When referencing our extensive BIM (Building Information Modeling) capabilities, Hooper Corporation is speaking of more than a staff qualified and highly trained in computer assisted design (CAD/CADD). Our staff has extensive experience in opening the lines of communication between all coordinating participants on a project. Our experience proves the underlying efficiency brought to a project by implementing BIM, such as improved construction and maintenance efficiency, improved project coordination, and increased productivity, results in decreased waste, time to delivery, and costs.
As Wisconsin was the first state to implement new policies* requiring the use of BIM on certain public projects, Hooper was at the forefront of investing in technologies to incorporate BIM in project delivery.
*On July 1, 2009, Wisconsin became the first state to require the use of BIM on public projects. The BIM requirement applies to the performance of the A/E services under a design-bid-build delivery system on any large construction project, designed as those projects with a total funding of at least $5 million, or any new construction with at least $2.5 million in funding. BIM use is encouraged, but not required on all other projects. Wisconsin also issued its BIM Standard and Guidelines document to facilitate the implementation of BIM on applicable projects.
