BUILDING INFORMATION MODELS (BIM)

Building Information Models (BIM) are emerging as the new standard with respect to project documentation and design deliverables. The living three-dimensional models that are created serve as the dialogue by which design teams can coordinate the systems of a building, aid the contractors on site with real-time visual references and continue to evolve during the life span of the building as a tool for data and systems or even personnel management.

DeSimone has completed several projects where BIM technology was a key focus of the design and construction. These projects were very successful in minimizing and eliminating construction change orders that result from coordination inconsistencies. DeSimone actively works in CATIA, Digital Project, Rhinoceros, Revit and 3D AutoCAD as BIM platforms. Sustainability

With the ongoing industry focus on sustainability, DeSimone has devoted significant resources towards understanding green issues as they apply to building design. DeSimone continuously stresses optimization as a means to reduce energy and material use, thus minimizing a project’s environmental impact. Our efforts in combination with our extensive sustainable experience allow us to fully support and advance our clients’ green agendas in our practice and within our work.

DeSimone is a United States Green Building Council National member organization, and we promote utilization of both the LEED and ISO rating systems within our projects. While the utilization of these standards represents a basic framework for sustainable design, we prefer instead to focus on definitive performance-based goals on a project-by-project basis.

We are also engaged in ongoing efforts to improve our industry’s sustainable impact both inside and outside of our firm. Numerous employees are involved in local industry organizations and their efforts to establish and improve green guidelines as they apply to structural engineering. We also utilize in-house education to improve our understanding of those technologies and innovations that are making sustainability increasingly more achievable.

DeSimone also fully promotes sustainability within our built environment. We strive to minimize our impact on the environment by endorsing sustainable and conservation ideals throughout all of our operations.
