Experience BIM

Clear, concise understanding between architects, engineers, construction professionals, facility managers, and owners is the key to any successful project. To be on the same page, you have to be in the same book or, in the case of building, the same model. Autodesk building information modelling (BIM) software solutions provide teams with tools to keep information coordinated, up-to-date, and accessible in an integrated environment.

These videos, articles, and white papers provide detailed information about the advantages of BIM—for predicting a building’s real-world performance before construction, creating sustainable designs, increasing efficiency, enablling new ways of working, and more.

A One Minute Introduction to BIM
Phil Bernstein, FAIA and VP of Building Industry Strategy & Relations at Autodesk, explains how BIM supports the AEC workflow, is changing the building industry, and why it will improve your design process.

Overview

Coordination: Eliminate Errors and Omissions

Saving Time: Increase Efficiency

Delivery: Enable New Ways of Working

Technical White Papers

	Transitioning to BIM (pdf - 349Kb) Ready to implement BIM? Learn about BIM best practices and key success factors.
	Parametric Building Modelling: BIM’s Foundation (pdf - 285Kb) Learn about parametric building modelling and why it’s so critical for BIM.
	BIM and Facilities Management (pdf - 263Kb) BIM is changing the way buildings are designed and constructed. Is it changing how they’re operated and maintained?
