Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that provides insight for creating and managing projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact.
Easily create designs with intelligent objects using a comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading software for building projects.
- Autodesk BIM solutions for the building industry are based on models created with Autodesk® Revit® software ?including solutions for architecture; structural engineering; and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering.
- Complementing these core BIM products is Autodesk?s broad portfolio of applications that expand the power of BIM, including AutoCAD® software for documentation and professional drafting, Autodesk® Navisworks® for collaboration and design, and Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis for energy modeling and analysis.
- Autodesk design suites provide comprehensive industry solutions for both CAD and BIM workflows in one flexible, cost-effective package.
Profit from project insight through intelligent 3D.
Autodesk solutions take full advantage of the rich information in the intelligent 3D models.
-
Quality
- Easily create designs with intelligent objects.
- Keep documentation accurate no matter how many times the design changes.
- Simulate real-world appearance, performance, and cost.
-
Time and money
- Improve team collaboration and more easily manage project data across extended teams and external partners.
- Win work and build stakeholder approval more easily using powerful visualizations.
- Find and reduce costly design conflicts virtually before construction begins.
-
Sustainability
- Optimize the use of energy, water, materials and land with integrated, accurate energy and environmental analysis.
- Study multiple design alternatives earlier in the process to make better- informed decisions.
- Monitor, manage, and improve performance using intelligent 3D models.
Realize benefits throughout the project lifecycle by enabling modeling, analysis, and collaboration at any point.
- Projects are becoming increasingly complex. Manage and share data ? such as design, materials, schedules, budgets, and compliance -- across diverse and distributed teams.
- New technologies are changing what?s possible. Autodesk BIM solutions take full advantage of powerful technical innovations, including reality capture, cloud computing, and mobile access.
- BIM is rapidly transforming the global AEC industry. Autodesk is the recognized global BIM leader and, along with training, support, and a global community of experienced users, can help AEC professionals improve the way they work.
BIM for Construction
Autodesk® building information modeling (BIM) solutions help you view the impact of design changes and identify construction problems earlier, when changes are less expensive to make. To minimize costly errors and on-site waste, use BIM to communicate schedules, coordinate trades, and detect interferences?with more confidence.
Integrated Project Delivery
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is an emerging business model in the building industry that allows for the entire extended team to collaborate early in the process to make the most effective decisions together. The IPD process is built on behavior and contractual relationships that are greatly enhanced by incorporating the technology-based process of BIM. BIM helps project teams use consistent, reliable information in a common collaborative environment, increasing understanding of design intent, improving efficiency, and enabling new ways of working that inspire more sustainable design and construction.
Structural Engineering
BIM helps structural engineers stay flexible and competitive by giving them the ability to better predict the outcome of their structures before they are built. With BIM, structural design and documentation can be integrated earlier in the process, so design interferences can be addressed before construction begins. And bidirectional linking to analysis applications from leading industry and regional partners helps reduce coordination errors and improve accuracy. BIM also helps to more efficiently accommodate design changes as they occur, and improves coordination with extended teams.
Real Estate (Commercial)
BIM provides unprecedented value to owners by helping them coordinate information, processes, communication, cost, and schedules across the building lifecycle. Owners can visualize options, analyze environmental impact, and evaluate costs of their projects before the onset of construction to help accelerate project delivery, manage budgets, reduce waste and risk, optimize building performance, and improve ongoing operation.
Government
BIM helps government agencies increase productivity and collaborate more effectively across design and construction teams. By using BIM, agencies can more quickly evaluate and better predict design alternatives so they can keep up with fast-changing policies?such as sustainability mandates. Because the best decisions can be made earlier in the process when changes are less expensive to make, agencies save time and money, minimize on-site waste, and improve the on-time delivery and utility of projects.
