Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)

Brierley Associates embraces new concepts and practices that improves the delivery of our services. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) has proven to be a valuable asset in developing efficient and constructible designs. Using BIM/VDC to create virtual mockups and design alternatives provides the ability to analyze “what if” scenarios and results in the selection of the best design solutions for our clients.

Integration of 3D modeling with other digital design information from various project disciplines creates a collaborative project environment and:

• Produces a better coordinated design.
• Identifies potential conflicts and allows the design team to address issues early on.
• Reduces costs and potential re-work.
• Ultimately, savings can be realized by shorter project duration, decreased claims and litigation.

Using the inherent intelligence of BIM and VDC provides a more scientific approach to the design process. We call this a smart way of “Creating Space Underground”.

You are invited to contact our BIM/VDC leader to learn more about how Brierley Associates can help you with the planning, design, and construction management of your next project.
