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 modeling (BIM) software solutions provide teams with tools to keep information coordinated, up-to-date, and accessible in an integrated environment.

These videos 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, enabling 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.
