tter getting anything off the ground even mildly in synch with other everyday communication styles seems to be still almost impossible in the global aec these days i do like the way revizto is going in all of this must mention push those authoring tools in the background and focus on the communication interface and usability critiquing arch construction software has always been a thankless job so closely intertwined users developers have been over the last 3 4 decades of bim s infancy in any all of the 3 4 main authoring silos best way to blow up one s career prospects really but then what else is there in today s world worth standing for than honesty and integrity thankfully so few people read blogs these days picture of an old archicad project posted by zolna murray at 4 22 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday october 28 2021 bim for clients there is a need for independent bim advocacy building project clients come in all shapes and sizes from the very small let s build a garage or renovate the kitchen types to gigantic institutional owners of city size developments to create their projects apart from the staunch diyers most draw on a plethora of advisors and consultants for assistance bim advocacy rarely makes their list sure digital approaches do get thrown around by various participants of the servicing pool most of the time packaged as ways of working smarter while a poor cover for an additional fee grab some providers are bim specialist with genuinely useful offerings of digital construction ware others are barely fluent bim consultants of the mainstream type brandishing their occasional bim achievements but i am yet to see them seeking out independent bim advice bim has been around for a long time even if i base it on my own subjective experience at least for the last 30 years bim has been a justifiable and doable approach to communicate buildings yet despite of several big waves of international bim hypes rising it has hardly made a visible impact on the industry many will argue against this statement mostly those with vested interest in the digital part of the industry and its tools the development of ar vr and other gadgets drone scanning robotic devices and the like are collectively considered to be proof of the success of the global bim journey and in their own way they are massive technical achievements but they are also just tools and equating the smartness of the industry to their sophistication is a bit of a stretch i view bim as a language and measure its effectiveness by the level of industry fluency at its core is the model a representation of the building that is different from the traditional process of the drawing as the depiction of the same while fully defining either of these opposing principles is a complex exercise and requires a lot of dedication from those wishing to understand the area anyone participating in the building industry should at least know the difference or that there is a difference with the emergence of bim thirtysomething years ago a new communication language had come into the industry yet the presence of the new language is rarely acknowledged or accounted for we see the tools it brought not the language we see the tools we choose to use them or to ignore them and are lulled in the pretense that our involvement with bim is optional shaping the communicating environment is treated purely based on commercial aspects and the risk of getting it wrong is underestimated these days we operate in hybrid language environments where construction projects get spoken simultaneously drawing and model on the surface this is not a bad thing after all we live in the transitional period where the communication type drawing is growing into type model we are waiting for the contractual arm of the industry to mature to type model and while this is happening we make the best of both worlds or do we no we the industry is struggling in the worst of both no longer speaking either languages fluently or hardly at all the often ridiculed traditional drawing based communication before bim had a supporting infrastructure that made it work very well it enabled everyone in the industry communicate and participate that infrastructure has largely disappeared by now and bim has not replaced it bim professionals often push the seamless model to drawing workflows as the goal and reality yet it is neither working as such in practice nor should it really be the aim the fact that in bim language speaking model type communication also needs orthogonal projections dimensioning and notations can cause further confusion in the olden days just about anyone could update a drawing cloud a change create a revision enact a design decision and record it in the new hybrid environment making even the smallest of changes to a drawing can be cumbersome and tedious not to mention time consuming there is the paradox of being able to flick over a full length movie to the other side of the world in seconds yet being forced to wait for a drawing upgrade from a local consultant weeks at a time one can also spend hours at project pcg meetings where dozens of people discuss the project yet most of them can t open a model let alone edit a drawing associated with it i d be surprised if there were other industries in existence where such a large portion of its practitioners did not speak its language we like to hide behind the contract and its illusion of protection through the negation of models yet do we really know what is on our drawings realistically in my remaining work lifetime bim or whatever fancier name it gets given in the future is not likely to improve significantly the toolsets will further modernize and some of the ways we operate may change but the quality of the language and its true uptake will likely not improve at speed still in the bleakness of the last paragraph lies one aspect of the situation that is still worth fighting for that is for building clients right for true bim advocacy any building client at the outset should be able to clearly define or at least understand the communication language of their building project even before any digital tools get considered the language must be defined is it going to be drawing based or model based most likely hybrid proportionally definable not why not true pros and cons for each how cross overs are happening no beps aren t adequate for answering those questions if they are not fully integrated with the project contractually too how can we measure a company s bim literacy can a servicing consultancy be called bim fluent with only a token bim manager amongst hundreds of illiterates even if the token manager constantly wears fancy ar vr headsets building project clients come in all shapes and sizes some are smarter than others i d love to see more of them pushing stronger the bim buttons of their projects asking the hard questions and demanding answers even be brave enough to say no to half baked bim attempts if confident that pure drawing will be spoken effectively we live in a world ruled by supply demand their demand should create a supply of independent bim advocates will they come from the ranks of client side pms pic from predefine2020 https predefine2020 co nz disclaimer my husband s company posted by zolna murray at 4 34 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday