Anything Is Possible With BIM Companies

Building Information Modelling is one of the primary challenges and purposes of modern architecture - not just the need to know how a completed structure will work, but also the means by which that question can be answered. Whereas a two-dimensional blueprint might provide the plans from which the physical building itself can be raised, BIM companies can set this into a real-world context, allowing the designer to understand how the premises will operate over time, the costs they will incur, and so on.

In this way, BIM companies do more than just provide an insight into the construction process itself, but can model the usable lifecycle of the building once it is occupied or inhabited, whether that is by residential owners or tenants, or by commercial and industrial users, or even by members of the public passing through a station, airport, hospital or some other public building. These latter types of property are arguably those in greatest need of accurate modelling, due to the very large numbers of people who might pass through their doors, often for the first time and with little to no familiarity with the layout of the interior, or of the services and amenities available inside.

For proof of how the scale of a structure impacts the need for careful planning, you need only look at the work undertaken by our UAE offices, which regularly advise on some of the most prestigious and ambitious projects currently taking place anywhere in the world. As one of the region's leading BIM company we have polished our provision of services in the area, to be able to give architects and local construction firms the information they need about any planned building, from the precise size of its physical footprint to the materials required to build it, and the costs that are likely to be involved.

Where BIM companies are consulted in advance, the possibilities are all but limitless, as the virtual world of CAD software can be used to simulate the finished structure without any expenditure on materials and labour. Different design elements can be compared to see which works best, whether in artistic and aesthetic terms, or purely from the engineering angle of wanting to construct the world's tallest building, or to maximise the habitable space available in a high-rise tower with a minimal physical footprint on the ground.
