Building Information Modelling - Stage 2

Facilitating teams to quickly understand what they are building, alongside resolving potential issues, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a collaborative process centred around an intelligent 3D model that provides the insight and tools to efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage our clients’ assets.

Embracing collaboration and teamwork we see huge benefits as a result of working to BIM philosophy. These include design co-ordination, increased health and safety through virtual build and visualisation, and improved costs by quantity extraction from the model to assist pricing and efficiently manage the impacts of design change.
