CivilJungle

What Is Architecture? The techniques and art of making the layout of buildings and constructing the building are architecture. Designing and decorating, selection of furnishings, having supervision for construction, and renovating or remodeling a building. Architecture is an art. Architecture is just not only art.

Please don’t clean up my wall intersections.

I should start with a disclaimer: I model in Archicad 13; That is whenever I need to assess something quickly and am not constrained by other project-needs nor the limitations of the software itself. So, what I am about to write may no longer be an issue in Archicad 14, nor the other modelling packages people use.

“I just don’t really understand what’s the point using this?”

DebunkTheBIM

Asks Gergely, who I presume to be a ‘model purist’.and This little-battle is between Archicad and me – I repeatedly ignore the creators’ hints to use the product in-a-certain-way and force it ‘kicking and screaming’ to perform tasks I dream-up. and good on him for standing up for something as noble as that.

Same, same but different – My mother is not getting paperfreeconstruction, the concept.

DebunkTheBIM

When VICO picked up Constructor about 5 years ago, it elected to upscale the reasonably capable but also architect biased modelling software into a complicated construction suite. Get rid of the architectural baggage Archicad was weighed down with, and make Constructor a stand alone, construction focused, modelling package.

Another example why it is better to stay out of BIM surveys…

DebunkTheBIM

Earlier this year a survey was published in New Zealand: [link] “This New Zealand National BIM Survey 2012 report has been prepared by Masterspec on behalf of the construction industry. It provides a credible picture of present day attitudes and progress made towards Building Information Modelling (BIM) in New Zealand.”

BIM Construction Cost Estimating – Top Ten List

Building Information Management

While the industry is currently fixated upon 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, Bentely… they only represent components of a BIM solution. Here’s a list of BIM Construction Cost Estimating Requirements: 1. Metrics and Benchmarks – Time, Accuracy, Cost.
