• Building Design and Building Information
  Management (BIM) is one of the most crucial
  software required for managing complex projects.
  It is a 3D model-based process used for getting
  more insights into the designs created and also
  for better project planning. BIM software plays
  an important role across the project lifecycle
  right from planning and designing the interiors
  of the building to the external structure of the
  building. The software is also beneficial for
  creating larger structures like bridges and
  ports. BIM software ensures that all the data of
  every part of building construction is in one
  place. It converts raw data into meaningful
  analytical data, which becomes very helpful in
  understanding all the stages of construction
  clearly across the project lifecycle. Important
  features of BIM software include architectural
  modeling, project sharing, cloud presentations,
  interoperability, and report generation.

• Checklist for Selecting the Best BIM Software for
  your Project 
• Open to exchange data 
• BIM software should have the ability to exchange
  data with team members swiftly and easily. This
  sharing will improve the coordination and
  efficiency of the project. Below are a few
  questions that the vendor should be asked before
  a final decision is made
• Is exchange possible in this software?
• What formats does it support for exchange?
• Does the software support third-party
  integration?
• Does the software enable all team members to work
  together?

• Ability to handle data safely 
• Since the software is meant to be useful for
  both, smaller and larger projects, it is
  important for BIM software to have the ability to
  handle all the data safely and for it to offer
  the same powerful performance for larger projects
  as well. Below are a few questions that the
  vendor should be asked before a final decision is
  made
• Will the software provide seamless performance
  for large and complex projects without failing?
• What project phases can be covered with this
  software?
• Can this software automatically divide the entire
  project into small models or can it work on the
  project overall at a time?

5

• User-friendly and flexible 
• BIM software is centrally used softwareall the
  parts dimensions data is updated in it. The
  process should be user-friendly as a need exists
  for the collection and management of huge amounts
  of data. If there are any changes in dimensions
  during the process of designing or if any design
  is modified, then the software should be flexible
  enough to enable users to update the data easily.
  Below are a few questions the vendor should be
  asked before a final decision is made
• What are software features that can improve
  efficiency as well as be implemented easily?
• Is it possible to update data frequently?
• Is it possible to predefine some information that
  is needed frequently?
• Does the entire data or model get updated
  automatically if there is a small designing
  change?

• What is Trending in BIM Software? 
• Considering a few aspects like time and cost,
  below are a few trends going on in BIM software
• 4D, 5D, and 6D BIM software applications for
  superior functionality
• Artificial Intelligence in BIM software for
  improving development and quality control testing
• 3D Printing that helps create accurate elements
  related with building design quickly
• Cloud collaboration will enable users to access
  BIM data from any location and will also provide
  real-time data update feature
• AR/VR will enable users to examine large 3D
  models easily and quickly
• BIM software is very helpful for organizations
  handling complex projects. With its details 3
  dimensional view it reduces the instances of
  errors and ensures that the project is completed
  in time. So, getting the right BIM software as
  per the organizations requirements is very
  important. With above checklist it becomes very
  easy to select the right vendor and software.
