Building Information Modeling is the virtual representation of a building that contains many
layers of pertinent data, and has multiple uses including coordination, scheduling, quantities,
and life cycle management. The benefits of BIM include improved efficiency, better design
team coordination, enhanced client communications, interoperability with analysis models,
and greater design flexibility. These benefits translate into higher design quality, decreased
design cycle time, and fewer coordination problems in the field.
Because the virtual model contains actual member sizes and intelligent parametric objects,
interdiscipline coordination is easy to check with available features such as clash detection
and monitoring tools.
Structural Information Modeling (SIM) is tailored for structural work. Our models contain pure
structural information that is vital to our design and analytical needs as well as the needs of
fabricators and contractors.
