How BIM is Redefining Engineering and Architectural Workflows

BIM is changing the way engineering and architectural workflows are done. Before BIM, engineering involved drawing everything by hand or with software that only looked at problems in a two dimensional approach. It also didn’t allow for collaboration with other members of the team which created inefficiencies and mistakes. With BIM, design teams can collaborate on their designs easily. When it comes to designing buildings, engineers and architects have major responsibilities. While architects focus more on the aesthetics of a project, Engineers need to dissect how the building can and will function (including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety, etc.). These two fields have traditionally been separate, but as technology has evolved they have begun to merge. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an integrated design process using 3D models of buildings, bridges, and other civil engineering projects. This gives engineers and architects a single point of reference for all aspects of their work. BIM is typically used with computer-aided drafting (CAD) software such as Revit and AutoCAD. Using these programs allows for most changes to be made in one location; if someone wants to change the elevation or number of windows on the exterior wall, then everyone can see what those changes will do across the entire model. Together they can use BIM 3D modeling to improve the drawings and annotate them with technical details. Not only does this allow the team to communicate clearly, but it also means there are no more discrepancies between different sets of drawings because everyone has access to the same information. This process results in more efficient workflows for both engineers and architects alike.
