Achieving an understanding that BIM and CAD are as different as chalk and cheese is the first step to delivering better buildings, efficiently and at a lower cost<\/h2>\n

We need to understand what CAD is before exploring BIM.\u00a0 Many might remember drawing boards, indeed some feel there is something intrinsically satisfying in the art of draughting.<\/p>\n

CAD (Computer Aided Design) is hardware (computer) plus software (for example AutoCAD) used to create designs of anything from buildings, products, to parts etc.\u00a0 A more eloquent definition from the world\u2019s leading software developer Autodesk, (maker of AutoCAD, Revit, 3DS Max, etc.)<\/p>\n

CAD is \u201cthe use of computer technology for design and design documentation. CAD software replaces manual drafting with an automated process\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The power of computing and the breadth of the functionality and capability the software delivers means designs can be produced in a fraction of the time of manual draughting. Amendments can be made very quickly and the designs distributed to anyone in seconds leveraging the power of the internet.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the improvements in productivity, meaning more time for quality and related tasks, the overall approach, methodologies and concepts are not dissimilar to manual draughting. \u00a0You might describe the transition as replacing the horse and cart with a car. \u00a0Same journey, different level of comfort, speed and amenity.<\/p>\n

Many design organisations use CAD in 2D and\/or 3D guise.\u00a0 Differing levels of adoption and investment, resources and expertise will produce varying degrees of success, return on investment, breadth and depth of capability.\u00a0 However, step changes in overall quality, joined up integrated design and construction, performance of the building, are unlikely to be attainable. Turbo charged car perhaps, but it\u2019s still a car?<\/p>\n

On first look, BIM software<\/a> looks similar to CAD software, more advanced features but hardly chalk n\u2019 cheese? \u00a0Extending the car analogy, maybe it\u2019s a hybrid?<\/p>\n

You know BIM is very different to CAD when you try and digest published definitions;<\/h3>\n

\u201cBuilding Information Modelling<\/a> (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that equips architecture, engineering and construction professionals with the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Autodesk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.\u00a0 A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its lifecycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The US National BIM Standard Project Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BIM is a process and methodology which enables and supports all participant\u2019s work collaboratively using the same computer 3D model and database. \u00a0You could describe CAD as about lines, arcs and circles to define the design.\u00a0 BIM is a database of data and information that allows a digital representation of the building and its systems.<\/u><\/p>\n

As a consequence of assessments, analyses and testing can occur, possibly with the benefit of further add on software modules to understand how the building might perform over time.\u00a0 If nothing else, environmental considerations mean an assessment of a proposed buildings carbon footprint across its lifecycle.\u00a0 Try such assessments with mere CAD files!<\/p>\n

BIM is not dressed up CAD.\u00a0 It may, for new users be a steep learning curve, without expert guidance, training and support.\u00a0 Once the concept and processes are embraced, it offers a real step change in how buildings are conceived, designed, constructed and managed for a brave new world where resources become scarcer and expensive.<\/p>\n
