Optimize your building designs with BIM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that provides insight for creating and managing projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact.

Easily create designs with intelligent objects using a comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading software for building projects.

• Autodesk BIM solutions for the building industry are based on models created with Autodesk® Revit® software —including solutions for architecture; structural engineering; and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering.
• AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software is the BIM solution for infrastructure for civil engineers, drafters, designers, and technicians working on transportation, land development, and water projects.
• Complementing these core BIM products is Autodesk’s broad portfolio of applications that expand the power of BIM, including AutoCAD® software for documentation and professional drafting, Autodesk® Navisworks® for collaboration and design, and Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis for energy modeling and analysis.
• Autodesk design suites provide comprehensive industry solutions for both CAD and BIM workflows in one flexible, cost-effective package.

Profit from project insight through intelligent 3D. Autodesk solutions take full advantage of the rich information in the intelligent 3D models.

• Quality
  o Easily create designs with intelligent objects.
  o o Keep documentation accurate no matter how many times the design changes.
  o Simulate real-world appearance, performance, and cost.



• Time and money
  o Find and reduce costly design conflicts virtually before construction begins.
  o Improve team collaboration and more easily manage project data across extended teams and external partners.
  o Win work and build stakeholder approval more easily using powerful visualizations.



• Sustainability
  o Optimize the use of energy, water, materials and land with integrated, accurate energy and environmental analysis.
  o Study multiple design alternatives earlier in the process to make better- informed decisions.
  o Monitor, manage, and improve performance using intelligent 3D models.

Realize benefits throughout the project lifecycle by enabling modeling, analysis, and collaboration at any point.

• Projects are becoming increasingly complex. Manage and share data – such as design, materials, schedules, budgets, and compliance – across diverse and dispersed teams.


• New technologies are changing what’s possible. Autodesk BIM solutions take full advantage of powerful technical innovations, including reality capture, cloud computing, and mobile access.


• BIM is rapidly transforming the global AEC industry. Autodesk is the recognized global BIM leader and, along with training, support, and a global community of experienced users, can help AEC professionals improve the way they work.
