BIM at Tri-State isn't a separate department that hands a model over a wall. Our BIM team works alongside our field superintendents and crews — modeling the pour, flagging coordination issues to the GC and engineer of record before they hit the field, and producing the shop drawings and layout files that the placement actually uses.
That feedback loop is the difference between BIM as a marketing line and BIM as a way to actually finish projects on schedule. When a clash shows up in the model, we know what it means for the pour sequence — because we're going to be the ones pouring it.
BIM that costs less because it's not a different company.
Concrete-focused BIM goes deeper than a generic federated model. Here's what comes out of our shop on a typical project.
Concrete-scope models tied to the architectural and structural backgrounds, with pour sequences, embeds, and finish elevations called out.
Model-driven takeoffs for concrete volume, rebar weight, formwork area, and embed counts — used for bidding and for cycle-time planning.
Reinforcement shop drawings produced and issued from the model — bar lists, bend schedules, placement plans, and engineer sign-off coordination.
CAD/point-cloud files for robotic total stations — embeds, anchor bolts, edge of slab, control lines, and column starter points laid out directly from the model.
Concrete-scope clash detection with MEP and structural trades, plus an organized RFI log that keeps coordination from stalling the schedule.
Visual pour-sequence plans that align with the construction schedule — including crew sizing, equipment staging, and concrete delivery windows.
The same model serves different stakeholders at different points in the project.
Clashes flagged before the field. Takeoffs that match the bid. Pour sequences that fit the master schedule. Layout files that work the first time.
