INTRODUCTION
“
Having worked with IMA Architects for
the past 8 years on a variety of buildings,
ranging from £0.5 to £35m, I have always
found them to be a vital part of the design
team that we work with. Having an eye for
exacting detail, but at the same time having
a commercial awareness of the deal and
build costs that can be afforded, IMA have
delivered time and time again.
They have helped to deliver innovative,
timeless and high quality developments,
I would not hesitate to recommend them.

BIM Projects (Building Information Modelling) BIM, to use the industry acronym, has for many years now been a core component or our design process. Good Architects have always evolved innovative forms while thinking and sketching in 3D. Significant investment in training, hardware and software some years ago, means the vast majority of our design work is delivered in 3D to maximise collaborative engagement and minimise misunderstandings. Utilising 3D modelling software and state of the art software, photo realistic imagery is achievable very early in a design process, which can be further enhanced by integration into drone technology imaging.

Using state of the art 3D scanning technology
we can undertake surveys that would otherwise
be very difficult either through limited access
or due to the number of components involved.
The output from the scan is a point cloud model

This can be used for a variety of purposes, not least
