Wilson High School is an educational project in Arlington, Virginia, United States spread over a project area of 216487 sq. ft. The BIM model of "Wilson High School" of "Shapiro & Duncan" is a new construction at Level of Development 300. The one building consisted of 6 floors along with 1 basement & has been divided into two separate zones (north and south).

Precast concrete detailing can be complex and challenging if driven by legacy tools. The benefits BIM delivers are transformational and high-impact for structural contractors and precast concrete detailing firms. Precise concrete detailing, quick decision-making, clash resolution, accurate BOMs, and coordination are some of the key benefits of adopting BIM for precast concrete detailing. This article provides an understanding of BIM benefits for precast and prefab construction.

Legacy construction technologies are unable to cope with modern building needs for Formwork design. Concrete designing, manufacturing, and installation require advanced preconstruction tools like BIM for structural contractors to resolve issues quickly for formwork dimensions and technicalities. Read the article to learn how BIM modeling supports structural contractors with accurate planning, quick TAT, high-quality formwork deliverables, and more.

BIM plays a key role in helping contractors achieve high project efficiencies through reduced costs, lesser rework, and timely deliveries. Check out this blog and know the common problems faced by contractors during the pre-construction stage and how adopting BIM during the early stages of design can help overcome these challenges.

Social housing firms or property owners need to save, manage, and utilize digital building information for efficient operations and maintenance. 2D deliverables are unable to provide the accuracy and visualization to understand asset performance. Digital Twins within BIM are high-impact tools that can support social housing firms with an enhanced user experience, improved rent management, better detailing, and more. Read the blog on the potential benefits of BIM through digital twins to augment social housing.

Data accuracy, asset consistency, improved performance, transparency, and diminished risks are some of the advantages Scan-to-BIM offers to AEC stakeholders. Renovating and maintaining complex construction or upholding the significance of heritage monuments becomes easier when facility managers adopt Scan-to-BIM. Read the article to learn how Scan-to-BIM is key to achieving high-impact outcomes for facility managers or facility management firms.

LiDAR and 3D laser scanning are key tools in AEC projects, each with unique benefits. LiDAR is great for quickly capturing data over large areas, while 3D laser scanning provides detailed accuracy for smaller spaces like heritage buildings. Together, they simplify work, reduce mistakes, and help make better decisions. Using these technologies for point cloud to BIM modeling ensures projects stay on schedule and within budget, leading to high-quality results.
