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. Or are happy to pass it onto the BIM doers, modellers, coordinators, and managers.

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. RSMeans Strategic Partner.

I observed a phenomena: over the years the number of users of 3D (model) based software in AEC has raised dramatically while their average skill level dropped tragically. And project managers turned up too. Clients generally became less aware of the real-realities of the industry. Expectations and budgets got scarily out of synch.

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. Does it exist today?

Using Revit, Archicad, or other 3d modeling software is NOT an introduction to BIM, but rather a component of BIM. Owners, Contractors, Subcontractors, AEs, Building Product Manufactures, Oversight Groups and/or any stakeholder of the built environment will need to undergo fundamental process change in order to succeed at BIM.

I go on-and-on about the interrelation between how various software dealers organise their product distribution and the overall state of BIM within AEC. So sticking to this type of environment should not by itself be paralyzing for the industry. They navigate by-the ‘us’ and ‘them’.

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.
