A properly executed building information modeling (BIM) workflow has many proven benefits including more effective cost estimation, better coordination between systems, shorter construction schedules, and reduced risk. LRA provides BIM services at any and all stages of construction to help owners, developers, and contractors realize these benefits.
Concept-level energy simulation - At the early stages of a project, we can provide analysis of building orientation and assemblies to optimize energy usage.
Modeling systems to specific Level of Development (LOD) - MEP systems can be modeled to LOD 400 and beyond when required.
Clash detection - By overlaying various trades’ models, the clash detection process can identify and resolve conflicts in a virtual space; well before it becomes an issue in the field.
Fabrication/shop drawings - Working with the contractors, architect, and structural engineer, models can be developed to fabrication-level accuracy with pipe/conduit hangers, duct insulation, sheet-metal, and more.
Leveraging technology - We utilize the latest, industry-wide software systems, such as Revit, Navisworks, Construction Cloud, and Insight, to enable collaboration and coordination at a high level.
