Building information modeling has the potential to modernize the housing industry, but residential and low-rise multifamily housing developers face barriers to its adoption. Building information modeling (BIM) is a digital approach to designing buildings using computer-aided tools. Tue, 12/20/2022 - 08:59. Anna Liza Montenegro.

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?

Long gone are the days when we had to be experts in drafting by hand; computer-aided design (CAD) software and 3-D modeling tools can generate measured drawings and photorealistic renderings with a keystroke. Today’s architects are living in interesting times. Is this a good thing? Not always.

Construction communication challenges often arise as preferred technologies (BIM, IPD, CAD) often leave non-techie types out of the conversation loop. Everyone in construction operations is visual and depends upon drawings, plans and models to convey ideas. Remember the PDF? The PDF standard hasn’t left the construction industry.
