Why BIM?

BIM offers multiple benefits for design and construction projects. By using a single, coherent system of computer models, BIM enables a collaborative approach to building design, embracing technologies that modernise and improve workflows. When effectively managed and implemented, BIM can bring considerable cost savings and design improvements to projects, as well as greater accuracy in estimation, and fewer errors and alterations.

BIM Consulting Services

BIM can be challenging to mandate and implement when project partners have varied understanding or focus on a project.

The many benefits of BIM are best achieved through an actively managed and coordinated approach with skilled project partners. This mitigates project risks for all stakeholders, and avoids the frustration and pitfalls that invariably result from an uncoordinated approach to using BIM.

Gandy and Roberts are experienced, independent BIM consultants. We implement BIM across a range of landmark projects in Tasmania to improve project outcomes and efficiencies, and bring practical benefits for our clients.

We offer guidance to investors, designers and builders on BIM implementation and execution strategies, and we partner with experts in the field of surveying, shop detailing and building services to offer the best possible solutions for your BIM project.
