Why BIM for Contractors?
Our contractor clients do everything from design/build from early conceptual through construction. While others work closely with architects or designers in coordinating the BIM model for construction to save time and money through better coordination/collaboration and reducing waste.

Streamline your workflow so you spend less time managing software and more time designing
Help reduce errors and omissions
Allow for easy onboarding of new staff or when outsourcing work
As-builts
How are you currently creating as-built drawings/models for your remodel projects?
> You are outsourcing to a third-party
scanner and using scan-to-CAD/BIM services.
> You have your own scanner
or 3D camera in-house.
> You rely on mobile phone apps
for capturing as-built data.
> You understand the pros and cons
of each as-built solution.

This could be “scan to CAD/BIM”, rendering/animation/VR, drafting, modeling, etc
Outsourcing
Have you considered outsourcing certain stages of your projects either within the US or abroad?
We often find clients either have not taken advantage of this opportunity or were not prepared/set up and gave up after the first project
Successful outsourcing is accomplished when expectations from both parties are set up before the start of the project

As the complexity of our designs have increased, Archicad has proven to be the tool that allows us to work through our designs in 3D, then allows us to provide documents that demonstrate our design intent.

Facility Management & Digital Twin
Are you currently offering your clients services beyond construction?
By 2030, digital twin tools could become a standard part of architectural workflows, particularly as IoT integration and client demand for "smart buildings" increase.
Many architects have not explored the business opportunity in extending their services in some capacity into FM and/or Digital Twin.
