BIM Services

BIM Implementation –  we specialize in implementing Autodesk BIM technology for architects, engineers, contractors, and owner/operators. We utilize a 4-phase structured approach to technology implementation (Assesses, Plan, Solve, and Confirm) to minimize the "productivity dip" through proper software configuration, timely training, and regular project mentoring.

Building Product Manufacturers (BPM) BIM Production Services –BPM’s that provide BIM-ready information of their product line to architects during the design phase of a building project gain an advantage by getting design into the building project specs and increase business.  U.S. CAD is able to assist BPM's by building the BIM-ready models needed to deliver directly to architects, engineers, and builders to gain an advantage, increase marketing, win project bids and increase sales.
