BIM (Building Information Modeling).
The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows us to generate dynamic, 3 dimensional models from the professionals' designs with the construction properties attached to each building component.
From the model, building quantities and costs are extracted and arranged to enable stakeholders to scrutinize the information collaboratively which leads to more accurate results.
As projects evolve and changes occur, the model and outputs are updated along the way for enhanced change management.
"Build Before You Build"
Our commitment to model-based estimating and control gives us the added opportunity for detailed "clash detection" as well as enhanced "value engineering".
Execution, Monitoring & Controlling
As a project progresses from the planning stages on to execution, the need for effective post contract cost management is critical to the success of the project. Neustone integrates the costing information established at the planning stages with powerful tools and methods to ensure concise project cost accounting and management.
In addition to integrity of the costing information, we have successfully utilized the models to enhance the 4th dimension of the BIM tools...the schedule. By disaggregating the models to individual elements, the building sequence and task durations are clearly defined.
The final and most important element of our process is our commitment to attracting, developing, and retaining a core of committed professionals.
