Making a commitment to become industry leaders in BIM is not a light responsibility. Everyday is a new opportunity to learn and grow. After all, BIM changes and grows every minute. We have established four principles to guide our efforts. You can review them by reading out our introductory post here. In summary, they are: […]
One of our main reasons and goals when working with worksets is to improve the performance of our models. For this reason, they become increasingly important and it becomes necessary to master using worksets correctly. First, let’s make sure you understand what a workset is. Worksets can be a great tool to help manage your […]
Many people suffer from an illusion that scope boxes are only useful in large scale projects, but the truth is that they are a very handy tool for any size project and they are incredibly easy to set up. Easy to set up and able to manage basic functions, they can also be very powerful […]
Many of us in structural engineering think we know architects. We know what they do, how they need to do it and why they need to do it. Every project is different, but we generally know our biggest client type. Or so I thought. I recently spent eight full days in an architect’s office learning […]
The PES team has always endeavored to remain a leader in the constantly advancing BIM industry. The company has established guiding principles for these efforts, designated several employees to lead the internal BIM movement and have formed three distinct groups that handle BIM efforts on all fronts. We fondly refer to the groups as RUG, […]
You may have heard about schedules. You’ve most likely seen them used in plans, but have you ever stopped to consider just how useful they can be? From quantity take-offs to quality control, schedules are an incredibly useful tool that shouldn’t be overlooked. So what exactly is a schedule for BIM and how does it […]
BIM has become a buzzword (buzz-acronym?) across the AEC industry but it’s important to recognize that simply using Revit doesn’t make you or your organization an expert in BIM. Technology must integrate and meet with interdisciplinary collaboration. One of the primary aspects of succesfully implementing BIM processes is information sharing, which means a more efficient project. […]
Less time and less waste. It’s the goal of any design team, right? Advancements in Building Information Modeling, or BIM, are allowing designers and constructors to take huge leaps in cutting construction waste, reducing field time, and trimming project budgets. However, basic BIM principles and other time and cost saving improvements are rarely utilized in […]
