Many industries have changed dramatically in the past few years with the advent of technology, including facilities management (FM). In fact, recent research by Frost & Sullivan (a research and consulting organisation) showed that the global outsourced FM market will reach around $1 trillion in the next six years. The interesting thing is that they attributed much [...]
When we started the CAD Room, our focus was on CAD design services, but the construction industry has moved on in such leaps and bounds in recent years that our focus is now more on building information modelling (BIM). This allows us to offer clients a more comprehensive modelling alternative to CAD and allows everyone [...]
The buzzword of the moment in the world of Architecture, Engineering and Construction is BIM. However, we know there is still a lot of confusion over BIM services and how they can help construction contractors. One commonly held belief about BIM, for example, is that it is a technology, which is not the case. BIM actually [...]
As a BIM company, much of our time is spent on producing high-quality CAD solutions for consulting engineers, and mechanical and electrical contractors which means we deal with facilities management (FM) issues as well. The introduction of BIM to the construction process has the potential to add significant value to the approach to FM, so [...]
Building design, development and construction today rely on a variety of tools - with BIM being just one of them. BIM promotes more informed decision making throughout the whole construction process, which not only improves profitability but reduces errors as well. In addition, civil construction projects, residential projects and commercial buildings, building design for healthcare [...]
Technology is changing most tasks that we undertake in our daily lives, and also our jobs, especially for those who work in the word of design, construction and bim services. Traditionally, building design has always been a little bit of a compromise: juggling budget, time restrictions, and computing power often means that the number of [...]
As a BIM company, we keep a close eye on developments in technology. The massive rise in popularity of mobile phones – specifically smartphones – has meant that Augmented Reality (AR) has also taken off in a big way recently. Some of the largest companies in the world, such as Google and Apple, have begun [...]
In this digital day and age, it is hardly surprising that the construction industry is trying hard to keep up with technological advances - with BIM being an essential part of this. Building Information Modelling has been a massive boon to the construction industry from this point of view as it has allowed for the [...]
The UK Government recently announced its industrial strategy, outlining its vision for the future including for the provision of housing, as there is a worsening deficit between housing demand and supply. As one of the leading BIM companies in the UK, we were interested to see that one of the suggestions that was made was [...]
BIM Can Bring Many Opportunities For Your Business. You may feel like you have heard us talk about nothing else but Building Information Modelling recently, and we hold our hands up to that. But there is a reason for this. Back in 2016, the UK Government made BIM compulsory for all public projects, but this [...]
