Your building, built twice.
Once on screen. Once on site. The expensive mistakes happen on screen.
There is a mistake in this plan. Find it. (Or just scroll, and the lights come on.)
Found it. A door that swings into a column. On screen: one click. On site: a broken wall and a crew waiting.
What this is worth
On 32 major projects built with BIM, the best results were:

What does one week of delay cost you?
Example numbers. Change them to yours. (rent + lost income) ÷ 4.33 weeks. Nothing leaves your browser.
What should it feel like?
A building is finished when someone walks in and feels something. Light, sound, movement and touch are the materials of that feeling. We design toward it, and the model makes sure nothing stands in its way.
Sound is how a room carries a voice. Calm rings long. Energy stays crisp.
Technology is how we build. Design is why.
Zariya Design Studio is an architecture and interior design studio in Nazirabad, Kolkata. We practise BIM and VR as part of how we design, not as an add-on. By the time a project reaches site, the building has already been built once, in the model, and walked through, in VR.
- Imagine. We start from the brief and the feeling you want, and rehearse it in VR early.
- Model. Structure, services and architecture are built together in BIM, and clashes are fixed on screen.
- Build. A coordinated design goes to site, with the data your team needs later.
