Building Information Modelling (BIM) & Scanning
- Building Information Modelling is a digital model representing the physical building. The model contains properties such as architectural detail, structural information and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems.
- Having all this detail in one place allows greater collaboration between contractors throughout the cycle of the build which helps both efficiency and cost.
- Laser scanning is ideal in retrofit and refurbishment projects. Scanning the existing stripped out building provides the basis for the BIM model going forward.
- Scanning can then be carried out at regular intervals to understand if the project is on track by providing as built information to check against the proposed design model.
