eBDAS BIM - You Can Count On It!

Computing Buildability Scores is generally a very tedious process. You have to measure the length of walls, areas of floors and define the required "Labour Saving Index" (LSI) Systems / compute and total them. However, in a BIM model, if you have used different types of Walls and Floors, you can define these with the LSI systems and compute directly. This is similar to the method used in our 2D Buildability Scores Application.

eBDAS BIM installs as an "Add-In" for Revit 2011, 2012 & 2013. It makes use of your existing BIM Models. There is no need to use specialised libraries or attributes, just define the desired Architectural or Structural Systems for your objects.

Computation is real-time. Any changes you make will be computed across the entire model and you will get your total project Buildability Scores immediately. Work as a single project or open up multiple models each of which is a "block" within your entire project. eBDAS BIM will collate all the different blocks into a "project". Computation of Buildability Scores cannot be any easier and faster.
