1. BIM is more productive than CAD

Organizations can accomplish more with less effort and

resources. A model can provide 40-70% of necessary

construction documentation. BIM reduces duplicated

efforts and inefficiency most commonly associated with

traditional CAD methods. This allows the architect /

designer to create better homes by focusing more

attention on the visualization, analysis and sustainable

aspects of the design. The builder can then expect to

make better use of resources and a more predictable

outcome thanks to higher-quality and more complete

construction documentation that drives further value and

accuracy to the manufacturing and estimating stages.

2. BIM improves Operational Efficiency

The workflow no longer has to “re-create” data at each

stage of the build cycle. Each discipline is leveraging

the work of another discipline and simply adding

efficiency to the cycle and reducing errors and

omissions. BIM effectively functions as a catalyst with

each discipline gaining more momentum from the

previous development iteration.

3. BIM Benefits Everybody

A misconception of BIM is that it increases risk when in

fact the exact opposite is true. BIM provides a managed

and accountable process to reduce risk in the product

development cycle. By enhancing collaboration,

coordination and cooperation across the entire workflow

you can expect to reduce errors and bad designs earlier

in the design cycle. Errors and omissions caught in the

design phase alone, versus correction in the field, can

easily justify the investment in BIM and will improve

designs, cost-estimating and ultimately sustainability.

A purpose-built BIM solution for the residential industry

provides an organization with a realistic and measurable

path to reduce errors and omissions, saves time,

manage resources and deliver a more sustainable

product to the marketplace.

Powered by Autodesk Technology™, VisionREZ® is a

purpose-built BIM solution for the residential industry!

The discovery process is an 80/20 analysis of your

development cycle and upon completion we will present

you with a BIM Implementation plan that is best suited

achieving your business objectives.

Implementation

Consisting of training, education and additional

optimization techniques our BIM Implementation

program is a proven and flexible solution that

corresponds to your objectives, workflows and

resources. Ameri-CAD leverages our industry

knowledge, experience and software solutions to ensure

your success. In addition, we can augment your product

development needs with our Architectural Services

division to help you reduce costs and workloads that

may detract from higher level objectives.

Ameri-CAD customers receive the benefits of us being

part of the Fortune 200 organization, Illinois Tool Works.

The support of ITW places Ameri-CAD ahead of the

competition by providing unrivaled services, solutions,

Consulting & Implementation services.


The Building Information Model is the source of

synergy between all operations in the product

development cycle. Acting as a catalyst, BIM

leverages data input from each stage of the

cycle to reduce errors and redundancy. All of

these elements lead to better designs, fewer

errors and better management of resources

which is the foundation of “green” and

“sustainable” building development. No other

2D drawing, 3D results…1 program!

The fast paced residential construction industry of today

calls for design software with “out-of-the-box” usability,

with an uncomplicated interface and simple set up.

VisionREZ achieves this by allowing users to build an

accurate Building Information Model (BIM) with little

more effort than it takes to draw a set of plans using

traditional 2D CAD methods.

Intuitive project set-up

In VisionREZ, wall styles, wall heights, trim styles and

roof styles may be set. VisionREZ includes a library of

predefined window and door styles while providing the

option to create your own, or download others. Standard

templates save time and provide a uniformity in drawing

style across several users in one or multiple offices.

Bridging the gap with digital fabrication

Bridging the gap between architects and manufacturers

is a groundbreaking solution for VisionREZ. Capitalizing

on BIM platform technology, Ameri-CAD and ITW are

bringing digital fabrication for the light frame wood

market to the Autodesk design environment.

Powered by Autodesk Technology, VisionREZ is

purpose-built for residential Building

Information Modeling (BIM) with innovative

solutions that are focused on areas most likely

to enhance overall quality and performance.

Explore design concepts early in architectural

development stages while coordinated 3D models and

2D construction documentation reduce errors and

increase accuracy.

Schedules populate Bill of Material listings to aid cost

estimates and 3D models are collaboratively shared with

manufacturing solutions to increase efficiency and

reduce waste.

VisionREZ will allow you to streamline work processes,

deliver more accurate documents and higher-quality

designs. From Concept to Production, VisionREZ is

designed to work the way you build.

VUDOX collaboration

Go green and be lean with online collaboration

from VUDOX. Pronounced “view-docs”, Ameri-

CAD’s collaborative solution is an easy-to-use

and affordable service that allows you to

efficiently share information with your

organizations and related enterprises. These

benefits are achieved by leveraging the power

of the Internet to deliver your data with easy

and effective view, print and distribution

functionality.

Securely share up-to-date data with your extended

enterprise, 24 hours a day. VUDOX provides authorized

users access to their drawings, files, and other

specifications whenever and wherever they need them.

VUDOX will allow you to:

�Increase Revenues through improved communication

and productivity

�Reduce Time to Market by improving your workflow

and increasing accountability

�Reduce Risk by documenting and maintaining project

management processes, decisions and changes

Most importantly, you will Save Time, Save Paper, and

Save Money! All organizations look for ways to increase

profit margins and to reduce operating costs. Why not

start these processes by saving instead of spending?

Reducing unnecessary mail, courier, reprographic can

open up major saving opportunities.

Easy to learn and use, VUDOX puts the power in your

hands to deliver projects on time and on budget!

Options management - coming soon!

Options Management is more critical than ever

because builders must increasingly address a

market that demands greater design selections

of their home. Custom homes cannot be

delivered in many markets, but the buyer still

expects a variety of offerings even in a starter

home requiring many builders to make

extensive use of options for housing products.

Municipalities demand lot specific drawings and the

fabricator and purchaser need an options management

system that will deliver accurate drawings and bill of

materials to purchasing, vendors and fabricators quickly

and accurately, without costly re-draw of every sale. The

expanding complexity of managing large numbers of

options results in more design and drawing errors,

inaccurate sales orders, scheduling delays and

customer dissatisfaction.

Options Management by VisionREZ allows the

homebuilder to be more flexible and responsive to buyer

needs by greater management of options through the

effective use and implementation of Building Information

Modeling (BIM) technology solutions.

Benefits and value:

�Variety to the homebuyer

�Lot specific documents to the municipality

�Economies to the supply chain

�Concept delivery to marketing

�Speed to market

�Viability for the industry

�Turnkey installation

�Material usage management

�Green configurations

�Improve inventory

�Earlier lead time on specialty items
