Building Information Management

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. That said, BIM has been preoccupied with 3D visualization to the extent that many/most feel that Revit, Archicad, et al are all that’s needed to implement BIM. Enter… OMNICLASS, COBie, MasterFormat, UniFormat … 2.

PDFs and BIM: A trilogy of posts investigating what the PDF format’s role may be in strategies transitioning the industry to BIM? First part: PDFs within current AEC – Important yet neglected?

DebunkTheBIM

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. These can be placed in plans/elevations/sections making them an excellent base for either 2D or 3D based work.

The Legal Aspects of BIM

Building Information Management

Many remain confused about the meaning and value of BIM (building information modeling).
