Need Help with Your Modeling? Essential Steps You Can Take

by InEight | Apr 25, 2023

Modeling has gone full-force, high-tech. This is why more and more capital project contractors have begun turning to building information modeling (BIM) to gain efficiencies in time and effort that have long eluded them — and cost them in...

Beyond BIM: Visualizing your Common Data Environment (CDE)

In the past five years, the prevalence of building information management/modeling (BIM) at the planning and early construction stages has taken off globally. Construction companies in some regions of the world are more consistent and demanding in their use of BIM, while companies in other regions are trying to decide what BIM means to them. […]

Do You Need a Dedicated BIM Specialist?

But when used together, they can deliver even […]

How Building Information Modeling (BIM) Reduces Risk in Construction

Building information modeling (BIM) is a 3D modeling process that incorporates all the data linked to each element within the model, from dimensions to quantities to costs to warranty information. But it’s so much more than that. Its robust visualization capabilities make it possible to “view” everything from proposed design changes to potential clashes to […]
