BIM White Paper - autodesk 2002



Writing about the history of BIM, one can not fail to mention the White Paper Building Information Modeling published in 2002 by Autodesk as the publication of the company's strategy: solutions for the construction industry, which is the management of the Revit software just purchased - Revit Technology Corporation.

In founded in 1997 Charles River Software's goal is to adapt parametric modeling for industry. To this end, the company purchased existing Reflex software. Revit is created three years later in 2002. The software is developing rapidly and versions from 1.0 to 4.1 are available in 2002. In 2002, Autodesk buys Revit from Charles River Software, which has just changed its name to Revit Technology Corporation. That's how Revit's global career begins. First under the name Revit Building, then as dedicated industry solutions Revit Structure and Revit MEP to in 2006. change the main name to Revit Architecture, developed today.

White Paper Building Information Modeling as a strategy for using digital technology for construction, based on three goals:

1. Introduction of digital databases in cooperation
2. Database integration to modify them simultaneously
3. Making the cooperation of all construction industries based on databases

The expanded preliminary presents the general difference between CAD and BIM software together with an indication of acceleration of work as a change in the way information is exchanged between project members: CAD drawings and the BIM database. BIM characteristics have also been defined as database work: easy to edit, manage and collaborate. The revolution of work on a common database by all team members (architects, constructors, installation designers) gives the opportunity to work in a graphic environment dedicated to a particular industry, often with different graphic presentations. With databases, there is no need for individual designers to learn how to read drawings of other industries, they can be generated from the model and more precisely from the database, in any way. Transparent for a given industry regardless of the author of the change or the industry in which the information was generated by the BIM modeler. The digital building model in building information modeling allows full use of the project over the building's life cycle. The possibility of archiving all renovations, changes and replacement of devices creates a full building library with the possibility of mapping its history. The document further presents the possibility of using the building model as a database with compact information for calculating costs, planning deliveries for construction, managing the finished building. This can be summarized as: BIM 4D - 6D. The benefits of using BIM were determined at the design, construction and use stages of the building. An additional feature of the information model is the ability to modify it at any stage: design, coordination, checking, costing or building management. Lower costs were associated with smaller project team, lower project coordination and administration costs, and faster building management. Thus, more financial resources can be allocated to the construction of the building than in the traditional construction process. The conclusions have been defined as saving time can be spent on the real work of architects, engineers or construction works, rather than wasting it on administration and coordination of processes.
