…Whether I’m exporting an architectural model for them to coordinate or I’m importing their structural model to work with, it works perfectly both ways; and have had absolutely no coordination issues. In fact if anything, the clash detection capabilities of the software will point out to us if there’s any potential mistakes that we might not be seeing immediately. That’s a big value…

“Every consultant that we work with – structural engineers, mechanical engineers, whether they’re running their plumbing lines, the air conditioning lines, what have you – is forced to work in BIM, if they’re working with us, for just a matter of quality control.”
“Now, in the engineering world, there are many platforms that are three dimensional, that do different sorts of structural calculations, and each engineer uses what they feel the most comfortable with. The advantage of GRAPHISOFT [Archicad] is that it’s very flexible in terms of the information that it reads and the amount of different programs it can be fed in to the framework.”

“I’ve been on construction jobs where when your plumber is running your 4” waste lines, and he runs into a problem because there’s a coordination issue; and he tells you, “Every project I work on that has no hiccups is done in BIM.” Then you’re getting feedback from the field telling you that there is a certain way to do things better.”
