BIM

The design becomes the model.

Walls, doors, windows, floors, roofs, levels, materials, parameters, views and schedules, in the browser, with an agent that can work on all of it.

Every element knows what it is.

Walls have types and materials. Doors belong to walls. Rooms carry names, areas and program. Floors belong to levels. Objects carry the properties you expect.

Harbour Yard, floor plan view

Plans, sections and 3D are views of one building.

Every view reads from the same model, so they stay in step when the building changes.

Work with building systems, not loose geometry.

Also in the model: 199 doors and 69 windows. Areas measured to wall centre lines.

Ask for the change, not the steps.

The agent finds the right elements and makes the change in the model, rather than telling you how to do it.

  1. Change the facade glazing to this low-e type.

    1,552 windows and the window schedule updated

  2. Furnish every office suite.

    Items placed from the Bimiq library

  3. Check the homes against the brief.

    160 homes and 320 bedrooms checked, no shortfalls

  4. Cut a section through the sky garden.

    Section A–A added to the drawings

The model can measure itself.

Also: sun hours, solar radiation, daylight factor, illuminance, energy demand and embodied carbon.

Take it wherever the project goes next.

Continue in Revit or Rhino, or export IFC, DWG, PDF and other formats. Start in Bimiq. Keep going wherever the project needs to go.

Keep the design editable as it develops.

Bring the project, and Bimiq will take it from research to a model you can keep editing.
