Using digital design to create efficiencies in home building.

Since 2010, Oakwood has used BIM to create 3D models of its plans for use in the home design, production, and purchasing process. BIM helps reduce both the revision time necessary to finalize a plan and possible construction setbacks.

Less than 5% of U.S. home builders use BIM. The initial adoption of BIM was costly, but it’s paid off for Oakwood: 3D model homes were used in its Green Valley Ranch community, and 127 of the available houses sold before the real model was finished.
