What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. The model can contain all the physical and functional characteristics of a project, including structure, geometry, aesthetics, materials, systems and dynamic performance.
​
Enspire Consulting uses Autodesk REVIT and CIVIL 3D to produce intelligent 3D models, containing all the required information to share with client and other professionals, as well as produce construction documentation.
BIM is used at different phases of the project life cycle, from design through construction and operation, to sustainable demolition. High level BIM implementation provides enhanced risk management, substantial productivity gains, shortened construction time scales and significant cost savings over the project lifecycle.
