Featured Project
How we help our clients: Turning stakeholder insight into a clear path for BIM success by identifying goals and uses through targeted surveys and workshops.
This project will create a toolkit to explain how to use Building Information Management (BIM) to help users better choose how to apply this process. The toolkit will also outline how to use standard language to specify requirements making them easy to understand for the entire project team, resulting in a more efficient construction process and better digital data being delivered to the owner.
3 Key Goals:
- Develop tools: Create practical explainers, checklist, sample language for requests for proposals and contract documents and user-friendly solutions. These will guide BM use before and during construction and for operations and maintenance.
- Clarify costs and effort: Explain the level of effort and costs of using Building Information Management.
- Establish digital workflows: define digital workflow process that supports the entire lifecycle of a housing project, from capital planning to end of life.
