Today, and on every project we have done for the past 15 years, we walk through the site with the builder and a tablet that shows exactly what this creation is to look like in 3D with every feature precisely located and detailed. If the builder’s interpretation leads to design issues, the architect comes to the site and says, “This has to be re-done!” These “change orders,” as they are known, could cost tens of thousands of dollars and untold time. If the owner comes later and doesn’t like what was happening … “tear it out!” Sometimes that more typical process even causes problems to proliferate because it is based on a 2D presentation of drawings to the builder, who is then left to work out the details on the job site. The alternative, which would be the experience in most other architecture offices, is to wait and see what happens during construction, the phase when changes and surprises can be extremely costly. BIM is a safety net because you know exactly what you are getting. BIM enables you to make well-informed decisions during the process. What’s most significant is that, in the design phase, it is very easy and economical to make changes if you see something you don’t love.
On seeing her new home in this way, one of our clients responded, “This is nuts! I can see myself in the house, feel myself here I love it and this is great!” BIM, and its virtual reality iteration BIMx, allows you to see every detail, to virtually walk through and explore your new home, while it is still in the design phase. What is BIM and why would it matter to my project?īIM (Building information modeling) is a technology that allows us to virtually build your high end luxury home before the builder ever breaks ground. His topic – “BIM There, Done That: High end luxury residences in tropical paradise.” Here, Roderick provides an inside peek at his process for designing award winning residences in Costa Rica and the Caribbean that succeed due in great measure to the use of BIM and Graphisoft BIMx views into these projects. SARCO Architects principal Roderick Anderson, an architect who uses BIM for every project, was invited to speak at a worldwide conference held in Munich on Nov.
