Our engineers use BIM technologies and processes for joint design of buildings, infrastructure facilities and complexes. All design data is stored in a three-dimensional computer model available to all interested parties. The model includes all physical and functional characteristics of the project, such as structure, geometry, aesthetics, materials, systems, and dynamic performance. Adding a time component makes the model four-dimensional, and with cost information five-dimensional.

BIM can be used at various stages of the project life cycle, from design and construction to operation and dismantling. A high level of BIM implementation provides improved risk management, significant productivity gains, reduced construction timelines, and significant cost savings throughout the project life cycle. During design and construction, our team can analyze alternatives, identify problems and solve potential problems before they occur in real life. This significantly reduces risk while saving time and money.

BIM enables the constant exchange of information between architects, engineers, specialists, developers, contractors and other parties, helping teams make informed decisions faster. BIM helps owners make decisions in the early stages of project development and can also be used to identify clashes and eliminate spatial conflicts, such as areas where electrical and HVAC designs require equipment to occupy the same space.
BIM can even model the movement of the sun to aid in daylighting studies and solar panel optimization. At the construction stage, BIM allows you to quickly respond to changes in the project or problems on site, supports planning and cost management. BIM allows to assess construction conditions; set up and communicate construction sequence and contractor schedule; generate lists of materials and specifications; and establish delivery schedules and logistics.
