Learning About BIM Coordination
Probably like you, I had never heard of BIM Coordination until I joined a digital marketing agency called Black Raven AFC in Chesterfield, Missouri. One of the first clients that I worked with was a company called Cadblox. Cadblox is a group of BIM Technology experts who provide 3D Modeling for Masonry Contractors. So what does that mean, exactly?

According to Autodesk, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.

Cadblox, specifically, has used this technology to work with Rice University, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the St Louis arch-grounds.

So basically at Cadblox, BIM technology / BIM coordination allows masonry contractors to speak to all other trades through their Cadblox 3D LOD 350 model. This will eliminate any potential conflicts between various MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and FP (fire protection) systems.

So it is through BIM technology that architects and engineers can evaluate design options and automatically generate accurate 2D drawings from the 3D models.
