* Are you worried about the financial and time
invenstment required to advance to BIM?
Yes there are financial and time investments
required to advance your company to the next level, but you have to
spend wisely! Your company would never have gotten it's start if risks
weren't taken. The key is to do reasearch and seek the most efficient
means to obtain your goal.
Using KP-Grafix can advance you to the next
level faster than you ever imagined. When compared to trying to do it
yourself and learning by trial and error, the savings are
huge.

Are you falling behind
the competition and worried that you will never catch
up?
"Catchig up" should be the least of your
concerns in these hard economic times. You are a business owner and
should be concerned about surpassing your competition! Using KP-Grafix
to leap-Frog your competion is the smartest thing a business owner can
do.
*
Is your company
missing opportunities because you are not BIM
capable?
KP-Grafix understands. Federal Government,
Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense, and most Sate and local
government branches have all required a BIM product in their RFPs. It is
only a matter of time until local juristictions require BIM (Revit) as a
mandatory requirement. KP-Grafix can get you there quickly and
efficiently!
*
Are you ready for
BIM, but your Key Personell keep stalling?
KP-Grafix has come accross this
hurdle before. More times than not it is a common occurrance
with staff falling into a "comfortable rut" because of lack of education
about the BIM process. This is an internal issue that needs
education to overcome. The future is now, and those higher level key
personnell have to realize that evolutioin is paramount to
succeed.
* Is your BIM staff in need of direction and
focus?
Are you currently using BIM and your staff is
still in chaos? KP-Grafix can help you re-gain your focus with
template and standards creation. KP-Grafix will help you regain your
'team' approach that you have worked so hard to
achieve.
* What is BIM and why do I need it?
National Building Information Modeling
Standards (NBIMS) definition:
"...a digital representation of physical and
functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge
resource for information about a facility forming a reliable
basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from
earliest conception to demolition. A basic premise is BIM is
collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life
cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in
the BIM to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder"
BIM is a way of creating your entire project
in a virtual world before actual construction begins. Through the BIM
process, all systems (Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing,
Electrical, and Civil) can be modeled and tied into a real-time schedule
to see the creation of the structure "virtually". Collision Detection
can be performed at any time to see if any sub-system is in conflict
with another or if the scheduling has to be adjusted to allow
contractors to install their systems in proper time sequence
(4-D).
The process of BIM has a very different
approach to development than your typical Design-Bid or even
Design-Build approach. Unlike the typical design process, BIM
demands a much higher level of devolopment in the early stages. This
front-loaded approach actually saves time and money in the long
run.
The "parametric" values associated with BIM
allow actual descriptions of products to be associated with the model.
This allows for better and more accurate scheduling of items needed for
construction and can give more accurate requirements for time of
delivery.
