We have maintained a very pragmatic approach to BIM that complements the office wide BIM approach spearheaded by the Design Systems team. SMG focusses on a Parametric BIM approach, which has been used in large and geometrically complex projects such as Kuwait International Airport and the National Bank of Kuwait.

SMG operates as a mediator between architectural geometry and engineering, integrating engineering calculations within parametric models. This means that we can generate design options much more quickly.
