Modeling technology improves integration for higher quality results

Arnold & O’Sheridan has invested in the future with building information modeling, a technology that is transforming the relationship between building owner, architect, engineer contractor and construction manager. The precise, intelligent nature of the software enables the team to model projects in a three-dimensional landscape, allowing every stakeholder and discipline to assess how the facility will come together in the field. The technology eliminates the need for reading two-dimensional plans, allowing building owners to confidently make informed decisions about layout, architectural features and engineering solutions.

Changes to the model are instantaneous and universal, saving time and limiting errors and omissions in the plans. In addition, the model’s ability to detect clashes between engineering systems and architectural design reduces construction change orders. The technology is a key factor in integrated design, a principle that Arnold & O’Sheridan is committed to as a means for improving project outcomes.
