Use a Revit Road Map to get to BIM

Unless you want to get hopelessly lost all journeys require a road map. Sure you can wing it and see where it gets you, but using a road map means you will not only get there faster, you will also arrive at the correct place, not a place that might or might not be where you need to get to.

BIM is new and still evolving. Pretty much everyone is on a journey to implement BIM into their work practices. We all have need of a road map.

BIM may be a process, but it is a process that is not possible without software. You can’t create models, or extract information from them, without software. So the beginning of any road map starts with the software being used. And you can’t do anything if no model exists, so the obvious starting point is BIM authoring software. Revit is my example, for no other any reason than I know it well. The specifics may differ but any BIM authoring software will require similar milestones in their road map.

Not all software is BIM capable

It may seem obvious, but it…
