Facility and Planning Design
Capture existing conditions before beginning the design phase. Map and document how a facility andd its equipment are configured now. Replace lengthly manual measurements with an accurate and fast 3D scan - plus a point cloud or OBJ that you can import directly into you BIM software.
Optimize Equipment Installation
Use a Virtual Factory Layout (VFL) to measure between objects and secure a flawless arrangement to the facility. Save time and money by eliminating equipment clashes and change orders due to inaccurate site plans.
Create an Equipment Inventory
Create a visual evidence of assets on hand. Label equipment with digital tags to documnet repairs, purchase and training information. Easily share visual inventory with maintenance personnel.
Train New Employees
Share a 3D walkthrough of your facilities with new or visiting employees so they can quickly navigate the facility and get work done. Highlight key sites with Mattertag Posts(virtual sign posts) so employees can connect physical resources with digital resources. Increase situational awareness for employees and first responders in case of emergency or disaster incidents.
MicroBIM (Micro Building Information Modeling) is a Revit plugin and is a specialized approach within the broader BIM framework that focuses on the detailed design and management of small-scale projects or specific building components. It is characterized by its precision in modeling intricate details, such as fixtures, fittings, or smaller construction elements, often used in projects like renovations, interior design, or highly customized spaces. We have automated the process from design to workshop cut sheets, this includes fabrication lists, cutting up of pipes and number of pipes all with a single click.
Key Features of MicroBIM:
- High Detail Level: MicroBIM provides detailed, accurate representations of small-scale components, ensuring that every aspect is modeled to exact specifications.
- Scalability: It allows for focused modeling on specific areas or elements within a larger project, making it easier to manage and refine details without overwhelming the entire model.
- Efficiency in Design: By concentrating on specific aspects, MicroBIM enhances efficiency in design processes, enabling quicker iterations and precise adjustments.
- Integration with Broader BIM Systems: MicroBIM models can be integrated into larger BIM frameworks, ensuring consistency and coherence across different scales of a project.
- Enhanced Collaboration: With its focus on specific details, MicroBIM facilitates better communication and collaboration among specialized teams, such as interior designers, architects, and engineers, ensuring that all details are aligned with the overall project vision
Alternative functions such as exporting Revit models to various hydraulic platforms and auto design tools make for a streamlined design done in a fraction of the time. Click here to see Matterport in action
ADDITIONAL LGA MANAGEMENT INNOVATIVE PROJECTS
EJM-Claim Process: Through our custom accounting system, our claims process is professionally developed for the industry we build in.
Enterprise Resource Planning Software
EJM Construction Costing Software has been an invaluable tool for managing our financials in the construction industry.

Fire Stopping
Fire stopping is a critical component in fire protection systems, designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings and gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings.
It involves sealing joints, penetrations, and other gaps in building structures to contain fires and limit damage. We provide Hilti Solutions for Fire Stopping.
Benefits of Fire Stopping:
- Safety First: Fire stopping helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke, saving lives and reducing property damage.
- Compliance: In many jurisdictions, fire stopping is a legal requirement in building codes, and non-compliance can result in hefty fines or legal consequences.
- Cost Savings: Preventing the spread of fire minimizes damage to the building, reducing the overall cost of repairs and potential downtime.
