Smarter Processes. Stronger Outcomes.

This FAQ explains what BIM is and what it enables throughout an architectural project — from the first idea to design, construction, and long-term value.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a digital process that allows a building to be designed, visualized, analyzed, and documented using a single intelligent 3D model. Unlike traditional drawings, a BIM model contains geometry, materials, quantities, costs, and technical information, all connected and coordinated.

Traditional design is based on 2D drawings that are updated manually. BIM uses a 3D intelligent model, where:
  • All plans, sections, elevations, and details come from the same model
  • Any change is automatically updated everywhere
  • Errors and inconsistencies are drastically reduced
This results in better coordination, fewer surprises, and more reliable cost and time control.

We work with Autodesk Revit, one of the leading BIM platforms worldwide. Revit allows us to:
  • Develop precise architectural, structural, and technical models
  • Coordinate all disciplines in one environment
  • Generate accurate drawings, schedules, and quantities
  • Support construction and future building management

BIM allows you to:
  • Clearly understand the project before it is built
  • Make informed decisions early
  • Control costs and risks
  • Reduce design errors and construction changes
  • Increase the long-term value of your investment

For a private house, BIM allows you to:
  • See your house in 3D from the earliest design stage
  • Explore different layouts, materials, and design options
  • Understand areas, volumes, and spatial quality
  • Reduce construction mistakes and unexpected costs

Yes. BIM allows us to create realistic 3D views and visualizations so you can fully understand the design, proportions, and spaces before construction begins.

Factories and industrial buildings involve complex requirements such as:
  • Machinery layout
  • Technical systems
  • Workflow efficiency
  • Safety and regulations
BIM helps by:
  • Coordinating architecture, structure, and MEP systems
  • Avoiding clashes between equipment and building elements
  • Optimizing space, circulation, and future expansion

BIM provides:
  • Accurate quantities and material take-offs
  • Better planning and sequencing
  • Reduced errors and rework on site
  • Clear communication between all stakeholders

Yes. By detecting conflicts early and improving planning, BIM significantly reduces:
  • Change orders
  • Material waste
  • Delays caused by design errors

BIM benefits everyone involved:
  • Clients gain clarity and control
  • Architects design more efficiently
  • Constructors build with fewer risks
  • Investors protect and enhance their assets
