About
At BIMstudios, we are more than just modelers or expert software users.
- With more than 18 years of experience in the U.S. construction field, we are very familiar with the construction methods, processes, and standards. When reviewing a 2D plan or a DWG file we can pinpoint what information is incomplete, missing or conflicting.
- We have been working in a full BIM environment and helping subcontractors and suppliers do the same since the very beginning of this relatively new field.
- Our firm is BSI-certified in information management at BIM Level 2.
