We at E Construction believe that building information modeling (BIM) is the future of construction. This belief has lead us to invest heavily into BIM. We host a full service BIM department that can provide the following:
BUILDING MODEL CREATION
Our BIM Department boasts the ability to create building information models of all disciplines of the job in house. Using Revit Architecture, MEP and Structure, we can create our models from the construction documents or receive and manipulate the models from the design team. During this process we attach all essential information into the building model to help facilitate the construction process.

CLASH DETECTION ANALYSIS
Using the building information model, we run a spatial conflict test to see if any of the design will cause delays in the field. Running this type of analysis during the design phase has been proven to cut design rework down to .2% of its original value and provide a 30% increase in productivity of the mechanical contractor.

QUANTITY ESTIMATES
Having a highly detailed model allows us to produce accurate quantity estimates of the virtual project. Being able to pull these estimates within minutes allows us to provide more detailed scopes to our subcontractors which gives us more accurate estimates.

FIELD COLLABORATION USING BIM
We have the ability to send our building information models into the field so that our superintendents and subcontractors can both benefit from the use of BIM. Having the building information model in the field, allows our team to more accurately communicate and collaborate with subcontractors to help ensure a more productive environment and ultimately create a more quality product.

FOUR-DIMENSIONAL SCHEDULING
Once we create our schedule, we can then attach the schedule timeline to the building model. With the timeline attached to the building model, we can produce a time lapse simulation of the proposed schedule. This simulation allows us to collaborate better with our clients due to providing a visual schedule. Also this process helps to reduce any project delays due to improper construction thus allowing us to adhere to tighter schedules and budgets.

VIRTUAL POST CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
When handing over the physical building at the end of the construction process, we can also hand over our virtual model for use by our clients building management. We can create our virtual models to host any level of information needed by the client for post construction management. Also, we are in the process of developing our own application for our clients that will allow them to do away with having to store drawings and O&M manuals, instead just using our building information models to access any of the building’s information.
