A Birmingham architec­ture and design firm is raising the curtain on the process of shaping a structure.

Building Information Modeling, or BIM, has long been used by architects and engineers to design buildings virtually.

Technology is making great strides in the construction industry. Take CAD (computer-aided design) for example.

BIM has the potential to increase innovation, design and construction efficiency, just as green building has transformed design and construction in the U.S., says Harvey Bernstein, McGraw-Hill’s vice president, global thought leadership and business development.

The solution lies in creating a set of standards to define BIM and interoperability; and developing a means of training and accrediting businesses and individuals to be able to achieve those standards. This will result in clear definitions of BIM and interoperability and will help potential users to validate programme deliverers.

The growth of the green building market will drive adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, according to a new SmartMarket Report,

BIG BIM little bim author Finith Jernigan AIA, and Kimon Onuma FAIA, creator of the ONUMA System combine their expertise in the increasingly competitive building information modeling (BIM) and integrated decision making markets.

Green building is now an established part of the design and construction industry.
