a look at building information modeling (bim)

Our industry is rapidly incorporating 3-D digital modeling. Designing smart with Building Information Modeling (BIM)—a form of 3-D digital modeling and asset management—greatly improves the project delivery process. And Walter P Moore is leading the way with real-world BIM successes on more than 70 projects that range from single-story structures to a one-million-square-foot, 70-story tower.

Among BIM's many advantages are enhanced collaboration among participants, improved cost reliability and shortened construction schedules. Our BIM capabilities also offer our clients the following advantages:

  • Owner, Architect, Structural, Civil, MEP and Contractor can participate in the BIM process, resulting in improved collaboration among participants, prior to the start of construction.
  • 3-D visualization offers better understanding of the design and the opportunity to quickly study multiple options.
  • Interferences between discipline elements contained in the BIM can be seen and eliminated early in design.
  • RFIs and field rework can be substantially reduced.

 

 

  • Cost reliability is improved.
  • BIM makes available reference material quantities for the contractor and cost estimator.
  • The BIM design package can be used downstream in facility management.
