Virtual Building^TM Concept

The Virtual Building^TM embraces the entire building industry and manages the entire information life cycle of buildings. Unlike a simple 3D model on a computer, the Virtual Building^TM contains a great deal more information about the building's materials and characteristics. It is a 3D digital database that tracks all elements that make up a building. This information can include surface area and volume; thermal properties; room descriptions; price; specific product information; window, door and finish schedules; and more.

The Virtual Building^TM model is useful for all professionals connected to the building industry - architects and residential designers, interior designers, real estate agents, facility managers and marketing staff. Working from the same Virtual Building^TM as the architect, the real estate agent can easily obtain exact room dimensions and area calculations, present perspective views from any vantage and even invite prospects on a virtual tour of the building. Interior designers can begin working during the planning phase on the same Virtual Building^TM model. After construction is complete, building managers are able to use the comprehensive materials list and integrated 3D partition plan to track building assets and modify spaces.
