Let's talk about estimating costs for the construction of a work. When purchasing the necessary materials, were your calculations accurate? How much extra quantity variance did they add to their estimate?

Way behind are the days of visualizing buildings through sets of drawings. Digital transformation is here, and with it came many new tools and possibilities for BIM experts around the globe. Today, we can visualize a building through 3D modeling and geometry, and that’s not a minor thing. This process was designed to solve numerous construction problems like reviewing mistakes on budget, redundant construction, and the decrease of facility efficiency.
We love doing our job but we get an extra reward when you help the community. The Center of Hope project consisted of making a series of renderings that allow the client to give life to the project and have precise material to show to future investors. These agents are a key part of the project, their resources are needed to make this project happen.
