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.

I’ve been asked by one of my industry software provider friends to write a piece on the current state of Building Information Modeling (BIM), as it relates to estimating in the here and now. The 3-D model can be rotated and viewed from any angle, including virtual walk-through capability. BIM is fully useful now. Why Design-Build?

build your as-built model in the existing phase. Once an as-built model is done you might want to archive a copy of the model just incase the design scope changes and you have to start all over again with a clean as-built. The model builder is going to have to do partial demolition of walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, etc.
