow you to plan every facet of your project with pinpoint accuracy.
BIM/Revit Management
We’ll manage your BIM/Revit project, ensuring every player knows their role, and can collaborate with others on a shared model. Coordinate trades, balance HVAC, and find problems before breaking ground.
3D modeling of existing buildings
Supercharge your retrofit or facilities management with a 3D model of the existing structure. Find access points and map building services. Add information tags like room temperature range or renter details. Capture every snippet of data about your building in one sharable model.
BIM construction coordination
Fine-tune every part of your construction phase, down to the perfect blade position for achieving a target grade. BIM for construction coordination goes beyond trade scheduling to address the nitty-gritty details of the construction phase.
3D building scans
Record every detail of your building — structural and architectural components, MEP features, plus underground utility and concrete markings*. Use your 3D scan to compare design models against real work conditions.
*Laser scanning is line of site only. Underground or in-wall systems cannot be identified.
BIM and VDC — a project management masterstroke
Costly fumbles and shattered timelines don’t have to be “business as usual”. Ensure a smoother, smarter project from concept phase to completion with BIM and VDC.

Yes, we’re happy to provide BIM and VDC in a third-party capacity, whether we’re involved in the larger project or not.
BIM benefits everyone on the project, so in the AEC industry, there’s a growing consensus that everyone should help bear the cost.
Funding sources will depend on who commissions BIM and how it will be used throughout the project.
A 2D conversion simply converts a traditional 2D CAD file into a 3D model. To do this, a modeler traces the original drawing in an object-based modeling program.
