At Alki Design, BIM doesn’t stop at the technical level; we bring it to life through 3D modelling. By immersing clients in realistic visualisations of their projects, we provide a deeper understanding of spatial relationships, light dynamics, and material finishes. This interactive experience empowers clients to make informed decisions and see their ision realised before construction begins.

We've elevated our approach by integrating ArchiCAD with the Actually App, a groundbreaking New Zealand-developed tool designed by architects and quantity surveyors. This app allows us to:

Assess building costs, performance, and embodied carbon in real time.

Adjust materials and construction techniques during the concept stage.

Instantly see the impact of changes on financial, functional, and environmental metrics.

For example, if a client wants to explore alternatives to a proposed building material, we can demonstrate live how this adjustment will affect costs, energy efficiency, and carbon footprint. This adaptability ensures that every design is optimised for performance, sustainability, andbudget without sacrificing beauty.
