BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
BIM is a data sharing and delivery system providing a 3D virtual building model that is information rich, collaborative in nature, and visually compelling. BIM modeling provides a virtual build of the entire structure in 3D prior to physical construction.
BIM’s parametric modeling ensures that any change to the design is automatically carried through universally throughout the entire BIM model including all project documents. This drastically reduces RFI’s and field change orders during physical construction while ensuring that the design intent is achieved.
When using Edify Design’s BIM services, installers and contractors can expect a Project Execution Model (PEM) that delivers:
2D Drawings from 3D modeling
4D Scheduling and Phasing
Central Communication Platform
Improved Design Intent Success
Efficient Site Coordination & Staging
Clash Detection & Subcontractor Trade Coordination
Fabrication Drawings
Edify Design can also handle all of your fabrication drawings, whether it be 2D drawings for your shop floor or 3D output for your CNC’s. All fabrication drawings are designed in Inventor to export as 3D models and view as DWG’s. Edify Design works with all major CNC manufacturers and software systems in the industry, allowing a complete turnkey process from 3D modeling to CNC-ready fabrication drawings, and everything in-between!
Thermal Modeling
Edify Design’s NFRC Approved Simulator Accreditation ensures thermal modeling services that deliver accuracy and confidence that you can rely on. Our thermal modeling services provide detailed energy demand and performance data for any window or window wall product. This ensures compliance with desired design parameters and industry standards that ultimately provide project success through owner and occupant satisfaction.
