Building Information Modeling (BIM) Services in Olympia, WA
Building construction has come a long way in only a short time. Current digital technology gives designers the power to generate complete 3D models of projects to show to customers, and coordinate the various physical elements of each trade. The technology goes beyond creating a digital mock-up, however.
By using BIM, constructability can be confirmed in the design phase, and that means there is less conflict in the filed and costly rework and change orders are minimized, saving money, but also time.
Sunset Air offers a wide range of commercial services, from doing energy retrofits to complete cradle-to-grave building construction and management.

Just What Is BIM?
The simplest definition is that building information modeling is a process that creates and manages a digital model of the physical and functional characteristics of a building. This is achieved with a range of tools, software, and other technologies. BIM is currently used around the world for commercial, government, and industrial construction, and can be applied to structures aside from buildings, such as tunnels, railways, bridges, and power plants.
Although the concepts behind BIM have been around for decades, the current process and technologies emerged in the early 2000s, as digital formats became widespread and using digital models became the standard for design and engineering. It augments the older two-dimensional blueprints, and even extends into two additional dimensions past the third: time and cost.
Why BIM Is Beneficial in Commercial Construction
Think of BIM as a “big picture” tool, which includes the building after the completion of construction (something you could never get using blueprints). BIM lets you get ahead of numerous jobs in building management, since it takes into account continual building maintenance, replacement of materials, later updates and upgrades, and the replacement of energy, utility, and security systems. It helps avoid information loss between the different teams working on the project and lowers the chance of running into snags and safety hazards.
BIM also helps with green building construction. “Green BIM” can help our team of engineers and designers improve the sustainability of a building project over its entire life cycle. They can pinpoint where to install energy saving devices and products.
