Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling

The Future of the Industry is BIM

Kal-Blue 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, Kal-Blue helps you leverage BIM to truly experience your ideas before they’re real.

Architecture

BIM helps architects stay competitive in an increasingly complex business climate by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of a building before it’s built. It enables the creation of more sustainable, accurate designs with fewer errors and less waste, which can result in higher profits and more satisfied clients. And through the delivery of reliable, coordinated building information, BIM helps architects collaborate with team members more easily.

MEP Engineering

BIM gives mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering professionals the ability to better predict the outcome of their systems before they are built. By creating and analyzing designs in a model, MEP professionals can deliver sophisticated, sustainable building systems more quickly and economically than ever before. Plus, increased visibility facilitates coordination and collaboration with architects and other engineers to significantly reduce errors and improve the accuracy and reliability of MEP engineering design and documentation.

Structural Engineering

BIM helps structural engineers stay flexible and competitive by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of their structures before they are built. With BIM, structural design and documentation can be integrated earlier in the process, so design interferences can be addressed before construction begins. And bidirectional linking to analysis applications from leading industry and regional partners helps reduce coordination errors and improve accuracy. BIM also helps to more efficiently accommodate design changes as they occur, and improves coordination with extended teams.

Construction

BIM helps construction professionals visualize, simulate, and analyze a project before construction even begins. BIM solutions can be used to perform quantity takeoffs, visualize construction processes through 4D simulation and clash detection, improve communication and collaboration among project stakeholders, and optimize execution in the field. Constructability is communicated and issues are flagged early on when changes are less expensive to make, thus minimizing material waste on-site, increasing productivity, and potentially lowering costs.
