BIM for Architects

BIM allows Architects to study multiple design options
within a single model making the design investigation
process more efficient. Construction documentation is
more easily generated in the digital realm allowing
Architects to spend more time on building design.

Working in this 3D digital realm also creates
better coordination of documentation and it enhances
spaces reservation and allows for clash detection.
Integrated modeling, analysis and design are possible,
thus preventing the need for splitting up tasks into
different models.

Accuracies in detailed design activities such as
quantification and costing are increased. Engineering
accuracy in terms of measurements and context are
also improved. Drawing production quality increases
making this process more flexible, automated and
better coordinated.

Given the availability of data rich visual models, design
exploration and interrogation is much more valuable.
The data embodied within the building information
model is abundant and reliable, which can be used for
early tasks such as schematic space planning and
master scheduling.

In short, Architect's who use BIM stand to gain efficiency
and value and as a result profit and improved client relations.
