Building Information Modeling

Autodesk BIM solutions
Less risk, more predictability. Less delay, more confidence.

 
BIM Wind Turbine Design

Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process for exploring a project’s key physical and functional characteristics digitally—before it’s built. Autodesk provides a comprehensive portfolio of BIM solutions that help customers deliver projects faster and more economically, while minimizing environmental impact.

Use coordinated, consistent information throughout the BIM process to:

  • Design innovative projects and conduct analysis from the earliest stages
  • Better visualize and simulate real-world appearance, performance, and cost
  • Document more accurately

The Autodesk® BIM solution is based on coordinated, data-rich models created with software based on the Autodesk® Revit® platform, and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software. Complementing these core BIM products is a broad portfolio of applications, including AutoCAD® software for documentation and conceptual 3D design, and AutoCAD LT® software for professional drafting.

Service Point is a leading Autodesk partner for the implementation of architecture, engineering, and construction technology solutions. Our team of experienced professionals is passionate about understanding your needs, challenges, and technology goals. With years of industry experience, we provide practical solutions that are specific to your business and promote your long-term success.

BIM for Renovation
Do more. Deliver innovative, sustainable building renovations—faster and more cost-effectively. Use Autodesk building information modeling (BIM) solutions to help boost building energy efficiency, cut costs, and comply with codes—with more certainty. BIM lets you view the impact of design changes before construction, enhancing predictability and minimizing errors.

  • Create data-rich models with software based on the Autodesk® Revit® platform
  • Simulate and analyze buildings with Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis software
  • Improve coordination with Autodesk® Navisworks® software
  • Extend documentation with AutoCAD® software

Less risk, less waste, less rework. More efficiency, more accuracy, and more confidence. Less is more with BIM.

BIM for Construction
Autodesk® building information modeling (BIM) solutions help you view the impact of design changes and identify construction problems earlier, when changes are less expensive to make. To minimize costly errors and on-site waste, use BIM to communicate schedules, coordinate trades, and detect interferences—with more confidence.

Comprehensive BIM
Autodesk BIM solutions provide the tools you need to do more with less.

  • Better understand design intentions with software based on the Autodesk® Revit® platform
  • Simulate and improve coordination with Autodesk® Navisworks® software
  • Extend documentation with AutoCAD® software

Less risk, less waste, less rework. More efficiency, more accuracy, and more confidence. Less is more with BIM.

Sustainable Design
Autodesk BIM solutions help make sustainable design practices easier, more efficient, and less costly by enabling project participants to create coordinated, digital design information and documentation. This information can then be used to more accurately visualize and simulate performance, appearance, and cost, thereby helping to deliver the project faster, more economically, and with the potential for reduced environmental impact. Much of the specific information required for sustainable design, analysis, code compliance, and certification becomes routinely available as a by-product of the design process, helping to save time and money.

Integrated Project Delivery
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is an emerging business model in the building industry that allows for the entire extended team to collaborate early in the process to make the most effective decisions together. The IPD process is built on behavior and contractual relationships that are greatly enhanced by incorporating the technology-based process of BIM. BIM helps project teams use consistent, reliable information in a common collaborative environment, increasing understanding of design intent, improving efficiency, and enabling new ways of working that inspire more sustainable design and construction.

Architecture (Product Information)
BIM helps architects stay competitive in an increasingly complex business climate by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of a building before it’s built. It enables the creation of more sustainable, accurate designs with fewer errors and less waste, which can result in higher profits and more satisfied clients. And through the delivery of reliable, coordinated building information, BIM helps architects collaborate with team members more easily.

MEP Engineering (Product Information)
BIM gives mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering professionals the ability to better predict the outcome of their systems before they are built. By creating and analyzing designs in a model, MEP professionals can deliver sophisticated, sustainable building systems more quickly and economically than ever before. Plus, increased visibility facilitates coordination and collaboration with architects and other engineers to significantly reduce errors and improve the accuracy and reliability of MEP engineering design and documentation.

Structural Engineering (Product Information)
BIM helps structural engineers stay flexible and competitive by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of their structures before they are built. With BIM, structural design and documentation can be integrated earlier in the process, so design interferences can be addressed before construction begins. And bidirectional linking to analysis applications from leading industry and regional partners helps reduce coordination errors and improve accuracy. BIM also helps to more efficiently accommodate design changes as they occur, and improves coordination with extended teams.

Civil Engineering (Product Information)
BIM helps civil engineers predict the outcome of their land development, transportation, and environmental projects before they are built. By creating coordinated, reliable design information, civil engineers are able to respond to changes faster; optimize designs with analysis, simulation, and visualization; and deliver higher-quality designs and construction documentation. Plus, BIM enables the extended team to extract valuable civil data from an information model, which facilitates earlier decision making, more sustainable designs, and faster, more economic project delivery.

Real Estate (Commercial)
BIM provides unprecedented value to owners by helping them coordinate information, processes, communication, cost, and schedules across the building lifecycle. Owners can visualize options, analyze environmental impact, and evaluate costs of their projects before the onset of construction to help accelerate project delivery, manage budgets, reduce waste and risk, optimize building performance, and improve ongoing operation.
