CAD is no longer just about drafting. Autodesk BIM solutions allow you to explore and evaluate a project’s constructability before it’s built, improve cost reliability, visualize construction processes through 4D simulation and clash detection, increase coordination between stakeholders throughout the design and construction process, and better predict, manage and communicate project outcomes. In this project we begin with creating building models that more accurately reflects construction execution.  From there we will look at 4D simulations leveraging those BIM components. Then, we will look at creating model-based cost estimates and takeoffs.  Finally, we explore the management of facilities through BIM.
