How We Do It
At DSD, we leverage Building Information Modelling (BIM) to bring our architectural philosophy to life, ensuring that each project not only fulfils functional needs but also inspires and connects people with their surroundings and local culture.
BIM is a collaborative process that leverages intelligent 3D models to generate and manage data throughout a building’s entire lifecycle. This data includes both physical and functional characteristics of the facility, providing a shared knowledge resource for informed decision-making across design, construction, and operation stages. By using BIM, DSD develops intelligent, data-driven designs that improve collaboration and decision-making throughout the project’s lifecycle. This results in spaces that are not only visually stunning but also highly functional and sustainable.
BIM allows us to manage the entire design and construction process with precision. Whether serving as a BIM Manager or BIM Coordinator, we integrate cutting-edge technology with our design ethos to offer a seamless flow of information between stakeholders. Our BIM services include architectural deliverables and the provision of structured data – 3D models, schedules, and more – that facilitate cohesive collaboration and sustainable design solutions.
Our architectural philosophy is grounded in the belief that architecture should not only fulfil functional needs but also inspire and connect people with their surroundings and local culture.
Numbers Speak for Themselves
Collaborative and Informed Design: With BIM, we collaborate closely with the entire Building Design Team to ensure that all elements – from architecture to engineering – are fully coordinated. This approach ensures that each project not only meets functional needs but also reflects our commitment to designing spaces that respect their natural surroundings and are tailored to the inhabitants’ needs.
Harnessing Technology for Sustainability: A core benefit of Virtual Building using BIM is its capacity for simulation and analysis. We can conduct virtual testing for energy efficiency, daylighting studies, ventilation, structural integrity, and clash detection – all essential for creating climatically responsive and sustainable designs. This ensures that the final construction is not only aesthetically pleasing but environmentally responsible, echoing our commitment to sustainable development.
The Power of 3D Visualization: BIM gives project stakeholders the unique ability to visualize and experience the design in 3D, ensuring a deep understanding of the building’s relationship to its surroundings before construction even begins. This visualization empowers more informed decision-making, allowing adjustments that enhance functionality and environmental harmony.
Efficiency and Coordination for Sustainable Projects: By utilizing 3D digital models combined with intelligent data, DSD delivers better-coordinated and higher-quality construction projects. BIM helps ensure that all project information is reliable, reusable, and easily shared—resulting in cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable designs that adhere to our architectural philosophy.
At DerrickSteven Design, we believe in designing for the future, creating spaces that balance beauty, functionality, and sustainability – building not just for today but for generations to come.
“You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledgehammer on the construction site.”

Why Incorporate BIM
The use of BIM allows for greater efficiency, collaboration, and cost savings throughout the building design and construction process compared to traditional 2D design and drawing methods.
