Awot I architecture engineering FIRM PROFILE ACAI was founded in 1985, offering a wide range of services including planning, architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, roof consulting and construction management. ACAI has provided services on virtually all types of projects. Our design work runs the gamut from master planning through construction administration (CA) services for medical, educational, residential, industrial and commercial facilities. Our engineering work has focused on roofing consulting, including investigation, reports, recommendations and design. And our construction management is just that: Managing of construction activities. ACAI believes that good architecture is the physical manifestation of good ideas. We strive to create facilities that reflect a unique synthesis of their mission, functional purpose and, appropriately, express the spirit and personality of their ownership. Our design work is delivered through Building Information Modeling (BIM) and we're quite knowledgeable in BIM, Our commitment as skilled advisors to our client remains as it has been in the past -- answering needs with creative ideas, innovative solutions and well- executed, professional services. Nova Southeastern University - Center for Collaborative Research Davie, Florida Design Criteria and Building Information Modeling - Services OPPF,- P_ Coral Glades High School Coral Springs, Florida DESIGN CRITERIA SERVICES As a representative to the Owner, we believe that the design criteria professional (DCP) serves as the intermediary to the Owner, design builder and construction industry. This third party role requires the DCP to be both professionally and technically qualified to relay and translate the owner's needs into objectives that can be understood and quantified by the design, real estate and construction industries. The DCP must have a strong understanding and appreciation of the design process while also understanding the construction marketplace and processes, so that the project can be presented to receive the best - value proposals and pricing when it is advertised. At ACAI, we believe a good DCP will always be fair and impartial in their reviews and decisions between owner and contractor and that the DCP works to deliver the most cost - efficient project without compromising integrity or quality. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING The incorporation of traditional design and drafting techniques with the latest advances in 3D modeling and animation, computer renderings, CAD drawings, BIM and document management impart a greater level of accuracy into each ACAI project -- and better service to our clients. Cutting -edge technology is utilized for scanning and modeling throughout the pre- design, design and post- design phases to provide each project with greater efficiency, imagination and success; whether acting as third party consultants or design professionals. Most recently, the use of BIM software has been preferred. BIM is used to explore a project's key physical and functional characteristics digitally before it's built, greatly reducing conflicts and streamlining the construction process. As an added value to the Owner, BIM contributes to the life -cycle of the building as it can be used as a facility management tool.
