Engineering Drawings
2,000 years ago Today
Not much has changed in 2,000 years Today we use CAD
Traditional CAD
Focus on drawings production Project’s information in multiple
files and formats Difficulty to manage changes
late in the project Risk of data loss during
multidiscipline coordination
Linear Workflows Traditional CAD

Building Information Modeling
Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides insight for creating and managing projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact.
Not always called BIM. Also referred to as (VDC) Virtual Design and Construction
MANAGE
BUILD
DESIGN
PLAN
BIM is an intelligent 3D model–based process
Others include… MBD, EED, DP and more.
Why is BIM important to the Civil Industry? Benefits
Decreasing operating costs and exposure to liability Consolidate design applications and maintain internal standards
Strengthen relationships with clients and vendors Deliver consistent / reliable results
Distinguish services from the competition Unequaled responsiveness to design changes and alternatives
Attracting and retaining competent professionals Implement/adopt industry leading tools and practices
BIM is more than just the model 3D Models Have a number of downstream uses Quantity takeoffs Construction Sequencing Cost Estimates Renderings / Animations Public meetings / hearings Referendums Documentation Automated Machine Guidance Below grade coordination Hydrology And more….
