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.

Benefits of using BIM
01
As the conceptual design develops, various alternatives can be investigated and represented visually.
02
The model provides tools to identify issues and solve potential problems before they occur in real life. This greatly reduces risk, while saving time and money.
03
BIM enables constant information exchange among architects, engineers, specialists, developers, contractors, and other parties.
04
BIM can also be used for clash detection and to eliminate spatial conflicts before construction commences.
05
Faster response to design changes.
06
Generate material lists and quantities (also see Feasibility Studies and Building Data Reporting)
07
BIM can also allow owners and operators to manage, plan and track ongoing maintenance, refurbish, or demolish their facilities more efficiently.
