For Contractors
Consultants & General Contractors
Consultants & GC's use virtual models for calculation, simulation, quantity take-offs, constructability reviews, risk control and much more.
Ask us how you can make use of the model, how your up-front work can be made easier, improving processes outcomes.

Collaboration: Is the Architect's Model of any Value to me?
Are you calculating the energy usage or the acoustical integrity of a building? Do you need a model for your software? Ask the architect or modeler what you need. If he/she knows beforehand they can set-up and prepare a model accordingly.
And if you use an IFC compliant application (OpenBIM), you can freely exchange and collaborate with the provider and have a great base model for your calculations.

Estimator: How to calculate your BIM ?
How about pulling "data" from your model ? Or pulling quickly reports for quantities of materials or all the equipment in the project (= Take-Offs)?
The BIM model is a database. It does not only deliver window and door schedules. It delivers everything you entered. Properly set up, you easily can extract wall types, SF of roof surfaces or floor finishes or even the total of all the GWB sheets you need for you project.

GC: Constructability Review !
Can this project actually be build the way it's drawn? Do you have all necessary information, drawings, specs. etc. you need? Are those documents coherent or do they have missing or conflicting information?
If you model (= simulate) the proposed building (or even detail) 'virtually' before you start digging you will quickly find out, if the information you have is sufficient, inaccurate, or conflicting.
