What is BIM for architecture?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a way of representing a built asset as a digital model. By capturing all project knowledge in a single, accessible place, it allows you and your stakeholders to explore every aspect of a building–foundations, surroundings, past configurations, and even possible futures.

What are the benefits of BIM for architectural design?

Share project data seamlessly

Creating a single, digital source of truth that all stakeholders can access and contribute to empowers collaboration and speeds project delivery timelines.

Impress clients and win work

By digitizing and showcasing every angle of your design, BIM helps you communicate your project vision and bring clients with you every step of the way.

Deliver better build quality

BIM makes visualization more precise, detects clashes, and enhances design accuracy so that outcomes are consistently more sustainable and effective.

More solutions for architects

See impact in greater detail

Building in an environmentally-conscious way is more pressing than ever. Our software can help you visualize the impact of different design decisions in real time and understand them more clearly. With renovation projects becoming increasingly relevant, this capability is hugely valuable.


Connect the right details to the right people

Unified workflows across the whole AECO industry allows data to flow fluidly. By building the foundation for AI-augmented processes such as generative design, you can make informed decisions and improve performance.


Be more productive

Connect teams, processes, and data with the help of a shared data environment. Co-author in real time, improve cross-team coordination, and streamline data exchange—so everyone’s on the same page and working efficiently.
