The BE&K Building Group continues to be at the forefront when it comes to applying technology to give owners the best building experience possible. From our perspective, Building Information Modeling (BIM) exemplifies the collaborative team approach that makes the construction process most effective. BIM gives all team members, including the owner, a clear vision of their projects from concept to completion.

The visualization power of BIM is unmatched. In the preconstruction phase we are able to obtain critical information from the computer model that provides us with a clearer understanding of the design intent in a shorter amount of time. BIM significantly accelerates the estimating process, leading to faster decision-making and ultimately a higher quality building program and increased return on investment for the owner. As the building’s design evolves, Clash Detection analysis helps find potential problem areas and prevents costly change orders and rework in the field. BIM’s powerful visualization capabilities extend beyond design into construction, enabling us to provide subcontractors with 3D imagery to assist in defining complex scope items.
