Building Information Modeling (BIM) has transformed the way architects and engineers approach design and construction. For Modernfold Chicago, the integration of BIM with solutions like Modernfold partitions, Skyfold automated walls, and McKeon doors enhances project efficiency and design accuracy.

What is BIM?

BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a digital representation of a building’s physical and functional characteristics. It allows architects to create detailed 3D models, providing insights that enhance visualization, collaboration, and informed decision-making across the project lifecycle.

Architects and engineers use BIM to visualize and coordinate structural elements, making sure that components like operable wall partitions fit seamlessly into the overall design. By integrating with BIM, Modernfold, Skyfold, and McKeon products can align perfectly with structural requirements, leading to more efficient project workflows and reducing the risk of costly adjustments during construction.
