Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling – BIM – is an innovative method to seamlessly bridge communication within the architecture, engineering and construction industries. It is a digital standard (not software) which is in the process of being developed so that all participants in the building industry can create, manage and distribute documents throughtout the life of a building.

The BIM standard is being adapted by the major CAD software companies such as Autodesk through their products. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing how buildings, infrastructure, and utilities are planned, designed, built, and managed. Autodesk BIM solutions help turn information into insight and deliver business value at every step in the process.

On the collaborative project management side, our most popular plan room software, DFS 3.4 works seamlessly within the BIM standard.

Revision Highlighting

Our RevLine service provides a unique ability to identify document changes with a high degree of accuracy in a minimal amount of time. It's the perfect tool to help manage your team collaboration.

Instead of manually comparing two drawings, detail-by-detail and dimension-by-dimension, simply request a RevLine drawing and the changes are highlighted for you. Items that were deleted from the original appear in red, while items that were added to the revision appear in green.

Contractors and Subcontractors

• Reduce liability and mistakes. Capture and track all project changes whether or not they are clearly noted on the revised documents.
• Save time. Manually comparing drawings typically consumes 15-20 percent of a project manager's time. RevLine drawings make the changes immediately apparent and streamline information flow among project members.

Construction Information Managers

• Add value to the construction process. Your involvement in change management and communication makes you an important partner in the construction process.
• Create value with colour. Highlighting what changed saves your customers time and helps them focus on understanding the impact of changes – not identifying them. RevLine documents demonstrate how colour can assist the construction process.
• Differentiate through your core competency. RevLine document services illustrate your understanding and ability to impact key construction processes. RevLine output enables conversations with higher level customer contacts and gives you a simple tool to show how your services can improve the control and presentation of key project data.

Owners & Developers

• Create transparency. RevLine documents identify and track project changes and gives a simple tool that helps avoid mis-communication and finger pointing.
• Save project time. Back and forth communication and discussion on large impact changes can take days or weeks. RevLine drawings make the changes immediately apparent and allow the project team to focus on implementing them.

Architects and Engineers

• Improve the end product. Use RevLine services as a part of the quality control process to ensure the all changes are clearly depicted.
• Clarify changes. RevLine documents can assist with partner communication during design, and can improve communication flow during construction. Increase the clarity of changes to the entire construction team allowing for tighter collaboration and a well executed project.
