Building Information Modeling (BIM) gives a detailed, 3D view of conceptual designs.

Cutting-edge technology unites the disciplines to prevent pitfalls and maximize efficiency.

Project owners can look at the future through Haskell’s application of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Our teams employ the latest digital technology, as architects and engineers design in software systems that combine the computer-generated 3D modeling and database-driven tools of the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry with those developed in the video game industry to create and fully realize conceptual designs. For the professionals involved in a project, BIM enables a virtual information model to be shared by the design team, the construction team and the owner with each professional contributing discipline-specific data to the shared model. Visualization of all aspects of the project in a single environment allows better coordination and development of designs, enhanced clash detection and greater efficiency.

Reduce the risk of rework costs and schedule impacts through automated design conflict identification.

Proactively resolve design issues rather than reacting as issues occur in the field.

Clash detection is the process of coordinating the building systems virtually prior to construction. Through the use of Navisworks software, which is a universal model integrator, regardless of design authoring platform, and built-in clash detection functionality, the Haskell team is able to collaboratively identify and resolve problems that could otherwise result in significant cost implications and delays to the construction project. Prefabrication opportunities are an added benefit that ensures a safer, more efficient jobsite throughout the fully-coordinated 3D design and construction process.

Laser scanning verifies existing facility conditions for renovation or expansion projects.

Eliminate the unknowns in expansion and renovation projects.

Laser scanning involves using laser light to rapidly capture billions of scan data points and accurately produce a photorealistic 3D model representation of existing conditions, which leads to more efficient design and construction processes. The laser scan provides the design team with a tremendous amount of information on obstructions and allows examination of alternate routes and design options to avoid them. Haskell has invested in laser scanning equipment and scanning personnel to execute this new technology service in-house for our clients. This process has been proven to drastically reduce the greatest risk to clients: the risk of the unknown.

Track construction progress more precisely than ever before.

Laser scanning technologies can be employed during the construction phase to capture actual progress and measure it against tolerances in the BIM model. In addition, such scans can alert project managers of construction or installation deviations from the design. This allows faster reactions to minor inconsistencies before they accumulate and cause larger problems in prefabrication and installations.

Enhance project insight and potential for value-engineering opportunities.

Model-based estimating enhances project insight and value-engineering opportunities.

Information embedded in the BIM design models allow the integrated design-build team to quantify the 3D design almost instantaneously at every stage of design development. This produces faster and more accurate estimates that give owners the ability to visualize 3D color-coded model information, compare estimates of different design options, make better-informed decisions, run bid analysis during procurement phase, change analysis over time, and reduce project costs.
