BIM
In 2015 our
firm decided to invest significantly both in purchasing licenses and hardware, and
in training for our employees, in order to compete in the BIM processes design market (Building Information Modelling).
This new design
mode is defined as a digital representation of the physical characteristics of
an object (or of a building, in our case) and consists in the realization of a
three-dimensional model of the building, where its objects are linked to specific
different characteristics: a window, in addition to all its geometric
characteristics, presents for example all those ones related to sound
insulation, energy performance or costs.
In this way
the three-dimensional model can automatically provide the characteristics of
the property in terms of energy, acoustic performance or overall costs.
By
integrating structures and systems in the same model, any interference can be
detected on the paper, so to avoid unpleasant surprises on building site.
Statistics
show that using BIM design processes reduces design errors and unforeseen
events on-site.
