Revit & Building Information Modeling (BIM) In the year 2002, Autodesk invested more than US$130 million dollars to acquire a company that developed a revolutionary software named “Revit”, which according to several experts in the CAD field will transform the entire construction and facility management industries. This new system is able to efficiently create an intelligent 3D model of a building, known as a BIM model, which is capable of containing and managing intelligently detailed information about a building during its entire life cycle. A BIM model is more than a 3D model of a building, BIM is a completely new concept that currently is radically transforming the methods and processes in which buildings are designed, constructed, maintained and managed today. The potential of this new paradigm is changing how architects, engineers, construction professionals, facility managers and owners work and communicate with each other, making them more efficient and productive in each stage of a building life cycle in which they are involved. More importantly, significant benefits will be experienced by all stakeholders of construction, maintenance and management projects. A BIM model has the power to reduce - particularly in the early stages - the numerous and costly errors that occur in each of the phases of these types of projects. As a result, the profit margin will rise considerably. In conclusion, BIM is good for business.
