We then create a proposal that outlines the scope of the project and the estimated cost. Once the proposal is approved, we begin the design process which includes research, BIM, conceptualization, and revisions. Once the design is finalized, we will provide you with the final files and any necessary instructions for implementation.

The technology provides a digital representation of the physical and functional along with the data and metadata that goes along with all the components.
