The new generation of 20 somethings (and younger) in training or about to enter the AEC, are taught that documenting building is about creating drawings. A good modeller will have plenty of opportunities to model, but rule number one is, that the ‘drawings’ are priority, what consultancies get paid for. Specification writing apps?

Many people felt offended by me implying that consultants intentionally employ those practices. Only that the practices described were done that way by design. Or have they been designed NOT to booby trap – i.e. instead support speedy navigation and interpretation of documents?

Design normally happens behind ‘closed doors’, even if regular client/consultant meetings are held. In fact, not just behind doors but often in sealed (CAD) boxes, the information accessible to selected few – and sometimes not the most desirable ones (even in design teams). BIM part of AEC comes to mind!*

Consider this: you are a confident consultant (architect, engineer) prepared to stand up publicly and say: “No, we do no BIM in our office and are proud of it! We produce documentation for our buildings ‘the good old way’ and use CAD where absolutely necessary and only to mimic the traditional processes.

The task was to demolish a 1980s addition, restoring the building to its original design, and then adding our own additions. To add to the complexity, the as-built drawings we had on file were not accurate to the true construction of the existing structure because the original architect had improvised the design during construction.

A multi-dimensional tool, Building Information Modelling (BIM) involves generating a visual model of the building which also manages data about it, at the design stage, throughout the construction phase and during its working life. If the software is the interface to a building information model; rich information content is its body and soul.
