BIM objects are much more than just graphical representations. All BIM objects have properties, and most also have geometries (although some do not, for example a paint finish). The specification is part of the project BIM, and objects live in the specification. ‘A new generation of specifiers is being empowered by BIM.

Put simply, see us as the private investigators of the AEC industry; When commissioned we prepare a report for our clients, based on the documents, so that they can see exactly what they are buying (or selling) both technically and financially, and make informed choices. We do not work- for or represent consultants.

There is a new tide of BIM promoters roaming the AEC. With cocky attitude and high level of confidence they promote various forms of ‘Conveyor belt BIMs’, full of digi-jargon and flow charts. Something specially bothers me in what they are doing to AEC: They constantly refer to ‘2D design’. Guilty by choice of the tool?

The British Government got it all wrong with regards to its plan to use BIM to fix-up its ailing AEC industry. Most of BIM commentators, even those a bit remote from that particular market and ones that are normally prepared to be a bit cynical of ‘artificially pumped up BIM hype’ appear to find this government’s actions to be all positive.

If you work in construction, you can’t escape the buzz around business information modeling (BIM) , the 3D modeling method used to communicate information throughout the design, build and lifecycle of a project. What Is BIM? It’s a resource for shared knowledge that stakeholders can consult throughout the life of a project.

This statement and accompanying question originates from my observation that the majority of authors writing/talking on BIM these days spend very little time/effort in presenting robust evidence on the results of BIM , rather, they tend to jump into the ‘thick of it’, focusing on the ‘how-s’ and ‘what-with-s’. No, BIM: works.

BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. In this section, explicit references on the two important phases in the value management methodology where life cycle analysis is mainly used were outlined. Life cycle costing is also being referred to as whole life cost or cost-in-use.

I was musing about a recent conversation where one guys position was that BIM is hype, unnecessary and worse really just being foisted upon our profession in a scheme to get more money from "us". It seems to me this notion of using Revit (BIM) and "us" isnt all that different. Meanwhile, autodesk provides dismal documentation.
