Building Information Modeling For Buildings and Infrastructure

Create, manage and deliver projects faster with BIM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that provides insight for creating and managing projects faster, more economically and with less environmental impact.

Easily create designs with intelligent objects using a comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading software for building and infrastructure projects.
 

• Autodesk BIM solutions for the building industry are based on models created with Autodesk^® Revit^® software —including solutions for architecture; structural engineering; and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering.
 
• AutoCAD^® Civil 3D^® software is the BIM solution for infrastructure for civil engineers, drafters, designers, and technicians working on transportation, land development, and water projects.
 
• Complementing these core BIM products is Autodesk’s broad portfolio of applications that expand the power of BIM, including AutoCAD^® software for documentation and professional drafting, Autodesk^® Navisworks^®, Autodesk^® Ecotect^® Analysis, and Autodesk^® 3ds Max^® Design for visualization, simulation, and analysis of projects virtually, and AutoCAD^® Map 3D for effective infrastructure planning.
 
• Autodesk design suites provide comprehensive industry solutions for both CAD and BIM workflows in one flexible, cost-effective package.
 

Profit from project insight through intelligent 3D. Autodesk solutions take full advantage of the rich information in the intelligent 3D models.

• Quality
- Easily create designs with intelligent objects.
- Minimize errors and omissions regardless of how many times the design changes.
- Simulate real-world appearance, performance, and cost.

• Time and money
- Improve team collaboration and more easily manage project data across extended teams and external partners.
- Win more work and build stakeholder approval more easily using powerful visualizations.
- Find and reduce costly design conflicts virtually before construction begins.

• Sustainability- Optimize the use of energy, water, materials and land with integrated, accurate energy and environmental analysis.
- Study multiple design alternatives earlier in the process to make better informed decisions.
- Monitor, manage, and improve performance using intelligent 3D models.

Realize benefits throughout the project lifecycle by enabling modeling, analysis and collaboration at any point.

• Projects are becoming increasingly complex. Manage and share data – such as design, materials, schedules, budgets and compliance – across diverse and dispersed teams.

• New technologies are changing what’s possible. Autodesk BIM solutions take full advantage of powerful technical innovations, including reality capture, cloud computing and mobile access.

• BIM is rapidly transforming the global AEC industry. Autodesk is the recognized global BIM leader and along with training, support and a global community of experienced users, can help AEC professionals improve the way they work.
