Walsh Brothers

3D coordination and clash detection provide opportunities for early trade coordination, prefabrication of systems and equipment, safer working conditions, and less waste on jobsites. Utilizing BIM, we are realizing those benefits in the project schedule as well as reductions in costly field changes. Walsh Brothers takes every opportunity to utilize this important time saving process on each and every project.

Linking a model with our Primavera P6/P7 scheduling platform is allowing us to prove out and visualize the scheduling logic we've created long before putting a shovel in the ground. Adding in project specific safety and logistical requirements also allow us to make certain we are creating the safest working conditions for everyone on site.

We're using BIM to create models of complex details such as flashing, waterproofing, and air/vapor barriers in order to better understand the complexity of these details and vet out potential issues before material is ordered. By engaging our subcontracting partners in the development of these detailed models we ensure that the entire team understands the installation requirements in order to deliver a higher quality and timelier product in the field.

Detailed logistics plans provide a road map for the onsite team and work as a visual communication too tan array of users can access and understand. We have an extensive library of BIM components in house in order to build a model that illustrates to most accurate site conditions and well thought out preplanning. We also use the model in order to display our proposed phasing and communicate these requirements to our owners, abutters, and trade contractors.
