The ACAI Technology Division, created in 2008, specializes in Virtual Design and
Construction (VDC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM), providing design, drawing
and support services for Architecture, Engineering and Construction Firms, including
the trade and sub markets, as well as Developers, Owners and Building Product
Manufactures. Our workable VDC solutions optimize how projects flow and improve communication
and collaboration enhancing overall productivity for Owners and the entire design team.
.
In addition to traditional delivery CADD standards, most recently, the use of
BIM software has been preferred by many of our clients. BIM ensures better communication,
design delivery, coordination and is used to explore a project's key physical and functional
characteristics digitally before it's built, greatly reducing conflicts and streamlining the
design and construction process. As an added value to the Owner, BIM contributes to the
life-cycle of the building as it can be used as a facility management tool when the project is
completed. This new BIM technology has been seized upon by designers, contractors, owners and
suppliers as a manner in which to reduce costs, inefficiencies, claims and conflicts on projects.
ACAI Technology Division’s experience with VDC and BIM is extensive. Our experienced
staff members are all trained in the latest software and hold bachelor’s degree or licenses
in the design and construction industry. Our team, including architects, engineers, general
contractors and VDC modelers in-house, creates more sophisticated, professional models and work
together to identify clashes, conflicts and design problems virtually in pre-construction before
they become problems and costs in the field. Utilizing the latest software and technologies, ACAI
Technologies is well-versed in REVIT Architecture, AutoCADD Architecture, REVIT MEP, REVIT
Structures, NAVISWORKS and Micro-station in addition to having the latest hardware including Intel
I7 Core, Professional Video Cards and Dual Quad Core Technologies.
