Why predict
the future
when you
can create it.

When did it all begin
For over 15 years we have developed the use of Building Information Modelling software to deliver projects. We now use this software platform to deliver all projects within the office, even in situations where the client has not requested BIM it is our preferred software platform.

What does it mean
Throughout this time we have become market leaders with our considerable knowledge, intellect and expertise in the use and application of BIM software in the working environment. BIM is actually a process that relies on information-rich models. Project teams can use information contained in the BIM models to perform a variety of complementary tasks, including energy or environmental analysis, visualisation, construction simulation and improving the accuracy of documentation.

Value added
Early access to the rich information in the models helps stakeholders on the project team gain more insight into their projects. As a result, the team can make more informed decisions much earlier in the planning, design, construction, or renovation process when decisions can have the greatest impact on project cost, schedule, and sustainability.

What we do well

• Content creation — Families and Materials
• Training and support
• Advice on hardware requirements
• Partnering solutions with clients on project delivery

Why V.R.? Virtual Reality
The introduction of the V.R. platform within the company was born out of a need for us to be able to give our clients a high level of 3D visual information that we had access to via the BIM platform. The problem with the BIM platform is the specialist nature of the operating hardware, and we needed to find a 3D software system that was less demanding.

How it works
Using the BIM 3D model created for Planning and construction provides opportunities for better understanding of projects through accurate technical 3D visualisation. Through the development of a software bridge we are able to import technically accurate models into the V.R. package, allowing us to create accessible real time 3D models for our clients.

What are the results?
VR software, unlike traditional visualisation methods provides the possibility of fast still and moving HD image production and even real time exploration of sites directly from the planning or construction information without the need for render farms and weeks of expensive computer processing time.

3D printed architectural models are physical, scaled representations of building designs created using additive manufacturing, offering high precision, speed, and cost-effective alternatives to manual modelling. They are crucial for visualizing complex geometries, communicating concepts to clients, and conducting site analysis.

• Concept Models — Abstract, quick models used early in the design phase to explore ideas
• Working Models — Functional prototypes allowing designers to test structural elements, lighting, or spatial arrangements
• Presentation Models — Highly detailed, aesthetically finished models for client meetings, demonstrating colours, textures, and final design
• Context/Site Models — Large-scale models representing surrounding urban or geographical areas, often using real topographic data
