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. In the past, I have written about ArchiCAD’s (Graphisoft) excellent ability to handle PDF’s, both in quantity and quality – the second applying to the quality of work offered to the users.

For example, while almost everyone publicly agrees that no-one software (not even Revit) equals BIM – all sorts of other descriptions are likely to float around, from simple ‘one word’ depiction to highly complicated bullet-pointed explanations. I say, I see no future for current BIM.

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. Still, when I put on the hat of the ‘virtual design manager/construction coordinator’, I go for Archicad. Remember Archie?

While the specification system has detailed guidance and links to standards, regulations and suggested values, geometric BIM software has great visualization analysis and instance scheduling functionality. Following a period of industry consultation, Uniclass 2 is now being finalized for publication during 2013.

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 found it in Archicad’s Object Depository while searching for something else. How we pay for software. Remember Archie?

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. Archicad at its best). Ambitious plans, heralding the biggest and best, the new ‘blue prints’ everyone will follow.

First, many years before it became live, I predicted, that the ‘British wholesale BIM Mandate’ was not going to work – even though the letters behind the names of those driving it, could complete the entire alphabet, I guessed, all of them together could hardly model a barn or a small outhouse at any LOD, if their life was depending on it.

I get regular updates through my FB page on how the big event of The Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling (HKIBIM) planned for the 13 th of December is shaping up. In the end, they are ‘just’ a software provider, successful at what they are doing, why can’t I just let them be. But, they did no good for the industry.

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