april 13 2021 an ode to archicad or can we call it something else i ve never been happy with the name of my possibly most essentials of tools not even 30 years ago when i first started associating with it even though at the time both the arch part and the cad part were positive terms just did not have the right ring sure names are such subjective things aren t they and who am i to criticize a name having burdened one of my children with one that is unpronounceable by most of the population she comes across and does it matter that the town i come from and the country i now call home are known as a new something rather than have a more distinctive and original label they still are cool places about a year ago gs rebranded its archicad its logo turning from a somewhat curvy a to an arch with a point i can only wonder how much effort agonizing brainstorming and money went into that exercise so why not update the name too surely those in the know would by now realize that it is holding the product back and no it was not right even when the by architects for architects mantra was still working highly likely that those that may have bravely floated the idea of a new name were advised by experts that the brand capital of the name is too high to throw away rebuilding will take decades but would it in the industry where all the cool tools are named by zoo animals or have word compositions with no meaning why not relaunch under something snazzier i d rather be known as an expert in a toolset that requires an additional clarification of you know used to be called archicad then just you know archicad revit is better even if people often mispronounce it hell even vectorworks rolls better of the tongue archicad just sounds like a snobbier or more obscure version of autocad eh talking revit i came across a software comparison recently check it out link at the end of this post sure speed is not everything but i d rather drive a slow car and a fast software then the other way around people say it must be biased hey it was organized by gs c mon clarify that by gs from denmark they went way out of their way to make it an even playing field danes are like that i don t really need any scientific comparison i turn both on daily but while i m happy to drive a second hand jap car to roll into work i hate waiting for a joe average model to even open on my computer when using revit yes i know my computer is not that powerful but does run multiple above average archicad models simultaneously in a month or so gs will likely launch its newest version of ac which really is a bore sure i understand the business strategy behind it and the keeping up with the autodesk joneses game of justifying the subs but why not just change the name instead this time it was almost 2 decades ago that i was briefly employed by a gs associated company i badgered them about the archicad name even then chance of it happening in the next 5 years https youtu be m7tjbkq9obi posted by zolna murray at 1 12 pm 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday july 27 2020 there are two types of bim in existence but only one of them money can buy the digital 3d based approach to creating and managing aec information is usually called bim it has numerous other names as well the latest favored by many is the digital twin i for the sake of consistency like to stick to bim humor me a bit and don t get bogged down on the name entertain me just a little bit more and accept that fundamentally bim approaches can be grouped under 2 headings the first is the group of self contained bim exercises the second are the life style bims the biggest difference between the two is that any bim that falls in the first category can potentially be bought while the second needs to be grown the boundaries do get blurred as many self contained bims can be grown from seeds too and life style bim components can indeed be acquired as semi functional and off the shelf products but overall this line of categorization is a safe tool to assess if one should contemplate engaging in a bim type experience on offer another differentiation will be in clarity of scope self contained bim jobs have clearly defined scope of works while life style bims often rely on described outcomes that may be ambiguous examples for the first group would be design or documenting in 3d task based applications like construction sequencing and logistics model based quantity take offs all flavors of aec visualizing by nature no bim is bad bim and i encourage anyone to give it a go by self performing or by insourcing as a service from others more skilled in the area even if an attempt to do things in a bim ish way is deemed to be unsuccessful either due to perceived high cost or low value there will likely be intangible benefits to all involved experience to shape careers and progress and while i ve long passed my bim evangelizing prime everything considered i get enthusiastic just about any bim attempt i see performed by just about anyone qualified or not yet i get very cautious about life style bims so how to distinguish these from the relatively low risk self contained bims the first rule of thumb is that if the bim scope requires a plan to describe it like bim strategy plan a bep design construction bim workflow it is likely that we have a lifestyler to deal with pay attention to the bim goals if there is lot of lawyer like speech in it mixed with lofty expectations there is danger the goal of bim incorporation is to effectively utilize current and future proven digital technologies to ensure the streamlining of design and construction processes encourage greater stakeholder engagement increase cost and time certainty and to capture the necessary data for facilities management to achieve these goals the application of bim technologies is required across all phases of the project ensuring the development of a coordinated bim model generally to lod 300 350 for design and a construction deliverable of a lod 350 model for xyz s facilities team to utilize in general client initiated mandated and across project bims fall into this category they attempt to do bim on large and very large scale often based on best intentions but also bad advice a client gets lured into a better way of doing things by a bim advocate and buys into an idea of all or nothing bim the all or nothing bim burns through the project eats up people and companies and at the end no one wants to hear the dreadful tla ever again apart from the overall bim consultant that can move onto their next victim and the occasional bim service provider that made good living out of an essentially self contained bim within the project for example a building services modeller the all or nothing approach would not be as fatal if they really meant it i e if it was a true cold turkey bim only and no traditional processes involved it would likely still fail but would at least make for an exhilarating ride for all instead these life style approaches like to keep their options open the following statements just some examples to those intentions the contractor shall utilize the design consultant 3d revit models to further develop specific trade discipline models as defined in the construction bim execution plan to achieve a high level of coordination between trades note 2d installation layout shop drawings will still be
