Architecture design is under major transformation since the introduction of computers. Building information modelling (BIM) is a simple idea where a single digital model of a building or project that everyone involved can access and work on it such as architects, clients, suppliers, builders, contractors and environmental engineers. BIM technology supports architects throughout the design process where you can gain more insight earlier in the process to optimise designs to your clients’ requirements. BIM software helps you deliver projects with improved quality and within required efficiency.
Benefits of BIM in Architecture
A more fluid design process
Move from conceptual design through documentation using interoperable tools that maintain model fidelity at each stage.
Integrated visualisation and analysis tools
Create immersive visualisations and virtual reality (VR) experiences directly from your model. Get more insight into your designs with energy analysis tools.
Extend BIM workflows with computational design
Build geometry, explore design options, automate processes, and create links between multiple applications.
Multidiscipline collaboration
Work more effectively with the extended project team using cloud-based collaboration tools that support concurrent BIM authoring, regardless of location.
