ConsensusDocs has addressed BIM extensively in their contract documents and large scale complex projects certainly are reaping the rewards of BIM everyday. So what’s in the future for us now that we have deployed this technology? Can you picture how a 3D projector or TV would enhance your BIM and CAD models?

Walk us through your career and what led you to become BIM Manager I began in construction in the early 2000s, predominantly in grading, dirt work with heavy equipment, and did that in both commercial and residential construction. BIM Managers have evolved from the old-school CAD manager. Then you see people’s lights come on.

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. But if drawing becomes redundant, all of us that associate ourselves with creating/reading/checking/sharing drawings will be also be redundant? Revit libraries of their windows?

Engineers with access to CAD software and BIM data were working relatively efficiently, but those without access were continually recreating data. The further you get into a central data source, the more you understand how important the accuracy and efficiency of that data is if it’s to be used throughout the business.”.

This will help improve the production of teams in different ways given the use of robotics, AI, and machine learning in this field.

Let''s not kid ourselves, it really does cost money to "do" things, especially things that a given (Revit) software doesn''t support. Working within the Revit system, however flawed we view it to be, will at least ensure that our documents are consistent, predictable. It takes effort to resist the urge to be unpleasant. 1,2,3,4,5,6.

There are great standards in place and the whole company seems to know what to do to get construction documents out the door. We need confident CAD users who are fluent in 3 CAD languages. AutoCAD is best for drafting.

For example, while almost everyone publicly agrees that no-one software (not even Revit) equals BIM – all sorts of other descriptions are likely to float around, from simple ‘one word’ depiction to highly complicated bullet-pointed explanations.

When software uses the same word we routinely use to describe something we do it is supposed to make it easier to understand and use.

A recent one I heard was, "The architect isnt using Revit, should we use Revit MEP for this project?". When Revit Systems was released in 2006, the essence of Autodesks marketing commentary was, "this is new software so it probably doesnt make sense to tackle a project with it unless the architecture team is using Revit too."

Typically BIM uses real-time, dynamic building modelling software working in 3D, 4D (workflow) and, increasingly, 5D (quantity surveying) to increase productivity and efficiency, save costs in the design and construction stages, and to reduce running costs, after construction. . How does BIM work?

In a sense, because BIM contains more information that is structured more efficiently than traditional product like CAD files, spreadsheets and drawings. Some have concerns that if they provide their work in an editable format (whether BIM or CAD) some-one will make changes to their work without their knowledge and/or permission.
