At SM Drafting, we revolutionize the design, construction, and operation phases of projects through our advanced Building Information Modelling (BIM) system. Instead of relying on disjointed drawings and models, we use a unified digital platform that consolidates all project data into a comprehensive and accessible format. This centralized approach supports informed decision-making and enhances the overall efficiency of the project lifecycle.
Our BIM system enables the creation of a detailed virtual model that evolves from the initial design phase through construction and into operation. This model is shared among the design team, main contractors, subcontractors, and the project owner, ensuring that all stakeholders contribute to and benefit from a cohesive and integrated project plan. This seamless collaboration fosters a unified approach to project execution.
At SM Drafting, we leverage industry-leading tools such as Tekla BIMSight and Navisworks to coordinate and manage our models. This methodology provides numerous advantages, including:
Our shared model approach allows for the early detection and resolution of potential issues, significantly reducing the likelihood of costly rework and project variations.
Enhanced communication between all project participants ensures a synchronized and efficient workflow, keeping everyone aligned with the project’s goals and requirements.
Our team excels at identifying and addressing design conflicts early on, ensuring that the project progresses smoothly without unexpected disruptions.
To accommodate the diverse needs of our clients, SM Drafting exports models in various 3D file formats, ensuring compatibility with different BIM requirements and providing the flexibility needed for successful project integration.
