Are you still hand-drawing?

For most AEC practices hand drawing is still a critical part of the process today, even those using computers still produce 2D drawings, but recently 3D models are appearing more and more on the screens.

Would you want to Change?

A recent survey shows that only 37% of small firms are using 3D building information modelling or BIM for billable work. And most of the rest are likely using a 2D drafting tool.

The number of BIM and CAD software packages are flourishing. The most used are:

• Autocad,
• Vectorworks,
• Archicad,
• Rhino. and
• Revit.

On top, you have value-added tools like:

• Plannerly for project management,
• several rendering and VR tools, and
• communication tools to keep your remote team connected.

Where would you start?

It is daunting and time-consuming to understand what to look for in all these tools and packages even for large firms these choices are not easy to make.

• Figuring out how the software providers are pricing their products is a minefield.
• The tools are difficult to learn and use.

• Should you use CAD or BIM tools?

  • When using CAD for building design, you focus on creating drawings.
  • When using BIM, you focus on creating a building model and then the drawings can be generated from the model.
