Switzel International delivers 5D models which enable various participants (architects, designers, contractors and owners) of a construction project to visualize the progress of construction activities and its related cost over time.
We deliver 5D virtual design & construction models loaded with complete information about the material requirements and costs at every stage of a construction project. Every change in the design has a cascading effect on other factors such as estimation of material quantities and thereby, the related costs.
We enable clients to take BIM to Site with drawings for execution, assembly and installation. Since we have multi-disciplinary teams working at our studio, clients get added benefits in terms of extracting integrated and coordinated drawings. Our BIM models allow for direct exports to fabrication software, enabling more off-site fabrication and “just in time” delivery.
Our building model simulation services help facility managers as well as owners achieve sustainability goals for energy efficient buildings. With proper understanding of sustainability challenges and importance of occupant comfort and safety, we offer complete support throughout designing, analysis, evaluation and verification of minimum energy consumption.
Our team of specialists is well-versed with USA and UK regional codes to assist you in green building planning for necessary local approvals.
Our customized “LEED + Revit” deliverables are very useful for sustainable projects pursuing the USGBC’s LEED rating.
