Unlocking Long-Term Value with BIM
How Matter’s Approach Drives Sustainability, Adaptability, and Maintenance Efficiency
At Matter, we believe in creating structures that stand the test of time – financially, environmentally, and functionally. As forward-thinking engineers, we understand that clients seek more than just a completed project; they want an investment that delivers long-term value. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is central to how we deliver that value, supporting sustainability, adaptability, and streamlined maintenance that benefits clients throughout a building’s lifecycle.
Sustainability from Day One
Today, environmental responsibility is not an afterthought, it’s integral to good design. BIM empowers us to design with sustainability in mind by modelling and monitoring embodied carbon for each material and assessing energy use early in the process. These insights allow our team to make data-driven decisions that significantly reduce a building’s carbon footprint. By incorporating energy performance simulations, we design structures that use resources wisely, reducing operational costs while helping the planet.
For clients, this means a structure that’s sustainable, cost-efficient, and aligned with Matter’s commitment to delivering future-ready solutions.
Built to Adapt
A building should be as adaptable as it is resilient. BIM provides the tools to future-proof your investment, with common data environments mapping every detail. This makes future renovations, expansions, or retrofits a seamless process. Whether adjusting for growth, updating to meet new regulations, or integrating advanced technologies, BIM enables precision planning and implementation without compromising the integrity or functionality of the original design.
This adaptability ensures your building stays aligned with evolving needs, giving clients confidence in the long-term relevance and flexibility of their investment.
Efficiency in Maintenance and Operations
The lifecycle of a building doesn’t end at construction. Proper maintenance is essential for preserving value, and BIM’s as-built models simplify this process. Facilities managers gain easy access to critical information, from structural details to mechanical and electrical systems, enabling quicker inspections, repairs, and upgrades.
BIM streamlines maintenance, reducing downtime and minimising disruption while lowering operational costs. For clients, this means a building that performs optimally year after year with minimal fuss.
BIM with Matter: A Lifecycle of Benefits
By integrating BIM into our projects, Matter delivers structures designed for enduring success. Sustainability-focused design, adaptability for future changes, and streamlined maintenance ensure that our clients benefit from more than just a finished project, it’s a lasting asset.
Through BIM, we are shaping an efficient, sustainable, and resilient built environment for the future.
Looking Ahead: The Future of BIM at Matter Consulting
At Matter, we see BIM as more than a tool, it’s a platform for collaboration, precision, and efficiency throughout a project’s lifecycle. With the expansion of our BIM team, we’re poised to stay at the forefront of the AEC industry’s evolving needs.
Goals for BIM Advancement
Matter’s BIM vision is clear and ambitious: to lead in digital engineering by integrating cutting-edge tools and delivering data-rich models that support successful outcomes from design to construction. Matter utilises Autodesk Construction Cloud as our document control platform to ensure seamless integration with those who partner with Matter from project inception to construction completion. By adopting advanced solutions such as AutoDesk Construction Cloud, Revit add-ins, Ai intergrations and Dynamo scripts, we continue to enhance coordination, mitigate risks, and optimise costs, ensuring lasting value for our clients.
Staying Current with Industry Developments
Our expanding team brings deep expertise across high-rise commercial, industrial, and educational sectors, combined with technical precision in managing BIM processes. With new perspectives in computational design, VR, and award-winning application development, we’re broadening our capacity to deliver innovative, future-focused solutions.
Adapting to Evolving Project Needs
As projects grow in complexity, our strengthened BIM capabilities allow us to respond with agility and precision. By investing in advanced tools and methodologies, we ensure integrated digital engineering from early design to final documentation. This expertise enables us to deliver coordinated, efficient, and sustainable solutions that adapt to shifting standards and client expectations.
Matter’s BIM team, equipped with a blend of experience and forward-thinking skills, is committed to advancing innovation and creating impactful solutions. Together, we’re excited to continue bringing our vision of sustainable, efficient and innovative design to life, shaping projects that matter to our communities.
