Design excellence is measured in the public sector as much by value, sustainability, maintainability and fiscal responsibility as it is by the outward beauty of a project. Technology is embraced to ensure that the firm’s documents, specifications, consultant coordination and field communication are of superior quality. Dougherty + Dougherty adopted the use of Autodesk REVIT Building Information Modeling (BIM) system in 2007 and has a fully-networked system from which all of the firm’s projects are designed. Because of the firm’s early adoption of BIM, our designers are among the most proficient in its use, bringing solution based proactive problem solving capability to the team. The resulting high quality, photo realistic digital renderings are useful tools for communication, outreach and fund raising efforts. REVIT BIM files are made available to the contractor as projects move into construction, facilitating Integrated Project Delivery, Design-Build and Lease-Leaseback methodology – the client’s best options for on-time, on-budget projects.
