Building Information Modeling (BIM) Services

Applying technological innovations to structural engineering allows more control, conceptualization, and understanding throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. Building Information Modeling, or BIM, integrates digital tools and engineering know-how to give all involved a fuller picture of a building and how it should be built. From planning to operation, BIM helps the communication process for a project, as clear digital representation brings a concept to life and creates data that can help better detail everything from materials to cost.

By connecting team members and streamlining data during every stage of a project, BIM increases communication and decreases the chances of something going wrong. And the use of Building Information Modeling doesn't cease being important once construction is complete. Instead, the data gathered during the build is often used after the build phase to plan for renovations. All that information benefits any maintenance activities necessary while a building is in use. Snell can apply BIM to enhance the efficiency of a project, ensuring that any building can move from design to construction with reduced difficulties.
