Building Information Modelling

3D models are easier to navigate and find building information than 2D drawings and specific 3D bracing models can be created to address difficult or congested areas. This is especially advantageous in installations such as plant rooms where space is limited. These designs give a better understanding of the bracing requirements and helps visualise space requirements, creating a more cost effective and appropriate design.

Any amount of detail can be inserted into the model; such as the size of brace, lengths, angles and fixing requirements while the designs can be viewed by not just the engineer but clients as well using mostly free software.
