Evolve My BIM Tools

The BIM process offers a wide range of tools designed to help you pre-plan and execute your construction scope more efficiently. From field layout apps to advanced robotics and augmented reality, these technologies extend the intelligence of your office models directly to the field.

Proper training ensures your team can leverage these tools to reduce rework, improve productivity, and make smarter decisions on-site. At BIM Evolve, we specialize in implementing and training your staff on the latest BIM technologies to maximize efficiency and accuracy.

There Are a Lot of Tools in the BIM Process to Help Us Pre-Plan and Build Our Scope

Just like a hammer or clamp, tools have evolved over the years—and BIM has introduced a few powerful ones of its own. Do you know what they are?

While PlanGrid is one of the more popular tools your field might use for layout, there are plenty of others ready to support your workflow, including:

iPad AutoCAD Layout – Extract on-demand data directly in the field.
Dusty Robotics – Lay out up to five times more information compared to other tools.
HoloLens – Display extended framing information not shown on shop drawings.
BIM 360 Apps – View 3D models and 2D shop drawings in the cloud.
Dynamo Custom Programming in Revit – Save time and money through automation.

Get your field and support teams trained in these technologies to extend your BIM IQ from the office to the field. All this intelligence is embedded in the 3D models we build for your projects.

Engage our team to elevate your BIM capabilities. Inquire today to learn more about our staff training programs. We thrive on staying at the forefront of cutting-edge construction technologies.

Reduced Rework and Improved Productivity

In construction, research and development budgets are typically less than 1% of revenue—much smaller than in other industries. As a result, the construction sector often lags behind in adopting new technologies.

Contractors typically lose about 5% of a project’s value to rework caused by design and construction errors. Some reports estimate losses as high as 12%.

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, productivity in the construction industry has increased by only 1% per year over the past two decades.

However, augmented reality (AR) is changing that. With AR headsets, field employees can receive direct, intuitive instructions, reducing training costs, minimizing downtime, and boosting overall efficiency.

BIM Evolve’s Impact

At BIM Evolve, we stay on the cutting edge of BIM technology to create real-world efficiency for field workers.

Our actionable innovations using HoloLens include:

Creating accurate 3D models that framers can use for field layout.
Allowing framers to view MEP penetrations in real time to plan framing strategies accurately.
Displaying wall schedules, door tags, stud types, backing information, and more through the HoloLens interface.
