BIM for Construction

  

Experience It Before It's Real

CADD Centers has a proven track record of helping customers implement Autodesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions. Through the integrated BIM process, architects, engineers, builders, and owners have the ability to explore a project's key physical and functional characteristics digitally - before it's built. This allows them to design, analyze, document, and deliver designs from the conceptual phase through the construction phase, and beyond. By using coordinated, data-rich information models, all members of a project can contribute to its success through improved accuracy, less waste, and the ability to make informed decisions earlier in the process.

The Autodesk approach to BIM provides a broad portfolio of integrated, state-of-the-art applications that help deliver projects faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact. Through comprehensive training and support, CADD Centers helps you leverage BIM to truly experience your ideas before they're real.

SmartBIM

Through an in-depth SmartBIM Object Creation Services, BPMs can rely on Reed to create high-quality, real world objects with embedded quality data (RSMeans). In addition, we've made it easy for architects to manage these manufacturer specific objects as well as generic objects in Revit within the SmartBIM Library.


BIM is becoming the foundation of building design, visualization studies, contract documents, analysis, simulation and facilities management. Autodesk Revit is the dominant BIM authoring application and Revit's market penetration into architectural firms is occurring three times faster than the market penetration of 2D CAD in the 1980s. In the next few years, the majority of all projects will be modeled in Revit.

High-quality, need-specific, and re-usable BIM content will be an enabling factor for successful BIM-based projects and the use of BIM downstream of design. However, developing and managing objects introduces new challenges for design firms because of the need to represent 3D geometry and encode other kinds of information. The cost and resources needed to develop objects can detract from designing and delivering buildings, which is the core focus of an architectural firm.
