Building Information Modeling (BIM)


Construction Research Group has been utilizing Building Information Modeling tools for estimating since 1998. 3D models comprised of intelligent building components are able to be drawn in a relative scale and linked with a database of project information. All drawing information can be exported to a Microsoft Excel file containing precise material quantities.

For plan series with multiple elevations and options, creating 3D digital prototype models of how base plans interact with various buyer selected options, allows the opportunity of synchronizing and optimizing the precise materials required for each option.

The digital property data created through this technology produces an electronic audit trail for Bill of Materials takeoffs.  With Autodesk Design Review, (a free downloadable software)the 3D models created by Construction Research Group can be viewed and manipulated on most computers. With this, building material takeoffs can be more accurately validated on-screen rather than in the field.
