Building Information Modeling

Building Information Modeling (BIM) helps clients reduce costs by minimizing change orders, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design conflicts and information requests during construction. We leverage our BIM expertise to give clients a clear and holistic line of sight to the structure’s design and functionality so they can have more control over the final product.

Construction projects are incredibly costly – and vulnerable to fluctuations in both pricing and the supply chain. That’s why an increasing number of clients turn to Dialectic for BIM services. BIM is just one more way the Dialectic team keeps our clients informed and engaged throughout the MEP design and build process.

BIM is the most robust tool available for construction information management – and our Dialectic engineers are experts in it. BIM gives clients a full digital description of every aspect of the built asset. Leveraging BIM at the start of a project leads to a significant reduction in change orders, conflicts and the kind of back-and-forth that’s all too common in most projects. The bottom line: It saves clients time and money.

BIM gives clients a complete package of information, integrating 3D modeling, 4D scheduling and 5D cost-estimating capabilities into one space. BIM also allows us to analyze a range of other factors, including spatial coordination, energy, sustainability and facility management. Partnering with our clients, we can then predict conflicts, collaborate on key decisions and move forward with a thorough package of information.

As a firm that prioritizes transparent communication and collaboration, we champion using Business Information Modeling with our clients to ensure we’re aligned on all aspects of the design and build.

Clear picture

We use BIM across market sectors to ensure clients have a transparent view to all facets of their design. This allows us to minimize conflicts and save money and time.

More control

Because BIM gives clients a continuous line of sight to all information feeding into their design, they have more control over the outcome. The result: early and continuously, our clients have access to the information they need to make key decisions, decreasing change orders, design conflicts, and requests for information, leading to controlled costs.

True partnership

Leveraging BIM allows us to deepen our client partnership. We prioritize collaboration and communication, which is why we advocate using BIM at the start of every project.

Fewer pain points

Every construction project has trouble spots. It’s the nature of the industry. But BIM allows us to minimize them tremendously and pivot quickly if they do arise.

Success Story: The Capital Grille

JKRP Architects called on Dialectic to solve a plethora of unique challenges as The Capital Grille moved to a new location in Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza district. The 100-year old building previously housed a retail location, requiring significant renovations. The new design featured two kitchens on different levels of the building, bringing another level of complexity to the project. Consistent communication led to proactive planning and quick resolutions to deliver a world-class customer experience.
