BIM / Virtual Construction | Henegan Construction Co. Inc.

We have successfully implemented building information modeling (BIM) practices on a number of our projects, whereby we use the Architect’s and Engineer’s 3D design models to facilitate the flow of communication, contract documents, as-builts, requests for clarification, and bulletins using Desktop Solutions.

The Architects, Owners’ Reps, Subcontractors, and Owner can all communicate information in a controlled environment where decisions are made based on a collaborative approach.

In every case, this process significantly improved turnaround of construction documents, was more sustainable/less wasteful, greatly improved efficiency, and eliminated miscommunications that could cause lengthy, costly, and contentious delays. With the rapid deployment and turnaround of the documentation, each project was on time, on budget, and truly collaborative.

Whether or not the project has been designed using 3D modeling, we can use laser scanning technology to capture precisely existing field conditions (slabs, columns, walls, pipes, etc.), create an actual 3D model of the premises, “overlay” various aspects of the design, and detect conflicts with all trades well before construction starts.
