We develop detailed construction schedules that integrate the 3D model with project timelines, enabling you to plan and manage your project more effectively.
5D Cost Estimation
Our BIM experts can provide accurate cost estimates based on the 3D model, enabling you to make informed decisions and stay within budget.
6D Sustainability
We use BIM technology to analyse energy usage and performance of buildings, helping you to design and construct sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
