Why Do Architects Need BIM?
Fewer RFIs and Coordination Issues
The average project has 9.9 RFIs per $1M in construction value, and on average take 2 weeks to answer. The cost impact of RFIs during construction is far and away higher during construction compared to during the preconstruction phase.
74% of surveyed businesses using BIM on their projects reported very high or highly improved project process outcomes, such as fewer RFIs and field coordination problems.
These reduced RFIs account for massive cost savings, and in one project case study, a 10x return on investment in BIM.
Improved Productivity
73% of surveyed businesses using BIM reported very high or highly improved productivity of personnel. BIM allows users and stakeholders to share information more effectively.
Save Time On Schedule
In a case study done on the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center project – the contractor and mechanical sub credited BIM for significant schedule and time savings. The mechanical contractor for the project estimated a 50% reduction in labour and schedule time.
The project was completed 6-months ahead of schedule and the contractor credited 4D simulations with improving and optimizing the project schedule.
Better Marketing and RFPs
76% of surveyed BIM experts found using BIM improved their marketing of new business to new clients. As more clients require BIM on their projects – it keeps your business competitive and able to submit on these projects.
Marketing BIM in your proposals can also be used as a leg up on other consultants who are not yet utilizing BIM correctly on their projects.
Better Client Meetings
The visual aspect of BIM makes design intent, issues, and decisions about the project easier to communicate.
Not every stakeholder is trained to understand drawing sets the way architects do. BIM allows for a form of visual communication not otherwise possible allowing you to get faster approvals, more project buy-in, and less miscommunication.

3D Modeling
Transform your designs into detailed, intelligent 3D models that enhance visualization, coordination, and precision. At Pixel BIM, we create highly accurate BIM models that help architects refine their concepts, detect design inconsistencies, and collaborate seamlessly with engineers and contractors.
Our 3D modeling services help architects:
- Improve design accuracy by ensuring all elements align properly
- Enhance visualization with detailed models for client presentations and approvals
- Streamline coordination by integrating structural and MEP elements early
- Optimize documentation with model-based drawings for seamless project delivery
From conceptual massing to fully developed, data-rich BIM models, we provide the tools to bring your designs to life while reducing errors and revisions.
Clash Detection
Ensure design integrity and seamless project coordination with proactive clash detection that identifies conflicts before they become costly revisions. At Pixel BIM, we analyze your architectural models alongside structural and MEP systems to detect interferences, misalignments, and design inconsistencies early in the process.
Our clash detection services help architects:
- Preserve design intent by resolving conflicts before construction constraints dictate changes
- Improve collaboration with engineers and contractors through coordinated models
- Reduce RFIs and redesigns by addressing issues before drawings are finalized
- Enhance efficiency by streamlining multidisciplinary integration in BIM
By catching clashes before they impact construction, we help architects deliver more precise, well-coordinated designs while maintaining creative control.
Visualization
Bring your designs to life with high-quality renderings and immersive virtual walkthroughs that enhance communication, decision-making, and client engagement. At Pixel BIM, we create stunning visualizations that help architects convey their vision with clarity and precision.
Our visualization services include:
- Photorealistic Renderings – High-quality images that showcase materials, lighting, and design intent for presentations and marketing.
- Virtual Walkthroughs – Interactive 3D experiences that allow clients and stakeholders to explore spaces before construction begins.
- Animations & Flythroughs – Dynamic videos that illustrate spatial flow and design progression.
Whether you’re presenting to clients, securing approvals, or refining design details, our visualization tools provide a compelling and realistic preview of your project.
Custom BIM Solutions
At Pixel BIM, we understand that architects need more than just modeling and coordination—our services extend to enhancing design workflows, improving documentation, and streamlining collaboration at every stage of a project. Whether you’re refining early concepts, ensuring compliance, or preparing for construction, we provide the tools and expertise to bridge the gap between design and execution.
Our additional services include:
Site Planning & Massing Studies – Optimize project layouts, assess feasibility, and refine zoning compliance.
Documentation & Detailing – Ensure consistency across drawings, schedules, and specifications for smooth project approvals.
Project Coordination & Model Auditing – Review consultant models, verify integration across disciplines, and maintain design integrity.
Digital Twins & As-Built Models – Capture real-world conditions for future renovations and facility management.
From early-stage feasibility to final construction documentation, we offer customized BIM solutions that help architects design with confidence and deliver with precision.
