NEW YORK – Turner Construction Company has announced the deployment of SketchUp Pro™, Google’s premium 3-Dimensional model authoring tool and platform. Turner is using SketchUp Pro™ as a part of its standard “digital toolbox” to provide Building Information Modeling (BIM) related services on projects across the United States and around the world.
Turner utilizes SketchUp Pro™ as a 3-D modeling tool due to its user-friendly interface and ability to rapidly produce lightweight geometries. SketchUp is also able to easily scale up and down based on needs: for conceptual “what if” scenario cost estimating analyses, building systems constructability studies, or whole building and site models for sequencing and schedule analysis and work-in-place monitoring during construction.
