BIMAGE: Difference Between AutoCAD and BIM

There is a vast difference between AutoCAD and BIM. We cannot simply replace AutoCAD with BIM. AutoCAD is an interesting tool for drafting. It is a graphic depiction mostly in 2D views of the design and construction intent at the best. It is fragmented process of multiple files. It also requires manual coordination of a project set. It requires a lot of time. On the other hand BIM is described as a virtual construction. It is an exact replica of the building intended to be built in form of a 3D model. BIM is a database of information about a building for design, validation, construction and post construction management. It is highly analytical ns quantifiable. Thus, BIM requires a different workflow than AutoCAD. For more information on BIM services, please refer to www.bimageconsulting.com.
