Advantages of Building Information Modeling One can say that the main advantage of using BIM softwares like Revit would be that it is comparitively much more faster than other softwares like AutoCAD. Many views like the perspective views, section views have to be manually drafted on AutoCAD. But that is not the case in Revit. Revit also gives us detailed and accurate informations. Details like schedules have to be manually counted in software like AutoCAD.  Thus, there is a scope of human error in that. However, in Revit things similar to this are automated. Revit has an option of working with multiple different systems all in the same software. This makes it more efficient and easier for construction companies to use as all the various components like plumbing, structure, electrical systems, and other systems can be drawn using Revit. Thus making communication between different teams much more easier and convenient. BIM softwares like Revit are also capable of 5D modelin...

The Future In the coming future, I believe more and more work would be done by computers and machines compared to humans in each and every field. That according to me would be a new era of intelligent buildings. According to Bill Allen (CEO of Evolvelab LLC), Building Information Modeling, or BIM, will convert to Building Information Optimization. This means that instead of manually drawing walls, doors, and columns, we would just feed the computer rules instructing it to give us a building's optimal footprint, structural load capacity, and thermal performance. This means that everything would just be done way faster than this day and age. One can already see machines and AI take over the basic jobs of humans, such as that of a fast food attendant. Fast food restaurants like McDonalds have already started placing screens where people can order, pay, and then simply pick up their food. In countries like Japan, you have vending machines making you a fresh Pizza. Thus, I feel tha...
