Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Our team's experience in BIM allows us to deliver the following for our projects.:

Accelerated Design Process
Detailed 3D renderings on demand
Data Richness: a powerful tool for building management - areas, numbers of elements, schedules
Tight coordination and clash detection of engineering elements
Quick, accurate, coordinated revisions
Enhanced visualization and communication
Deep analysis: energy modeling, lighting analysis, shadow studies
Cost analysis: area and quantity takeoff used for immediate budgeting and scheduling
Change management: changes are fully coordinated throughout the evolution of the drawings set

Enhancing Experience Through Design

Clients hire START Architecture to design a building, but what they get is a space that enhances experience.

By considering the interaction between sensory, elemental, economic, and environmental factors, START creates designs that have the potential to influence the way people think, feel, and interact within a space.

START sees design as a means of facilitating ideal experiences that ultimately enhance a company’s brand or a community’s culture.

Always looking for new ways to harness the potential of design, START incorporates sustainable designs into its architectural design practices. Contact START to learn more about the potential of design.
