Why BIM for Interior Design?
BIM for interior design has brought about a significant change in the industry. BIM is a game-changer, as it simplifies processes, facilitates cooperation, and increases efficiency while creating functional and beautiful spaces. No longer do you need to run multiple applications to design, visualize, create mood boards, and document your projects. Your clients will appreciate this approach while you save time and money focusing on what you do best: design great interiors.

in extra software?

Archicad has enabled Slichter Architects to expand our services while mainstreaming our workflow. By embracing BIM technology we have provided our clients early project models for both interior and exterior review while developing the projects for quick turn around of construction drawings once the design is approved.
Joshua Warne, Associate, Stevens Lawson Architects
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

Architects need to understand where outsourcing can fit into their workflows and assess what kind of person/team and location they need

Are you looking to work with other like-minded professionals?
> Most architects chose their BIM solution based upon their engineers/consultants choice of solution.
> Workflows between architects and consultants are often not streamlined even when using the same solution.
