Over recent years our studios have undertaken a gradual introduction and training programme to develop our BIM (based on AutoDesk Revit 3D parametric modelling) strategy within the practice.
This reflects our general commitment to the continual improvement of our systems and service, and recognises current best practice and future trends.

Building Information
Modelling (BIM) has its roots in the mid 1980s, it
has however only recently risen in popularity within the Architectural and Engineering
professions in relation to the construction industry. It has the potential to provide
added value to teamworking, coordination and communication between project
teams, contractors, clients and end users.

Initial
evaluation studies indicate that the creation of a 3D model with associated
information can reduce errors in design, improve design quality, shorten
construction time, and significantly reduce construction costs.

Our
resource of formally trained architects and technicians, led by our in-house IT manager is steadily
increasing. Our adoption plan
anticipates 80% of our work being produced on a BIM platform within 3 years,
expanding as suitable new projects are secured.
We provide basic familiarisation training to all staff, but detailed
training is linked to specific project application to ensure learning is
reinforced by being put into practice
immediately.
