BIM & Facilities Management Services

An accurate building model, built once and used for the life of the facility
Talk to an Advisor

A building model is only worth what it saves once construction starts.

Before anything gets built, MDI creates a detailed digital model of the building, so problems such as pipes and ductwork running into each other, or systems that do not fit where they are supposed to, get caught and fixed on a screen instead of discovered mid-construction, where they cost time and money. For buildings that already exist, MDI can scan and document the structure as it stands today, which matters for renovations or when a building is being bought, sold, or insured and someone needs to know exactly what is there.

What You Can Expect

A single coordinated model, carried from design through the final as-built record.

Coordinated 3D Model
Structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems combined into one model.
Clash Detection
Conflicts identified and resolved before construction begins.
Construction-Ready Drawings
Generated directly from the model instead of redrawn from scratch.
Ongoing Model Updates
Kept current throughout the project as designs change.
As-Built Record
A final model reflecting exactly what was constructed.
Laser Scanning
Existing conditions scanned and modeled for renovation or expansion work.
Open Data Format
Delivered without being locked to one provider's software.
Clear Data Ownership
An upfront answer on who owns the model and its data.
Why the Model Matters
A clash caught on a screen costs nothing. The same clash caught on a job site costs weeks.

How You Win

Fewer Change Orders
Fewer surprises once construction is already underway.
Lower Project Cost
Lower overall cost despite the upfront modeling investment.
Faster Completion
A faster path to completion with fewer rework cycles.
Better-Informed Design
Decisions made during design, not discovered after.
A Record That Holds Value
Stronger footing in a sale, refinancing, or insurance renewal.
Lower Renovation Risk
A reliable baseline for future expansion or renovation work.

Our Approach

01
Model the Building
Build a single coordinated 3D model spanning structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
02
Detect and Resolve Clashes
Run clash detection before construction begins, so conflicts get fixed on a screen, not a job site.
03
Generate Construction Drawings
Produce permit-ready drawings directly from the model, keeping design and documentation in sync.
04
Update Through Construction
Keep the model current as designs change, culminating in an as-built record.
05
Hand Off an Owned Record
Deliver the model in an open format with a clear answer on who owns the data going forward.
