Building Information Modeling (BIM) is utilized on almost all SDG projects with clients who use multiple design platforms. Structural systems including the building frame and foundations, as well as other structural assemblies are modeled in a relative scale and combined with the architectural and MEP models. This facilitates coordination between the design disciplines and improved documentation for construction. Using BIM, team members can make changes without lengthy re-coordination, at any time during the design process. In addition, design work and the construction documentation can be done concurrently instead of in succession, because design is captured as it is developed and embedded in the documents as the work proceeds. SDG works with the design team members to use this platform to the full advantage of the project Owner and Architect.
