Here is why Autodesk’s monopoly over the Global AEC is not good, not even for Autodesk:

It started off with CAD, then, when BIM was getting strong enough to stay – it extended over almost anything to do with Construction Information Management. Almost, I state – as the non-graphical data management is still somewhat outside its claws, i.e. project, people and time document management.

PDF as a digital file-format is generally frowned upon by those in charge of creation and management of project information within the AEC industry. This is a very valid point as the quantities drawings and consequently PDFs are produced at are totally out of synch with what is reasonable or manageable.

I am a manager of construction information, tools and people. I believe that hands-on manipulating of project information by all project participants is the key to achieving any meaningful improvement of the AEC industry operating within the post-gambling-era. Design managers working in the AEC: specify what ‘type’ are you!

Mentioned Autodesk yesterday, Archicad, Microstation, Vectorworks, etc. I will come back to the battles that these products fought (and keep fighting) with each other in the building design/documenting landscape, later. Any step can be messed up, and big time for that!

Today’s Global BIM is in worse shape than the one we started off 20 years ago (Note to myself: Brace for hate-mail)

Worse even from that fact, it did little to improve the processes (don’t believe me, go to weekly meetings of medium to large projects), it had done almost nothing to increase accountability and decrease corrupt practices that plague the industry. CAD managers taunted us for file sizes and line types and fonts and RAM. I did, anyway.

Launching the ‘paperfree’ movement, I managed to unsettle her. I documented full houses in 3D ArchiCAD 20 years ago in our design studio, while she looked after our children. She loyally shares my blog announcements on Facebook and looks over Slideshows, YouTube movies, PP presentations I make. I can say, she is a fan of mine.

I am a manager of construction information, tools and people. I believe that hands-on manipulating of project information by all project participants is the key to achieving any meaningful improvement of the AEC industry operating within the post-gambling-era. I’m often asked: have the documents been coordinated?

In traditional documentation we would ‘say it once, and in the right place’, however with BIM, we want to ‘author it once, and in the right place, to be able to report it many times’ Figure 1: Appropriate location of information. The specification is part of the project BIM, and objects live in the specification.

Focus within our industry must be shifted to business processes that encourage collaboration and upfront planning/information sharing: integrated project delivery – IPD, job order contracting – JOC, public private partnerships – PPC, etc. Here’s a “short list” of some items for consideration; 1.
