Building Information Modelling, more commonly known as BIM, is replacing the traditional approach of the drawing board and Computer Aided Design (CAD). The production of fully coordinated 3-Dimensional Models is fast becoming the go to form of project communication from inception through to handover.
At Canham Consulting, our view is that BIM is only part of the solution. Any successful project relies on good, positive communication, and this is one of our strengths.
Our design concepts will often start with sketches and proposals, complemented with design meetings with various parties. This initial stage is crucially important to convey the design approach.
We use a suite of innovative, industry leading software to deliver our projects. By using this multi-disciplinary software, we have the ability to coordinate all of our models with external consultants to mitigate errors. Traditionally, these errors were lost in 2-Dimensional drawings but are now fully checked for spatial coordination through the use of BIM. We also use clash detection software which makes sure that all clashes are resolved.
Where there is BIM there is COBie (Construction Operations to Building Information Exchange), where we can log a projects maintainable assets, enabling us to deliver a true BIM level 2 compliant project. We have a proven track record in providing all 4 data drops required at key stages throughout the project. As per the 2016 government mandate, we comply by providing the essential items and we can guide you through the process to guarantee that you have all of the information you require at the handover stage.
In addition to the examples above, we consider ourselves adept at challenging projects, and would welcome new and innovative schemes for us to test our skills! Should any of our services be of interest, please contact us via any of the methods available on our
