While our industry is still questioning the merits and relevance of integrated construction (IPDs) and production teams using new BIM technologies to build higher quality buildings, companies like the Broad Group are moving forward and accomplishing small miracles.

In a previous article, I explained why, as current or future 3D software users, we must avoid the pitfall of technological lock-in (choosing what’s currently trendy instead of choosing what’s you need). In an attempt to help you make the best possible decision here’s a list of the different BIM software, sorted by discipline.

I recently attended several conferences and workshops on new construction technologies.
I was surprised to hear several people saying that BIM was more expensive and that the only way to be cost-effective was to increase our fees. NOT TRUE!!!
