Britt Rice Electric has been incorporating the use of BIM for some years now. We are committed to using the BIM process to produce a construction project where trades work together to identify, coordinate and eliminate conflicts prior to these issues affecting the schedule. We believe that when used properly BIM can be utilities to:
• Improve visualization
• Improve productivity due to easy retrieval of information
• Increased coordination of construction documents and reduce conflicts with other trades
• Embedding and linking of vital information such as vendors for specific materials, location or details and quantities required for estimation and tendering
• Increased speed of delivery
• Reduced Costs
Currently we use the following software in our BIM process:
• REVIT MEP 2011
• AutoCAD MEP 2011
• Navisworks Manage 2011
•Trimble
