Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a form of computer-aided 3D design, a new generation of the Autocad 2D. In addition to providing a digital 3D image of the building, this technique allows for estimations, simulations, scheduling, and various other analyses, all the while improving coordination with the different specialists involved in the project. In other words, it allows for enhanced design and the opportunity to foresee potential issues that can arise during execution, and find solutions from the onset of the planning stage so as to avoid surprises and meet the project objectives.

Among the benefits of BIM, you will find:

• Lower design, construction, operation, and maintenance costs
• Improved communication between the different project participants
• Increased productivity
• Lower risks of errors on drawings and specifications
• Reduced number of change order notices further to the coordination of professionals.
