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!

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.

BIM is the life-cycle management of facilities (built structures) supported by digital technology. 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, etc. You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Unique in that it represents all disciplines in industry. simply components of BIM.

Mentioned Autodesk yesterday, Archicad, Microstation, Vectorworks, etc. There is one party that has by now become a major ‘collateral damage’ to these battles – the entire construction industry, left to ‘lumber on’ using devices from the middle ages. Any step can be messed up, and big time for that!

First and foremost BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. While the industry is currently fixated upon 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, Bentely… they only represent components of a BIM solution.

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.

Even if I consider the vastly superior ArchiCAD and the Bentley/Microstation range, all the more so Tekla and everything Trimble had collected over the last year or two - these tools, all together are still ‘so last century’. But, they did no good for the industry. I had my first training in Revit in 2004 and get around it OK.

Get rid of the architectural baggage Archicad was weighed down with, and make Constructor a stand alone, construction focused, modelling package. I disagreed with both points but the fact that we still have no robust construction-modellers available proves the guy knew something about the industry. Sell it as a box. Or, maybe not?

When I first read about this role, I thought it was a merely a retort of the architects as a group to the IT industry on the whole for them steeling the precious term ‘architect’. Enough to get to understand how the industry operates AND learn BIM? Then, I thought, it made sense. a place to stop and take a deep breath.

see link to very good discussion on Archicad Linked in group too); BIM is pretty much surviving (but not at all thriving) on tools provided by companies set up to work on the principles of succeeding in “cold-war era” types of environments. So sticking to this type of environment should not by itself be paralyzing for the industry.

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.
