BIM / VDC

AMP is a Level III, readily equipped BIM authority with full in-house capabilities. With all the tools necessary to adapt new systems and models around almost any project, the AMP team can do it all.

Change orders can make or break a budget on any project. What if you could minimize the amount of change orders in the planning phase, instead of mid-construction? BIM technology has the ability to detect potential clashes between the trades before construction, so that they can be planned for and avoided ahead of time. Also, by knowing what types of changes and materials the project team needs to complete the job, the estimators are able to create a more accurate budget for the “bricks and sticks” of the building.

As the saying goes, “time is money” and since BIM, by its very nature, improves the coordination of a project, it not only helps minimize change orders, but it also requires total collaboration on projects. With more minds and points of view working together toward a more efficient and effective design, many issues are resolved during the design phase rather than being found, and consuming valuable time, during the construction phase.

Operating a new building can be a tough task. There are countless pieces of equipment that all have their own unique repair and maintenance schedules. What happens when the designers and constructors are done? After a project is complete, the client is left with a model that contains an enormous amount of valuable information and data about the building. That information can be leveraged to save even more time and money in the future. Lowering operating costs and doing more with less is something all building owners strive for.
