The last years have brought innovations and technologies that are advancing day by day. Nowadays everyone has access to the latest technologies and most of us own a smartphone. The collection, processing and management of data becomes ever more detailed and fast. Like any industry, construction too is being influenced by developments of the time. Traditional methods of drawing, processing and calculation are giving way to automation and software that aids in performance and management. Thirty years ago, the industry underwent a change of working process, mindset and processing times, paper drafted replaced CAD (computer aided design) where AutoCAD is the most popular software. Such a transition period has been happening in recent years with BIM technology.
BIM is abbreviated to Building Information Model, is the process that is built using programs like Revit. Other programs that can build BIM are Archicad, Vectorworks, Rhino, etc. BIM is defined as a process supported by various tools, technologies and contracts that include the generation and management of digital representations of the physical and functional properties of sites.
Many states are already elaborating specific draft laws and regulations to unify the construction industry. In the same way as a few years ago, with the transition to CAD projects where a number of units were needed, we cite the layer unification for all companies, and Revit is being implemented by various governments to become standard. Supply companies' products are adapting to BIM typology, eg doors, windows, furniture, electrical systems etc. come complete as 3D elements, with specific data previously only available in the accompanying information.
The BIM coordination model contains all the information about the components of the building in a fast and easily accessible way, enabling a better coordination and communication between the disciplines, also creates the possibility of reviewing in 3 d the object without starting the casting of foundations.
We said above that BIM is a technology that enables coordination. BIM is known to have 7 dimensions, or 7D, through which project longevity is monitored and coordinated. The organization helps you find data and documentation easily, both for the staff who have been part of the project since the start of the project and for the people joining during the various stages.
Via BIM technology it is quite easy to get plans, facades and 3d with some commands. Process that through CAD would take several days. BIM's data processing capabilities also allow you to make decisions faster and compare some solutions by replacing the model used in the project.
Design studios that use BIM are increasingly looking for new talents to own knowledge on such design programs.
This is why we recommend you to start paving your future and learn the right softwares that will elevate your professionals;
