Building Information Modeling (BIM)

SMPC uses the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology during the design and construction process to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the design and construction documents. The BIM methodology helps to quickly evaluate and optimize the total design of the project. SMPC uses BIM methodology and computational software to evaluate spatial relationship, building geometry, and the potential energy efficiency of building designs.

The BIM methodology helps identify and resolve conflicts with other disciplines before design documents are completed, reducing the number of questions and changes during construction. BIM also expedites space evaluation, material quantity take-offs, energy evaluation, construction sequencing, and has the potential to assist future facility programming and operation.

SMPC uses several programs to model building information. With this technology and the team’s expertise, a complete and accurate database of building systems is created and is used not only in design, but for construction, maintenance and future building modifications.
