Building Information Modelling (BIM)

At Mistral Architects & Surveyors, we use the latest BIM software produced by Autodesk, including Revit and Enscape, to assist with the design and communication of design ideas. Our BIM models enable us to produce accurate design models that can be visualized in three dimensions, allowing us to walk through the building model to assist the design process and enable the client to visualize the building and make adjustments to the design if necessary.
