Last time building owners took an interest in who called the shots was when ‘project managers’ got established in a central role, independent from design consultants. Definition: Computer aided drafting that uses purely orthogonal projections and ignores most of the rules and principles of ‘traditional’ documenting.

This is part of the daily drudgery of many BIM practitioners: I am working on a job where the consultants provided DWG and DWF files of their drawings. How do they know that they are working with contractually up-to-date documents? So far, so good. The DWGs are coloured, legible. I navigate around them easily.

Many people felt offended by me implying that consultants intentionally employ those practices. Or have they been designed NOT to booby trap – i.e. instead support speedy navigation and interpretation of documents? Maybe there are clever navigation gadgets built in those documents that I am yet to discover?

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.

They both are confident to be following well established building-documenting practices. There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. The structural engineer sizes the concrete column; the architect places it in the space.

Some food for thought: Could it (read that as "it will") be better to let the walls be modeled as they will be built (with dead spaces in between), rather than using in-place walls that simply mimic old methodologies, like CAD or Hand drawn lines filled with poche or hatching? You'd then have consistent walls to schedule, etc.

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. The model is not clean enough to develop construction documents so we have passed along that task to another architect.

unconvinced of the benefits); Consultants aren’t playing ball and don’t use open BIM. Subcontractors are not even aware of the acronym’s existence just heard somewhere that AutoCAD was no longer the standard for shop drawings? You need to be smarter to document buildings in 2D. So, they can get away with it?

Subsequent service providers also benefit from data material and drawings.

“The first step of the plan was to demonstrate the value of BIM with an apples-to-apples project analysis, comparing a just-finished renovation using CAD with a second one using BIM.” Kowalske says paying the architect/engineer to develop the BIM documents typically results in savings for the owner.” Your thoughts?
