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. What is BIM? Introduction. How does BIM work?

The shop drawing is a drawing or collection of set of drawings, diagrams, illustrations, schedules, and other data or information specifically generated or assembled by the contractor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, or fabricator to demonstrate some portion of the work for the approval of architect or engineer.

Engineering firm Melia Smith & Jones uses SOFiSTiK software for 3D rebar modelling in Autodesk Revit. Most engineers still produce classic 2D reinforcement drawings using programs such as AutoCAD ® combined with CADS RC. SOFiSTiK involves the annotation side when creating reinforcement drawings in Autodesk Revit.

This is where Building Information Modeling (BIM) comes into play, and BIM managers are the ones tasked with connecting teams and improving coordination between them.

The fact that we can generate elevations and sections easily and that they are derived from the model without drawing them completely from scratch is wonderful. Schedules are never wrong! A schedule that does not use sorting/filtering, design options or phases as criteria will not report incorrect information.

Additionally, firms can leverage BIM to gain a more comprehensive view of the project to coordinate various components and make sure the project stays on schedule. To be successful, teams need a clear understanding of material needs, labor requirements, and scheduling.

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?

We produce documentation for our buildings ‘the good old way’ and use CAD where absolutely necessary and only to mimic the traditional processes. Our buildings don’t come from cookie-cutters, we fashion each-and-every one from scratch by painstakingly drawing up separate views for all plans, elevations and sections.

For some reason BIM authors (architects, engineers, etc) think that because they create the initial BIM information they have the right to full control and to charge for the BIM model throughout the life of the building. The architect schedules doors, the hardware supplier adds to that schedule, they don’t create their own.

And it will eventually be superseded by a new acronym for a different approach, just as BIM superseded CAD. There is an underlying assumption that a BIM model must become a single unified ‘thing’ (“Integrated Data Environment”), and that all BIM processes must be under the control of one entity.

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? I see the same with these types of workarounds.
