WORK EXPERTISE ABOUT CAREERS SERVICES CONTACT BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) Data and Visualization That Makes Great Design Possible BIM is an essential tool for architectural projects of any scale. We rely on it to communicate design, resolve potential issues, and make crucial changes in real time. A Living Model of Your Project DesignGroup uses BIM (Building Information Modeling) at an advanced level on virtually every project. It’s a remarkably powerful design platform that allows us to create highly detailed construction documents and 3D models of buildings. Our design team members use BIM to review the project with clients, suppliers, construction partners, and others. Among many benefits, BIM reduces change orders and gives clients an even greater sense of confidence in the project.

GARRY CLARKE, VICE PRESIDENT OF PLANNING FRANKLIN PARK CONSERVATORY AND BOTANICAL GARDENS Meet the DesignGroup Building Information Modeling (BIM) Expert DesignGroup architects and interior designers ask good questions, listen intently, and build strong collaborative relationships. It’s the key to understanding your mission and vision, today and into the future. CHECK OUT OUR THOUGHT LEADERSHIP ON: The Power of BIM Partnership: A Conversation with the BIM Managers of the New OSUWMC Tower Project Building information modeling, or BIM, provides powerful 3D design and review capabilities to any project. When the project is 1.5 million square feet, though, it needs to be managed with extra care. In this interview, BIM managers from DesignGroup and HDR describe their close -- and very successful -- collaboration on a massive new OSU Wexner Medical Center project. The two firms relied on advanced, and in some cases original, BIM methodologies and collaboration to manage it all. In all, 230 team members and 15 multi-disciplinary firms created 40 Revit models to facilitate design.

It’s essential for total confidence in final approval of design.
