3D BIM . Ted Jacob Engineering Group


Very interesting method to represent Visceral Spaces:
3D BIM provides the opportunity for visualization, clash detection, maximizing space for all trades including architectural and structural elements.

Provide a virtual mock-up of construction. This translates to savings in time and cost.

The 3D intelligent data generates material take-off, scheduling and estimating.
