BIM (Building Information Modeling) - Key Advantage

BIM (Building Information Modeling ) is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. Typically it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the Building Information Model (also abbreviated BIM), which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.

PCS embraces BIM as a core best practice for ensuring the very highest return on investment for its clients over the entire lifetime of a facility, continuing to pay dividends long after the last milestone in design and construction phases have been completed.

BIM offers several key benefits:

Improved visualization

Improved productivity due to easy retrieval of information

Increased coordination of construction documents

Embedding and linking of vital information such as vendors for specific materials, location of details and quantities required for estimation and tendering

Increased speed of delivery

Reduced costs

The Advance Use of Autodesk 360

Autodesk® 360 is all about liberating the design process. You’re probably already using Autodesk 360 for storage, but what’s coming is about much more than storage. The next generation of Autodesk 360 acts as a project hub that puts all your contacts, data, and design activities in one place. You control who accesses your data, where it lives (in the cloud or on your servers), and how people can retrieve it. Invite whoever you want to share project activities with, and use intuitive search tools to find exactly what you—and any not-so-organized teammates—need, even on huge projects. Integrated social tools make it easy to brainstorm ideas as they arise. And mobile compatibility keeps your whole team connected to your projects wherever they are.

Maybe the most liberating aspect: Autodesk 360 puts projects at the center of your workflow, helping break down the wall between people with design and engineering tools and those without. Your whole team can use it to view design files, stay on top of project activities, and connect design processes to related tasks and communications. So you spend more time on the work you love, with fewer constraints.
