Three facts about residential BIM

1. BIM is more productive than CAD

Organizations can accomplish more with less effort and resources. A model can provide 40-70% of necessary construction documentation. BIM reduces duplicated efforts and inefficiency most commonly associated with traditional CAD methods. This allows the architect / designer to create better homes by focusing more attention on the visualization, analysis and sustainable aspects of the design. The builder can then expect to make better use of resources and a more predictable outcome thanks to higher-quality and more complete construction documentation that drives further value and accuracy to the manufacturing and estimating stages.

2. BIM improves Operational Efficiency

The workflow no longer has to “re-create” data at each stage of the build cycle. Each discipline is leveraging the work of another discipline and simply adding efficiency to the cycle and reducing errors and omissions. BIM effectively functions as a catalyst with each discipline gaining more momentum from the previous development iteration.

3. BIM Benefits Everybody

A misconception of BIM is that it increases risk when in fact the exact opposite is true. BIM provides a managed and accountable process to reduce risk in the product development cycle. By enhancing collaboration, coordination and cooperation across the entire workflow you can expect to reduce errors and bad designs earlier in the design cycle. Errors and omissions caught in the design phase alone, versus correction in the field, can easily justify the investment in BIM and will improve designs, cost-estimating and ultimately sustainability.

A purpose-built BIM solution for the residential industry provides an organization with a realistic and measurable path to reduce errors and omissions, saves time, manage resources and deliver a more sustainable product to the marketplace.

The Building Information Model is the source of

synergy between all operations in the product

development cycle. Acting as a catalyst, BIM

leverages data input from each stage of the

cycle to reduce errors and redundancy. All of

these elements lead to better designs, fewer

errors and better management of resources

which is the foundation of “green” and

“sustainable” building development. No other

Go green and be lean with online collaboration

from VUDOX. Pronounced “view-docs”,

Ameri-CAD’s collaborative solution is an easy-to-use

and affordable service that allows you to

efficiently share information with your

organizations and related enterprises. These

benefits are achieved by leveraging the power

of the Internet to deliver your data with easy

and effective view, print and distribution

functionality.

Securely share up-to-date data with your extended enterprise, 24 hours a day. VUDOX provides authorized users access to their drawings, files, and other

specifications whenever and wherever they need them.

VUDOX will allow you to:

Increase Revenues through improved communication

and productivity

Reduce Time to Market by improving your workflow

and increasing accountability

Reduce Risk by documenting and maintaining project

management processes, decisions and changes Most importantly, you will Save Time, Save Paper, and Save Money! All organizations look for ways to increase profit margins and to reduce operating costs. Why not start these processes by saving instead of spending? Reducing unnecessary mail, courier, reprographic can open up major saving opportunities.

Easy to learn and use, VUDOX puts the power in your hands to deliver projects on time and on budget!

Options management - coming soon!

Options Management is more critical than ever

because builders must increasingly address a

market that demands greater design selections

of their home. Custom homes cannot be

delivered in many markets, but the buyer still

expects a variety of offerings even in a starter

home requiring many builders to make

extensive use of options for housing products.

Municipalities demand lot specific drawings and the fabricator and purchaser need an options management system that will deliver accurate drawings and bill of materials to purchasing, vendors and fabricators quickly and accurately, without costly re-draw of every sale. The expanding complexity of managing large numbers of options results in more design and drawing errors, inaccurate sales orders, scheduling delays and customer dissatisfaction.

Options Management by VisionREZ allows the

homebuilder to be more flexible and responsive to buyer needs by greater management of options through the effective use and implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology solutions.

Benefits and value:

Variety to the homebuyer

Lot specific documents to the municipality Economies to the supply chain
