hi everyone and welcome back to our Channel the number one place for
designers artists and creators I'm Jacqueline and I'm an interior architect and
design here at D+B so today I wanted to uncover and delve into BIM or in its
full name it builds the information modeling it's a type of design software
future that allows you to see a building's
physical and functional characteristics that being said let's jump into the
video ask designers architects and engineers we're constantly on the
lookout for the newest thing that's going to help us improve our skills and
decrease the amount of time we spend on a project over 50 years ago Building
Information modelling was created but it's only until the early 2000s it
really started to get recognized and now is taking over the design space this
year Germany mandated the use of BIM in all
of their transportation projects so if you're new to this term what does it
actually mean so women can be defined as an intelligent 3d modeling process that
allows multiple bits of information to be laid onto one model or project for
example back in the day the classic method of drafting you know where the
pen and a paper would be the go-to method for compiling all types of
information for a project then came CAD a software that revolutionized AEC and
now BIM has been created the future of design a mixture of both 3d and 2d
software and so much more it combines a series of integrated
models and services rather than a set of separate drawings this is incredibly
useful especially on bigger projects because designers architects and
engineers and contractors even are able to work more cohesively on a project and
change the project with ease so what sort of things as a BIM software include
it includes things like the renovation stage programming concept design a
detailed design construction and structure analysis operation of
maintenance fabrication and it also offers types of rendering services as
well so that it makes it easy for you to create
realistic visualizations for clients here's the interesting part
the actual benefits of BIM why is it so much better than other types of older
software I think one of the first points is that it allows for communication and
collaboration really easily compared to all the software's these days on BIM
software's you can upload projects to a certain cloud and colleagues and
designers from all across the world can collaborate and edits a project you can
also create quick and detailed renders rather than having to use AutoCAD and
then transfer to 3ds max or any other type of rendering software the
combination of 2d and 3d elements allows for much more efficiency when it comes
to visualizations another really important thing that it can do is that
it can pinpoint hazards before they become a problem and that can ensure
further safety across the whole of the project's execution in the same light it
can detect mistakes for example an electrical conduit or ductwork that run
into a beam so it will let you know anything like that by modeling all of
these things early clashes can be discovered and altered so that you don't
have those later on costly on-site clashes I would say that if you're still
in that CAD era I would definitely invest in a BIM
software to really enhance your design skills and also safety off projects it's
about quality control at the end of the day so what are the types you have Revit
which I'm sure most of you American viewers have heard of you've got Rhino
which is really good for visualization work
ArchiCAD which says in the name it's a good software for architects and vector
works which is actually the one I use and it's really good good for its
endless amount of BIM features obviously these are just a few programs and there
are many out there but these are seems like the best in the market and if
you're interested in any of the ones I've just said I've linked the
descriptions of all of them down below if you want to find out a bit more
information I'm sure that developments within GIS VR and drone technology will
really develop BIM in the near future and make it become a commodity within
the design and build industry if you're new then welcome this channel is all
about interior design architecture illustration graphic does

this one and if you like this video then please give it a big thumbs up because
we're doing that you really do support our channel okay guys thanks for
watching and I'll see you in the next video bye
