It provides a credible picture of present day attitudes and progress made towards Building Information Modelling (BIM) in New Zealand.” The surveyors must have felt a bit uneasy about this grouping, so just for good measure added the following note: “Autodesk products (40%) and Graphisoft (37%) clearly dominate the New Zealand CAD market.

Sure, I loved drawing by hand – I still do – but the process of developing designs via sketch paper and getting them documented onto tracing paper required a lot of wasted paper, scratching (with blades) and redrawing time. After all, architecture develops in the head and hand sketching is one tool to help, but just one, of many.

For BIM to succeed will require a fundamental changes in how the AEC industry (architecture, engineering, construction) industry does business.
