Now is the time to achieve the competitive advantage o BIM

apid Industry Changes Create Oppor tunitieshe troubled global economy o the past ew

ears has wrought signicant changes in the

rchitectural industry. In many regions, spending

n new construction projects has plummeted

rovoking erce competition among those

rms let standing ater industry closures and

onsolidation. Developing economies have also

ontributed to industry change by providing

bundant work to rms capable o securing projects

n an international scale and collaborating witheographically dispersed project team members.

On virtually all projects, savvy clients and building

wners are demanding more or their investment.

hey want increased building perormance,

nnovation, and a return on investment (ROI)

hat they can measure in real-world cost and time

avings, as well as in more abstract ways , such as

reater end-user productivity and satisaction.

Green Mandates Drive InnovationOne o the biggest changes has been the steady shit

toward practices that reduce the impact o building

projects on the environment. Perceived initially

as a luxury among many in the proession, these

types o practices are now in high demand, and are

oten mandated by both public agencies and private

industry owners, who value energy efciency, green

building materials, zero-waste systems, and carbon

ootprint reductions. Indeed, sustainable design

practices have thrived even in some o the regionshardest hit by the recent economic downturn, as

spending has moved to more aordable retrot and

energy efciency projects.

Win New Clientsand Gain Competitive AdvantageTo maintain a competitive edge and stay protable in

this challenging business climate, architectural rms

o all sizesrom large multinationals to home-based

businessesare adopting new workows, tools, and

technologies. Leading these new process changes

and workows is Building Inormation Modeling, or

BIM. Demand or BIM is growing rapidly, particularly

among building owners and government agencies,

many o which now require BIM on their projects.

With BIM, architects can obtain unprecedente

insight into how buildings will perormlong b

construction begins. This insight can help you

design more efciently, obtain earlier approva

and deliver higher-quality, more sustainable de

with ewer complications during the construct

process. Ultimately, this approach helps projec

teams achieve more consistent, predictable

outcomes, which can increase client satisactio

And, as many organizations have discovered, B

is better or their business.

We averted 17 potentially costly eld clashes

and 21 RFI-only issues, reports Craword Smit

BIM specialist at SERA Architects, discussing t

project teams success in modernizing the agin

cost estimate to x the eld issues against the

cost o the sotware and the investment in pro

BIM) oers, Autodesk provides a comprehensive

ortolio o integrated solutions that help architects

esign, visualize, simulate, document, and build

etter buildings.

Design and DocumentAutodesk Revit softwareBuilt or BIM, Autodesk Revit helps you to

model and analyze design concepts and moreaccurately maintain your vision through

design, documentation, and construction. Use

inormation-rich models to make more inormed

design decisions to support sustainable design,

clash detection, construction planning, and

abrication. Any design change you make is

updated throughout your project, keeping design

and documentation coordinated and more reliable.

AutoCAD softwareArchitects can design, document, and share

drawings more accurately and efciently with

native DWG support, presentation-ready

graphics, and powerul automation, management,and editing tools that minimize repetitive tasks

and speed time to completion.

AutoCAD Architecture softwareArchitects can boost design productivity with a

comprehensive library o architecture-specic

tools and components that more quickly generate

schedules, elevations, and sections, and automate

repetitive drating tasks.

VisualizeAutodesk Showcase softwareShowcase provides an easy-to-use, real-time

D presentation and rendering tool that

helps transorm CAD les into compellingimagery, movies, and real-time presentations

or interactive design reviews, marketing

imagery, and sales presentations.

On a ast-track project, you dont have the luxury o going backand modiying early portions o the designs at the end o theproject. Everyonecontractors, architects, interior designers,and engineersneeds to be able to align their vision or the endresult in almost real time. I dont know how you could do thatwithout BIM.
