BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
Miller Davis offers Building Information Modeling (BIM), which adds value throughout the entire life cycle of a construction project and beyond (facility maintenance and management). BIM assists with the development of conceptual estimates and the simulation of your project’s construction and operation. We listen to your requirements, ask pertinent questions and deliver meaningful results. With state-of-the-art technology, this in-depth process helps minimize costs, avoid clashes in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and allow the team to make informed decisions from inception through occupancy.
In addition to fostering a team atmosphere when making decisions, BIM allows our owners to have real-time collaborative sessions to evaluate project options. This collaborative approach has become an integral part of our building process.
Benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Visualization
With virtual walkthroughs, we provide our owners with visuals of their completed facility long before construction is completed. This allows them to conceive what their project will look like and make informed design decisions to ensure the end product meets their needs.
Cost Estimating
Through virtual construction, Miller Davis maintains control over a project’s budget and costs. By linking project costs to the model, our owners can make informed decisions when evaluating material selections, providing an instant snapshot of how each change will affect the project’s overall budget.
Field Coordination
BIM assists our project team in streamlining construction operations in the field. The virtual model helps us coordinate construction documents and activities. It also allows us to identify sequencing and access issues and better manage project quality, the pace of work, and jobsite safety.
Facilities Management
The virtual model is useful not only during construction but throughout the facility’s life. We can integrate relevant building data and documents into the model, which provides a detailed guide to your facility. Owners feel empowered to make informed decisions regarding operations and maintenance, energy management and construction and renovation programs.
Miller Davis’ in-house virtual construction team supports all of our projects. Our extensive construction expertise and our internal virtual modeling make ua a trusted partner for your project.
