Building Information Modeling (BIM)-The Dream Realized

"The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter-for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and the point the way." - Nikola Tesla 

BIM is transforming how we think about
 design & construction. 

As an industry buzz word, Building Information Modeling (BIM), has been gaining steam over the last few years. For many, it is the future of our industry, merely in its infancy; but with the release of new technologies there is little doubt that when the full potential of BIM is realized our approach to design will change.

One of the technologies responsible for this shift is Autodesk Revit, a BIM software. Released in April 2000, Revit is quickly evolving from simply being 'cutting edge' technology into a necessary and preferred tool of choice for a growing number of architects, builders and engineers. It will soon become a requirement to design, document and deliver the project. For design professionals it is no longer a question of IF you will adopt BIM, but when.

For the past year, RGD's team has slowly been adopting Revit. Our goal is to transition to 100% utilization by January 2014.  By nature, Revit promotes collaboration between disciplines and key personnel, which allows for the creation of designs that are both spectacular and realistic. We have found this to be true as our Revit experience expands, and we hope that by embracing Revit, we will be able to better serve our existing and future clients so that their designs can be fully realized.
