3D VISUALIZATION
New technologies are now permitting us to reach beyond the limitations of a 2D platform and embrace the realm of a 3D digital world. With the use of new software's, Architects and designers alike are able to draw and develop all aspects of a project from Structures to Landscaping in a three dimensional model.
At Hammerhead Design, we utilize some of these 3d design softwares to design every project. Some of the Benefits of using 3D models to design a project are:
-
Helps Communicate Site Layout
-
Enables Realistic Visualizations
-
Reduced Lead Time, Errors, Costs by identifying problems earlier
-
Ensures Project Timelines and Conformance
-
Promotes team Synergy and a collaborative environment
-
Enhanced Designs and improved Customer Communication
BIM MODELING
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technique used in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry (AEC) to create and manage information in a construction project. A BIM model is essentially a multi-dimensional prototype of the project that digitally depicts all aspects of the project before actually building it.
Some of the key advantages to using a BIM model are,
-
Quicker design time: Changing of an element layered through all disciplines drawings
-
Better Designs: Analysis of proposed design can be performed accurately and Improvements made earlier
-
Better Production Quality:
-
Better Customer Service:
-
Improved Cost Estimates:
-
Improved Coordination and Clash Detection:
-
Reduce Cost and Mitigate Risk:
-
Improved Scheduling/Sequencing:
-
Increased Productivity and Prefabrication:
-
Improved Facility Management and Project Turnover:
At Hammerhead Design we believe that BIM modeling is valuable tool for any construction project. The use of BIM modeling will create a stronger Return on Investment for all stakeholders in a project. There are different levels of BIM Modeling that require different collaboration and team integration. Talk with us about these levels of BIM modeling and how we can best align your project with the appropriate level.
3D RENDERINGS
When it comes to 3D renderings, there are a few different styles such as Interior, Exterior, and Dollhouse. Here at Hammerhead, we can offer these and several other styles to help illustrate your project. Each of these can be developed and presented at different stages of the design process. They are a great tool and a lot of fun to create.
Advantages of 3d Renderings in the design phase are;
-
Design visualization is easier to understand
-
Identify possible design flaws before even breaking ground
-
Gives investors and shareholders a visual representation of a final project
-
Can help market design to potential investors
-
Synergize architectural design features, materials, textures, environment and landscaping
-
Use to assist building authorities visualize the project for approvals
