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 topic has become increasingly relevant as the software driving the standard is evolving quickly. (Or No matter.) Why Design-Build?

Investing in design software capabilities is critical, but it's also about developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that allow teams to leverage BIM to its full potential. Ultimately, those who can accurately estimate and allocate resources can bring prefab projects to life on time and with minimal waste.

Revit MEP offers many advantages compared to two dimensional CAD programs. Knowing exactly what you have in a model at all times and knowing that number is correct, brings a level of confidence that enhances the design. Instance parameters can be different for every instance placed in the model. CAD Shack VIPs.

Always Be Phase Aware In every project file your modeled components have a phase created and a phase demolished parameter whether you like it or not. If you place a model component in a view that is set to the New Construction phase (under View Properties), that component automatically gets placed in the New Construction phase.
