BIM is a process of utilizing information within a three-dimensional model, which enables the improvement of the design process. The BIM methodology encompasses a set of tools, the latest technologies, and unconventional solutions, which effectively transform the work of design offices.

Benefits of BIM

Implementing BIM methodology in a design office simplifies and optimizes the design process, allowing for testing multiple variations and configurations in a 3D model. With design, detailing, and documentation tools, BIM helps construction engineers collaborate with design teams to optimize and automate their projects, ensuring greater accuracy and correctness while reducing risk.

Enhancement of Design Workflow

  • Automation of repetitive design processes
  • Ability to test multiple variations during the design phase
  • Unified design processes for multiple teams
  • Efficient flow of information and communication
  • Quick access to information
  • Centralized source of data

Effective Planning and Utilization

  • Cost and quantity estimation of materials
  • Project process management
  • Integrated collaboration of all design teams
  • Project lifecycle monitoring

Cost Reduction

  • Efficient collaboration among design teams
  • Early detection of risks and clashes
  • Better cost control and schedule management
  • Reduction of delays and errors

Digitization brings many benefits to a design office, starting with tangible improvements in efficiency and work quality, real cost reductions, increased collaboration flexibility, and culminating in enhanced competitiveness and building the company’s image. The transformation itself, as a strategic decision, requires preparation of an action plan, selection of appropriate tools, budgeting, and scheduling. However, the entire process begins with setting goals and visualizing how your design office can appear, function, and grow when embracing the digital side of business. Our specialists will support you at each of these stages.
