BIM 3D Technology
Custom metal building design using 3D BIM technology
Leading the industry in technology, design flexibility, estimating ease and longevity, quality and value for more than 75 years, American Buildings is one of the largest and most experienced manufacturers of custom engineered steel building systems in the world. With one of the widest array of product offerings, from simple to the complex, American’s Builder Network throughout North America has the expertise to deliver top quality, sustainable metal building systems and services.
Unlike past 3D innovations in the building industry, BIM is more than a conceptual modeling tool. BIM encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities and properties of building components. When the modeling software is used by manufacturers and principles involved in a building project, the resulting BIM is usable for fabrication. It involves ground-up reality rather than top-down theory.
American Buildings is pairing its proven track record of quality and service with the future of 3D modeling to give Builders, general contractors, engineers, and architects an edge over competitors in the market. Providing customers with a modeling system that can display a virtual replica of their building leads to confidence and peace of mind for the life cycle of the project.
BIM Produces a Digital Prototype of Your Building
The BIM process produces a digital prototype of your project, allowing you to build it virtually before building it in reality. A BIM project is not drawn in the traditional sense; rather it’s built digitally as a database in BIM software. Instead of having to look at hundreds or thousands of separate drawings, schedules, specs and cut sheets for all the information on a particular element, all the pertinent information is built into the object in the BIM. For a more life-like experience, your BIM image can be used to create a rendering or accessed in virtual reality software.
Benefits of Using BIM 3D Modeling Technology
BIM is the choice of leading Builders, architects, fabricators, erectors, engineers, designers, manufacturers, and building owners. Take a look at just a few of the benefits of this incredible technology:
· Allows for easier coordination of various software and project personnel through Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) systems
· Serves as a significant resource for erectors
· Produces a working model usable for fabrication
· Leads to increased productivity
· Enables improved communication across project team members, which can significantly reduce change order costs
· Enhances quality control, including clash detection
· Provides comprehensive life-cycle management
