Are you looking to move beyond the standard 2D takeoff process?
The BuildingPoint team can help you implement a Model Based Estimating process. Using our experienced VDC professionals we can help your team make the most of project models as part of the preconstruction process. If you just want to use design authored BIM deliverables in your process we can show you how to scrub that data and align it with your WinEst database items and assemblies. If you are interested in creating your own preconstruction models to help identify construction means and methods issues plus make things from the start tie directly in to your WinEst database we can help with that process as well.
The BuildingPoint VDC services team can also fully create any models your team may need during the preconstruction process. You don’t have to worry about hiring another team member to help create your project models and can instead use or experienced team to create the deliverables you want when you want them. We have experience in creating business development or project logistics models all the way to detailed trade contractor construction and coordination models.
Have you ever wanted to see how the project schedule is going to flow before stepping foot on site? You can visualize your project schedule by integrating with a project model. BuildingPoint can help your team create early project models and tie them in to your project schedule for the use in business development efforts all the way through updating project schedules based on actual day-to-day production information.
By engaging BuildingPoint Midwest & Gulf Coast to provide project BIM deliverables we will show you how to maximize the data in them for a more integrated estimating and scheduling process.
