SCIA’s BIM Concept
BIM: Building Information Modelling
Imagine this ...
all parties involved in the construction process — architects, engineers, contractors, project managers and
customers — are digitally exchanging information through the same computer software model. This might
sound futuristic to some, but it becomes reality with SCIA ... With the BIM concept (Building Information
Modelling), SCIA offers the solution through an intelligent and multi-accessible 3D model.
BIM offers comprehensive competitive advantages:
Shorter and faster completion
Increased productivity with an improved quality
Cost-saving
New sources of income and new business opportunities
Highly improved communication and coordination
Faster and smoother detection and correction of conflicts or errors
and so much more ...
