Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an intelligent, 3D model-based process that helps structural professionals to design, detail, document and fabricate structural systems. BIM enables project teams to work more collaboratively – helping to optimise designs, improve accuracy and connect design to fabrication to deliver projects faster and more efficiently.

How is BIM used?
Using BIM, structural engineers can make more informed design decisions, automate construction documentation and produce more accurate, constructible designs.
What are the benefits of BIM for structural engineers?
BIM helps structural engineers optimise and automate designs, reduce errors and risk, and improve accuracy and constructability, while improving overall project delivery.
