Virtual PrototypingImagine being able to explore every area of a proposed project before the first brick is laid. Imagine being able to visit every room, look out of every window, understand the size and shape and feel of every space, before committing to the costly process of building anything. Regrettably most clients undertake building projects with at best a very partial under-standing of the product they are purchasing, and only really understand the implications of the choices they have made when it is too late, or very costly, to change. It does not have to be like this. Archangel models every building project we undertake, and then allow our clients and other stakeholders to explore it, either with a movie, or with Virtual Building Explorer. This is not something we reserve for large projects - every Archangel client can benefit from a virtual prototype of their project. And because our business has been designed around the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) from the very beginning this is not an expensive extra, but is offered within a standard fee structure. Our vision is to provide clients with such a good understanding of their proposed build-ing that when they enter it for the first time they already know it, because they have "been there before". |
