Why BIM for
Engineering?
Most of our engineering clients find working in BIM with the architect to be a huge benefit. They are working from a single file with the architect helping reduce errors with a more efficient workflow. Gone are the days of sending background drawing files that are often outdated. With the best BIM software, you can focus on what you do best: engineer great buildings.

in extra software?
How did you end up choosing your BIM software?
Does your current BIM vendor provide you anything further than software and/or subscription renewals?

The BIM test drive I attended magnified the speed and ease of developing a model using the BIM6x template, and illustrated the potential for improved coordination of the entire design/build team.

We have been using Archicad at BMA LLC for over 15 years and have been super satisfied with the software! The integration of Architecture and Engineering into a complete BIM model helps us from the creative prelims through the Construction Documents combining with all the disciplines. We seem to be modeling more and more and that has helped us with the overall design, details and documentation. The power of Archicad is the seamless process of Design Development, Client Interaction, Documenting Working Drawings, and Construction Understanding and Visualization - the complete package!"
