Back in 2008 when Group2 began using BIM the main output was the 3D model for client and design team visualization. Since this time the use of BIM at Group2 has evolved from a 3D modelling tool to an information-intensive tool where use the of BIM transfers directly from the design to the job site. BIM now impacts the design process in multiple ways including functional programming through the use of DRofus to Real-Time Rendering and VR add-ins like Enscape to the integration on the Construction site using technology such as PlanGrid or Viewpoint for Field View. The presentation will describe multiple Group2 projects which will show the evolution in the use of BIM at Group2.
Master’s degree in Architecture. After graduation in 2000, Troy worked for 4 years in Calgary before moving to Edmonton to work for noted Alberta architect Barry Johns. In 2007, Barry Johns (Architecture) merged with Group2 Architecture Interior Design.
