Project Aproach BA. / BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) OVERVIEW management, and allocation of risk must be addressed To ensure a seamless transition from the project's at this early stage. Samet will lead these discovery design phases to the construction phase, we will sessions, document the outcome, and follow through utilize BIM as a tool to build, analyze, and resolve by implementing the results. construction issues in a digital environment prior to 2.

The ability to work in a digital environment allows The architects and design consultants developthe project's design in three dimensions, as 3D for flexibility in information exchange and promotes better communication among the project team. representations of the project's program.
