Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be a valuable tool in the hands of anyone who works in construction. As we saw above, BIM stands for Building Information Modeling. Based on this information the full cycle of a building, from conception to completion, can be managed. The contractor is normally the one who manages a CDE.

The contrast of texture is a method that draws attention to a particular point or place of a design by the texture. Visual weight is the property that gives elements in a design an ability to draw attention. Whereas if an element has a high visual weight that means that this element has the probability of drawing eyes towards it.
