Features:

  • BIM technology was utilized to improve collaboration and communication among project stakeholders, including engineers, contractors, and owners. This digital approach fostered enhanced coordination and reduced errors, leading to more efficient use of resources and streamlined decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. By leveraging BIM technology, we achieved effective clash detection and coordination among different building systems (mechanical, electrical, structural, etc.) prior to construction. This proactive approach allowed us to identify and resolve conflicts virtually, significantly reducing the need for on-site rework, minimizing material waste, and enhancing energy efficiency.
