BimWorks Design Group
About Us
Here at BimWorks Design Group, LLC, we offer a comprehensive lineup of products and services for both Commercial and Residential Projects. As the demands for higher performance in all aspects of today’s buildings rise, we partner with teams of architects, engineers, building developers and owners, contractors, and more on projects of all sizes, scope, and complexity.
Integrity in Design, Excellence in Motion
BimWorks or rather Business Information Modeling Works was born out of a passion and the idea that utilization of BIM throughout the whole process, not just coordination, leads to quality, economical and livable spaces.
We have applied this process to projects ranging from Single Family and Multi-Family Residential projects to Data centers, Stadiums and Opera Houses, as well pretty much everything in-between; focusing on specific structural elements such as wall assemblies, floor and ceiling assemblies, and manufacturing practices for both wood and cold formed metal framing and coordinating those elements against other trades (Mech, Plumb, Elec, Fire Protection, ECT).
Every design is informed by the surrounding environment, our clients, and the people that will use the space.
Our Process
Our process is simple. We Draft, Design, or Model your trade to any level of detail (LOD) that you require.
LOD 300
Model Elements are modeled as specific assemblies accurate in terms of quantity, size, location, and orientation. This Level of Development is used for A/E models such as the Design Intent Model.
LOD 350
Model Elements are graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object, or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, location, orientation, and interfaces with other building systems.
LOD 400
Model Elements are Graphically represented within the Model as a specific system, object, or assembly in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation with detailing, fabrication, assembly, and installation information. This Level of Development is considered suitable for fabrication and assembly. It is to be used by specialty trade contractors and fabricators to build and fabricate project components, including MEP systems.
Our Software
MWF is a professional grade Revit framing software that uses scripts to streamline the modeling aspect of Revit (Eg. Removing manual placement of studs; auto-placing studs every x-amount of inches etc).
By employing MWF software in conjunction with our modeling and estimate services, we are able to utilize the power and functionality of Revit to coordinate and design your wall assemblies for the LGS (lite gauge steel) and Wood Framing elements of traditional building practices. This includes all of the Drywall, Sheathing, Structural Connections, and even insulation that go into the walls, so you can order exactly what you need.
What does this mean for your project? Days of work can be done in 1 day.

Meet the Owner
Kyle Amaya
Owner/CEO
A former Boatswains mate In the US Navy, Kyle has an educational background in Architectural Drafting as well as Civil Engineering. He is an experienced architectural Drafter/BIM Manager with 6+ years of experience with Residential (Single family, multifamily, Modular), Commercial and Industrial construction focused on the structural components and building systems using software such as Mitek Sapphire, Revit, AutoCAD, and Strucsoft’s MWF Pro (A plugin for Revit that Automates Framing for Walls, Floors, ceilings, and Trusses, as well as generating shop drawings for construction).
As founder of BimWorks Design Group LLC, Kyle brings his extensive experience modeling all architectural aspects of any given project from the foundation to the roof as well as anything in-between.. His past 6 years have been spent immersing himself fully into the BIM design process, providing a unique and comprehensive understanding of how the "Big Picture" all comes together.
"In today’s rapidly evolving world there is a cry for innovation and support; for buildings to be built with their complete cost in mind, not just the bottom dollar. Through Design and Business Information Modeling techniques, we can unlock the full potential of the spaces we inhabit, taking your vision from paper to reality and build a sustainable society for the future. For me, that dream finally came true with the founding of BimWorks Design Group."
