iTech

BIM and what iTech offers, he adds, is not merely 3D design, but also coordination of the disciplines with the modeling. "It's the whole set -- a very, very fresh technique and process," says Petrovic, who is excited to be working with this type of technology and approach. As a trained engineer and experienced manager, Petrovic says that he's spent the last seven years working on energy-efficient projects in a variety of roles. "I've learned in my work there is always a huge lack of communication," he explains. "No one is able to gather all the details in one place." He says that working in this BIM mindset translates into fewer mistakes and saves clients a lot of money. In the future, he foresees a time when engineers will not be able to get on engineering alone. With technology handling more and more of the calculating aspects, engineers will be forced work on more decision-making tasks rather than only calculating sizes. They must learn now the ins and outs of coding, how systems work, etc. says Petrovic. The best moment to jump into a project is in the concept phase of design. This is where iTech's capabilities can be utilized the entire process through, from building design to construction and facility management, "but you have to have enough experience," Petrovic says. Consistency, he adds, makes a substantial difference when it is present from a project's inception to completion. During the Abu Dhabi Medical Rehabilitation Centre audit the experience of the iTech team paid off. Quality assurance and quality control procedures ensured the health of the BIM model, he explains, and that there were no technical problems and the model was properly presented. "We focused on coordination and then issues which may arise with the construction site while actually performing the work," he adds. iTech's work for the client is complete, but Petrovic says the experience was another example of why he is happy to be with the company. This native Serbian has enjoyed spending time with his team, but is even more excited about being a part of the BIM revolution and its implications for the future of modeling technology and coordination.
