After all, most construction contracts are still based on drawings and there is a belief that ‘we build off drawings’. Yet it is undisputable, that a large percentage of those drawings are created in a model-based software. For better or worse, most of building related data lives in model-based environments.

This approach is somewhat surprising considering that in most contemporary construction contracts PDF’s as the digital representations of drawings have often higher standing than model files or even DWGs. Why are there no more efforts made to guide PDF users through thousands of drawings by the originators?

In my experience, those AEC practitioners, that (for whatever reason) do decide to ‘suddenly’ get familiar with ‘a’ BIM originating software will always prefer the full software to a dumbed down viewer and will learn to use the ‘real’ thing as opposed to the somewhat idiot-proof substitute. For example, PDF Spatial Re-constructors.

“Committed to making nRAH an exemplar for the industry” It does not seem that long ago that the BIM environment was swarming with pilot projects. Some were completed, some abandoned, many ended up as glossy case-studies in industry magazines carefully referencing chosen software packages used. Archicad at its best).

The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment will not happen until change management is accelerated. This has included “CAD” using PEAC, GDS, MicroGDS, AutoCAD, MicroStation, SketchUp, ArchiCAD and “Raster” using Cadcore/Hitachi PrEditor, ScanGraphics, Scan2CAD, etc. Igor Starkov, Co-founder of EcoDomus, Inc.,
