Less is More with BIM

BIM Cycle"

Waste Less. Profit more. Experience the power of Autodesk BIM solutions.

Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process for exploring a project’s key physical and functional characteristics digitally—before it’s built. Autodesk provides a comprehensive portfolio of BIM solutions that help customers deliver projects faster and more economically, while minimizing environmental impact.

Use coordinated, consistent information throughout the BIM process to:

Design innovative projects and conduct analysis from the earliest stages
Better visualize and simulate real-world appearance, performance, and cost
Document more accurately

The Autodesk BIM solution is based on coordinated, data-rich models created with software based on the Autodesk Revit platform, and AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Complementing these core BIM products is a broad portfolio of applications, including AutoCAD software for documentation and conceptual 3D design, and AutoCAD LT software for professional drafting.

COINS is a leading Autodesk partner for the implementation of architecture, engineering, and construction technology solutions. Our team of experienced professionals is passionate about understanding your needs, challenges, and technology goals. With years of industry experience, we provide practical solutions that are specific to your business and promote your long-term success.

Architecture

BIM helps architects stay competitive in an increasingly complex business climate by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of a building before it’s built. It enables the creation of more sustainable, accurate designs with fewer errors and less waste, which can result in higher profits and more satisfied clients. And through the delivery of reliable, coordinated building information, BIM helps architects collaborate with team members more easily.

Construction

Autodesk building information modeling (BIM) solutions help you view the impact of design changes and identify construction problems earlier, when changes are less expensive to make. To minimize costly errors and on-site waste, use BIM to communicate schedules, coordinate trades, and detect interferences—with more confidence. Less risk, less waste, less rework. More efficiency, more accuracy, and more confidence. Less is more with BIM.

Sustainable Design

Autodesk BIM solutions help make sustainable design practices easier, more efficient, and less costly by enabling project participants to create coordinated, digital design information and documentation. This information can then be used to more accurately visualize and simulate performance, appearance, and cost, thereby helping to deliver the project faster, more economically, and with the potential for reduced environmental impact. Much of the specific information required for sustainable design, analysis, code compliance, and certification becomes routinely available as a by-product of the design process, helping to save time and money.

Integrated Project Delivery

Integrated project delivery (IPD) is an emerging business model in the building industry that allows for the entire extended team to collaborate early in the process to make the most effective decisions together. The IPD process is built on behavior and contractual relationships that are greatly enhanced by incorporating the technology-based process of BIM. BIM helps project teams use consistent, reliable information in a common collaborative environment, increasing understanding of design intent, improving efficiency, and enabling new ways of working that inspire more sustainable design and construction.

Real Estate (Commercial)

BIM provides unprecedented value to owners by helping them coordinate information, processes, communication, cost, and schedules across the building lifecycle. Owners can visualize options, analyze environmental impact, and evaluate costs of their projects before the onset of construction to help accelerate project delivery, manage budgets, reduce waste and risk, optimize building performance, and improve ongoing operation.
