Building Information Modeling

Building Better Starts
with Building It Virtually.

At Klover, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is more than creating a 3D model. It is how we bring architectural, structural, MEP, engineering, and construction information together before fabrication or installation begins.

Our BIM team works alongside engineers, project managers, our prefabrication shop, field teams, and other trades to identify clashes, improve constructability, and translate complex building designs into fabrication-ready panel systems. By solving challenges virtually first, we help reduce field conflicts, improve efficiency, and create greater certainty from design through installation.

BUILT BEFORE WE BUILD

Our Approach to BIM

3D MODELING
& COORDINATION

We combine architectural, structural, MEP, and trade models to coordinate building systems and identify potential conflicts before construction begins.

DESIGN FOR
FABRICATION

Our BIM team translates coordinated models into detailed fabrication drawings that guide our prefab shop down to individual studs, openings, connections, and components.

CLASH DETECTION
& CONSTRUCTABILITY

We identify conflicts between framing, structure, ductwork, conduit, openings, and other building systems early, when they are easier and less costly to solve.

DESIGN THROUGH
INSTALLATION

We consider fabrication, trucking, crane picks, sequencing, tolerances, and field installation throughout the BIM process to help projects move more efficiently from model to jobsite.

“At Klover, BIM is the glue that connects design, engineering, prefabrication, and the field. By building and coordinating the project virtually first, we can solve problems earlier, work more efficiently, and deliver a better product for our clients.”

35 Years of Excellence

From Digital Model Built Reality.

BIM connects Klover’s technical expertise with our prefabrication and field capabilities. Using platforms including Revit and advanced coordination tools, our team can virtually build and coordinate complex wall systems before materials reach the shop.

The result is more than a model. It is a coordinated plan for fabrication, logistics, installation, and project success, helping Klover deliver safer, smarter, more predictable construction.

FAQS

BIM Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Building Information Modeling (BIM), and how is it used in construction?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of creating a detailed digital model of a building and its systems before construction. BIM allows architects, engineers, contractors, and trades to coordinate their work in a shared 3D environment. At Klover, BIM helps turn complex building designs into coordinated, fabrication-ready wall panel systems.

2. How does BIM help identify clashes and construction problems before they reach the jobsite?

BIM allows project teams to identify conflicts between framing, structural components, ductwork, conduit, openings, and other building systems before installation begins. Klover uses clash detection and coordination to resolve these issues virtually before materials are fabricated. This helps reduce field conflicts, rework, delays, and unexpected costs.

3. How does Klover use BIM for prefabricated wall panels and off-site construction?

Klover uses BIM to translate architectural, structural, engineering, and MEP information into detailed models and fabrication drawings for prefabricated wall panels. Our BIM team coordinates individual studs, openings, connections, structural components, and other details before drawings reach our prefab shop. This creates a direct connection between digital design, off-site fabrication, and field installation.

4. How can BIM reduce construction costs, field labor, rework, and project delays?

BIM helps teams identify potential construction problems when they are still easier and less expensive to solve. By coordinating systems before fabrication and installation, Klover can help reduce rework, unnecessary field labor, material waste, and schedule disruptions. BIM also helps optimize panel sizes, trucking, crane picks, sequencing, and installation.

5. How does BIM improve coordination between architects, engineers, MEP trades, contractors, and field teams?

BIM gives project stakeholders a coordinated digital environment where building systems can be reviewed together before construction. Klover works with architects, structural engineers, MEP trades, project managers, our prefab shop, and field teams to resolve conflicts and improve constructability. This early collaboration helps create a smoother transition from design to fabrication and installation.

6. What BIM software and technology does Klover use for modeling, coordination, and fabrication drawings?

Klover uses industry-leading BIM technology including Revit, Navisworks, Revizto, and StructSoft to support modeling, coordination, clash detection, and fabrication. These tools allow our team to coordinate with other trades while modeling wall systems down to individual components. The resulting information is translated into detailed drawings that support our fabrication and field teams.

7. Why should general contractors and project owners involve Klover’s BIM and prefabrication teams early in a project?

Early involvement gives Klover more opportunity to identify constructability issues, coordinate with other trades, and optimize systems for prefabrication. Decisions made during preconstruction and BIM coordination can have a major impact on fabrication, logistics, field labor, and installation schedules. Bringing Klover in early helps create greater coordination, predictability, and schedule certainty before construction reaches the field.
