Did you catch the recent Dallas Morning Newspaper article titled
'3D comes to home design'? Local Dallas architectural design firm
RC3D, Inc. specializes in Three Dimension (3D) to create an accurate 'virtual' model of your building on the computer.
As a homeowner, realtor, remodeler, builder and developer - you can 'see' your design in 3D with more interactive exchanges during the design process. Changes are instantly made in the virtual model resulting in time and cost savings, with elimination of errors and omissions.
Our virtual building model facilitates Building Information Modeling (BIM) - a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a project. As such, it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a project forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle from inception onward.1
Based upon this virtual model,
RC3D provides you valuable estimating data about the building materials, bill of quantities, cost of project as well as decrease construction waste from the same virtual file - saving you time and money while enhancing the overall construction process. Come have lunch in our offices to learn more about BIM estimating - did you watch the 12th April episode of Extreme Home Makeover on ABC TV? They built a custom 3,600 sq ft home, single storey, for 9 people, with 27 ft ceilings, 96 windows, 450 sheets of sheetrock, 153 yards of concrete - all put together by 2,500 volunteers who drank over 3,000 cups of coffee?! We can give similar building information - but not the manpower & counts of coffee on your jobsite!
Instead of trying to understand a flat floor plan sketch of your project - why not view it in interactive 3D, BIM model? Click here for the full article.
