The BIM advantage

What our BIM approach delivers

Twelve concrete benefits our clients get from BIM-aligned delivery — from the golden thread of design intent through to measured post-occupancy performance.

01

The golden thread

BIM is a key element of design and construction, maintaining the golden thread of the building's purpose through to delivery and operation.

02

Early end-user engagement

End users are engaged early and throughout, with a BIM champion embedded on the project team during design and construction.

03

Committed aftercare

The design and construction team commits to aftercare post-construction — not just handover and walk away.

04

Post-occupancy feedback

Post-occupancy evaluation feeds lessons learnt back to the design and construction team and into future projects.

05

FM-ready asset data

A fully populated asset data set feeds directly into FM systems, with modelling that supports planning modifications across the building life cycle.

06

Buildings that perform

The outcome is a building that meets end-user needs and required operational outcomes — measured, not assumed.

07

Early design challenge

Design decisions that would impact ongoing maintenance and operating cost are challenged early, while change is still cheap.

08

Whole-life cost focus

Most asset expenditure happens over the lifecycle, not the capital phase — operational cost impacts are considered from day one.

09

Smooth commissioning & handover

Training, commissioning and handover are planned early, cutting protracted handovers and reaching optimal building performance sooner.

10

Measured performance

Clear building-performance measures are monitored up to three years post-completion, with remedy mechanisms where performance is not met.

11

Proven savings

As early adopters of BIM, we have identified significant time and cost savings on new-build and refurbishment projects in the UK and internationally.

12

Less waste, less delay

Estimating, detailed BOQs and commercial assistance delivered in line with the Level 2 BIM protocol help minimise waste and delay.

Resource personnel
