Professional Home Builder BIM Services

The strategic use of Building Information Modeling from early design through community sales helps professional builders find efficiencies which save significant time and expense. As a 3D virtual prototype, BIM makes big promises but also takes a significant investment in training and systems to realize the benefit. During the past 10 years, Willamette Architecture 360 has worked exclusively with BIM and professional home builders to identify how to best use this new technology to improve their operations.

If your aim is to improve your home building operation by introducing BIM processes, we would love to talk.

Benefits of BIM for Home Builders

DESIGN

The power of the technology creates a much more efficient design and production process. This allows the design schedule to accelerate, saving time and cost.
By building the community in 3D the design is more fully considered. Speeding decisions and approvals since all members of the team have a clear understanding of the design. Save cost by resolving issues in the computer rather than on-site where it is most costly. This is great for the bottom line.
Quantities and schedules can be calculated early in the design process allowing adjustment to be easily made if warning signs appear. The format for this information can be customized as needed by each builder’s internal processes.
The model is an asset for the whole team. Consultants who utilize BIM can also use with model to detect clashes or resolve issues. The model can even provide 2D CAD as needed such as CAD backgrounds of all spaces for the interior designers use.

CONSTRUCTION

A better coordinated and more detailed construction set means fewer changes and questions in the field. Saving time and cost.
Unlimited views can be extracted from the model to answer questions or resolve issues quickly on site.
Easily manage plan and elevation options or create site specific sets and data to aid during construction.

SALES

Robust 3D visualizations are available from the 3D BIM at no additional cost or send the 3D model to a renderer of choice saving time and expense. The model assists the marketing graphic team create brochures, websites, walk-through video, or even virtual reality viewing.
Unlimited options can be easily shown to buyers in 3D, helping them understand their design selections. Production builders can offer a more flexible and custom experience.
