Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become an essential aspect of modern construction, enabling teams to plan, design, and manage projects more efficiently. A key feature of BIM is clash detection, which identifies conflicts in design before construction begins. This process saves time, reduces costs, and minimizes errors. Clash detection is one of the most critical…
The world of building design and construction is undergoing rapid change, and at the heart of this transformation is Building Information Modeling (BIM). If you’re an electrical designer or engineer, you’ve probably heard BIM mentioned in the same breath as sustainability and green building certifications. But what does BIM bring to the table for electrical…
