If there are similar rules for establishing viable crops of BIM around the global AEC industry, they’re better be longer than 30 years. Even a decade or so ago, I could see that BIM was nothing like an emerging success story. May I call them BIM-doom-deniers?

Construction design software is a necessity in today’s digital landscape, giving industry professionals an easier way to create blueprints and drawings of new designs. With construction design software, you can visualize different design possibilities, create professional presentations, better assess risks , and make more informed decisions.

Modern projects are incorporating building information management (BIM) software. All stakeholders have access to the same files, documents, drawing, and models. Many industrial project managers have probably been using BIM software for a while. Be Willing to Take More Risks Taking risks does not mean ignoring safety.

To help ease the pain of that process, Autodesk is offering a new Assets Module on its BIM 360 platform to more efficiently track relevant information for materials, fixtures, and equipment. BIM 360 Assets aims to create a single source of truth for tracking all of your construction assets from the beginning to end of the project.
