Technology We Utilize

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

We use Building Information Modeling (BIM) through Revit to produce highly coordinated, data-rich 3D models that support accurate, efficient design and seamless collaboration. Revit allows us to integrate structural elements directly with architectural and MEP models. Our BIM-driven approach enhances clarity, reduces rework, and ensures that our designs are as practical on site as they are on screen.

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

While we embrace advanced 3D modeling through BIM, AutoCAD remains a reliable and effective tool in our workflow—particularly for projects where 2D documentation is preferred or required. We use AutoCAD to produce clean, precise construction drawings that are easy to interpret and coordinate. Its flexibility allows us to respond quickly to changes, produce accurate details, and maintain compatibility with consultants and clients who work primarily in 2D. With deep experience in both traditional CAD and modern modeling environments, we're able to tailor our approach to suit the specific needs of each project.

Structural Design Software

We use industry-leading structural analysis software to ensure our designs are safe, efficient, and optimized for real-world performance. We utilize RISA for general structural analysis and design of steel and concrete elements, and SAFI GSE, a full finite element analysis platform, for more complex or custom structures requiring advanced modeling capabilities. For timber design, we rely on WoodWorks, which allows us to analyze and detail everything from standard framing to engineered wood systems. This range of tools enables us to handle diverse structural challenges with precision and confidence.

Other Specialized Tools and Equipment

Our team uses laser distance gauges, digital levels, laser levels, hardness gauges, and thickness gauges to collect precise measurements and verify field conditions. This equipment allows us to conduct reliable site investigations, assess structural integrity, and ensure that existing conditions are properly reflected in our designs.
