Building Information Modeling
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of developing an object-oriented digital model that is used to visualize and analyze building components and construction sequences. The BIM model also provides data for estimating costs, monitoring operations, and tracking maintenance throughout a building's life cycle.
Architectural Engineers Collaborative is an early user and advocate of BIM technology. We are advanced providers of structural BIM services, producing fully integrated, virtual intelligent models of building structures for use in structural analysis, clash detection, material quantity takeoffs, cost estimation, and construction analysis. Further, AEC has successfully implemented BIM in structural steel detailing and fabrication processes, using CIMSteel Integration Standards (CIS).
