Company Process Assessments

BuildingPoint Midwest and Gulf Coast’s AECO industry experts will evaluate your company processes from BIM, Estimating, Scheduling and Project controls.  We will work with your company’s various departments to understand your current processes and report on areas of potential enhancement and improvement.  Our process involves numerous one-on-one interviews with department team members which include outlining process flow diagrams. 

At the conclusion of our assessment, a detailed company-wide process report will be produced that includes a road map for implementing process improvements, including opportunities for new software and hardware solutions.  Before implementing a new process or software solution we recommend a detailed review of your current processes.

We offer competitive model creation services while delivering high-quality information.  We provide that extra wow factor in your project acquisition stage through the creation of project-specific logistics or other business development models. 

On projects, we will model to your specific needs and create deliverables that range for coordinated models to 2D layout drawings.  We can model everything from Architectural and Structural systems to detailed MEP components and even specialized system models for use in prefabrication efforts.

Virtual Design and Construction Process Implementation

VDC is the process of using BIM tools to virtually design and build your project. Increase project productivity through the creation of a project BIM and coordinate the flow of work in a virtual environment that can be easily replicated in the field.

From project coordination via Tekla BIMsight to model-based estimating and scheduling via Vico Office, BuildingPoint is your go to resource to help companies and project teams with their VDC process implementations and specific project needs.  We will lead the VDC process across your project from acting as the BIM coordination lead to managing your Integrated Project Delivery team.  

  • We will help you understand what is being asked for on a project around BIM deliverables, including contract review and process scopes.
  • Stop prototyping your project in the field, instead prototype it virtually to better impact your project budget and schedule
  • Use the project BIM deliverables to visualize your project Schedule and Budget
