Building information modelling

Building information modelling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. It is changing how buildings, infrastructure and utilities are planned, designed, built and managed.

BIM is changing the construction industry and is recognised by the UK Government as the most effective way to drive efficiency, delivery and use in building design.

Benefits of BIM for your project:

• better visualisation of designs at an early stage helping to get the design right first time and avoid expensive variations
• greater certainty and predictability of time, cost and quality
• lower design fees and construction costs as a result of better understanding and spatial coordination and better construction and project management
• quicker, more consistent and easier coordination of design documentation.

We can provide your company with expert BIM consultancy to help you to be more effective, to better collaborate with your clients and to win more business.
