With BIM/VDC, the Hunt team cost-effectively builds the project twice — one virtually and one physically. Utilizing BIM/VDC, we share the continually updated 3D, 4D and 5D models with all members of the design/construction team.

Through the implementation of pioneering FM software in Phoenix, we are able to provide the owner with a data-embedded 6D as-built. As part of commissioning, we train an FM member how to service equipment through the building lifecycle.

Implementing these 3D, 4D and 5D tools early in the construction process ensures that projects complete as envisioned and within the schedule.

On recent projects, for example, we identified 1,200 clashes and corrected them virtually before they appeared in the field. This level of early clash detection can save a substantial amount of money throughout the course of construction. We also planned underground utilities without incurring unexpected delays and coordinated sequencing by using a 4D timeline linked with a 3D model.
