Design and build with BIM
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the foundation of digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As the leader in BIM, Autodesk is the industry's partner to realize better ways of working and better outcomes for business and the built world.
What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. Based on an intelligent model and enabled by a cloud platform, BIM integrates structured, multi-disciplinary data to produce a digital representation of an asset across its lifecycle, from planning and design to construction and operations.
Why BIM usage is skyrocketing
Explore the new Dodge Data & Analytics report describing the industry at a tipping point, with most BIM-using firms now deploying BIM on over half their projects–a trend that’s driving digital transformation across the industry and across the globe.
BIM acceleration by sector
The new Dodge Data & Analytics report is clear–by 2024 even late-adopting sectors will be using BIM on the majority of their projects.
