BIM 6D & 7D Services

Building Information Modeling can serve as a valuable source of information beyond project delivery. BIM 6D and 7D workflows enable project stakeholders to integrate performance, sustainability, asset, and facility information within a centralized digital model that supports operational and lifecycle requirements.

Neilsoft supports organizations in developing information-rich BIM models that facilitate sustainability-related assessments, asset information management, facility documentation, and operations support throughout the lifecycle of an asset.
