Building SMART
From inception, DO has dedicated itself to best realize and serve each client’s needs through premiere design. With keen focus on innovations and efficiencies, DO utilizes and delivers every design through a Building Information Model (BIM).
DO maximizes the advantages of utilizing BIM which are notable at each phase of a building, through design, construction, and facility management. From the onset, BIM allows DO the ability to better predict the outcome of a building before it’s built. It enables DO to generate more sustainable, precise designs with fewer errors and less waste. Because BIM is a digital representation of a building that can be queried for information, DO utilizes BIM both as a product and a process to act as a critical communication and collaboration tool. Most singularly, through BIM, DO delivers a virtual representation of a building inclusive of information about physical attributes of building objects, tracking of construction sequence planning, and detailed description of how building parts are fabricated and assembled – in short, through BIM, DO’s design seamlessly evolves into the building’s most comprehensive facilities management reference. Case in point, our federal government – GSA (U.S. General Services Administration) as a client requires BIM to aid in the operations of its buildings.
As one of the only design firms in the South to utilize BIM exclusively on each and every project, DO advances design through buildingSMART processes. Through its dedication to excellent design and BIM, DO creates the most accurate model that grows from a tool for realization to a virtual representation of a building post-occupancy
