fusionBIM Design services

from Design & Documentation to Construction

Our PROJECT GALLERY is a few visuals of projects we worked on to give you just a peek at what we can and have done before. 
With a project portfolio starting in 1992, a lot of our very first projects are not even in digital format. As you can see, we keep up with technology in the AEC Industry, making it possible for us to give our clients the best possible service and solutions for their project goals. We also work closely with all design and construction professionals in each project team to ensure the best outcome for all parties involved.
​
We are happy to help you with all aspects from Design & Documentation to Construction for your project.
Architectural Design Excellence is much more than just pretty pictures. Developing a crystal clear project brief & budget, attention to detail, clear specification and a solid grasp of legislative parameters for each project, ensures that we have happy clients and project teams. 

Collaboration is key to the successful completion of building projects. Over the past 27+ years, along with project teams, we delivered Architectural services to clients nationwide and worked on projects in Africa. 

​We work nationally, utilizing our training, experience and talents to give our clients the best possible service and products. Our practical experience spreads from Architecture, Construction & Tendering take-off, Local Government, BIM Implementation across disciplines, BIM Education, Digital Survey Technologies, Creative 3D Visualization, Leadership and Strategic Marketing & Business Management.​

Registered as SACAP Architectural Professional and an active member & advocate of both the BIM Institute and the BNI Business Network.
To ensure that project deliverables are met each time for our clients, our core task in co-ordination on a project is to assist the complete project design, construction and owner / operation team to optimize communication and accuracy.

To this end we believe that the OpenBIM concept best suits our client's objectives. ​By it’s nature, this approach creates a working environment with: 
  • design excellence as foremost focus.
  • little or no restrictions,
  • real time transparency of all project data and
  • high levels of efficiency, quality and productivity gains.
Our expertise includes:
  • Architectural Practice (2D & 3D-BIM project documentation)
  • 3D Digital building surveys and As-Built drawings / documentation

3D Sun Studies for informed design review

It only took us 5min! 8-)
​Contractors are going on site soon and we did this quick 3D SunStudy of this proposed function space in this project to answer a very valid technical question.

QUESTION was: how will the panel thickness influence the penetration of light and the effect of light and shadows on the interior surface through the laser cut openings? Will we also need to increase the opening dimensions or change the patterns?

ANSWER was: We could clearly see that a 30mm panel still gave us the desired light & shadow effect compared to a 5mm panel.
​
LoveThis: It's that quick to get to real & well informed decisions using the best tools for the job. And the project can continue without any delay.
