Building Information Modeling
The Future of the Industry is BIM

PacifiCAD, Inc. has a proven track record of helping customers implement Autodesk® Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions. Through the integrated BIM process, architects, engineers, builders, and owners have the ability to explore a project’s key physical and functional characteristics digitally—before it’s built. This allows them to design, analyze, document and deliver designs from the conceptual phase through the construction phase, and beyond. By using coordinated, data-rich information models, all members of a project can contribute to its success through improved accuracy, less waste, and the ability to make informed decisions earlier in the process.

The Autodesk approach to BIM provides a broad portfolio of integrated, state-of-the-art applications that help deliver projects faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact. Through comprehensive training and support, PacifiCAD helps you leverage BIM to truly experience your ideas before they’re real.

Sustainable Design
Autodesk BIM solutions help make sustainable design practices easier, more efficient, and less costly by enabling project participants to create coordinated, digital design information and documentation. This information can then be used to more accurately visualize and simulate performance, appearance, and cost, thereby helping to deliver the project faster, more economically, and with the potential for reduced environmental impact. Much of the specific information required for sustainable design, analysis, code compliance, and certification becomes routinely available as a by-product of the design process, helping to save time and money.

Integrated Project Delivery
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is an emerging business model in the building industry that allows for the entire extended team to collaborate early in the process to make the most effective decisions together. The IPD process is built on behavior and contractual relationships that are greatly enhanced by incorporating the technology-based process of BIM. BIM helps project teams use consistent, reliable information in a common collaborative environment, increasing understanding of design intent, improving efficiency, and enabling new ways of working that inspire more sustainable design and construction.
