By using Building Information Modeling (BIM), ANF Group leverages three-dimensional models of current and future projects to facilitate a more efficient building process for the benefit of our clients. We employ highly-trained professionals who can develop and plan BIM models. ANF Group uses BIM on our projects to improve both efficiency and quality.
3D modeling of certain details, such as complicated excavations or intricate exterior skin layering, can assist field crews in understanding how to perform a difficult task before attempting it in the field.
BIM is used to assist our teams in mapping out logistics prior to a project’s start. This is especially valuable for occupied projects and sites with limited laydown space, tight footprints, or unique traffic or pedestrian concerns. Logistics planning can also be useful in addressing concerns of clients, tenants, neighbors, city officials, and others by helping them envision how the project will evolve.
3D modeling of mechanical, electrical, and piping systems allows our team and subcontractors to fully coordinate layout prior to starting the job. Conflicts are identified, alternatives evaluated, and solutions determined using the model. This results in fewer conflicts during field installation, significantly reducing delays and cost impacts.
Using BIM to model an existing building can assist the design and construction teams in accurately accounting for existing conditions within the new plans.
