by Brianna Crandall — January 11, 2016—A new report explains that building information modeling (BIM) is a three-dimensional (3D) visual presentation of a technical drawing that includes the plan, elevation, and section of a building. It is a kind of digital fabrication system in which the actual model of the building is digitally constructed with accurate values. Apart from 3D visualization, BIM also covers 4D and 5D, which comprise the time and cost plans, respectively.
Among the other features that make BIM a prominent tool in the field of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) are geographic information, light analysis, lean construction, and the quantities and properties of building components. It gives architects, engineers, and contractors a brief visualization or an overview of the building, and makes it easier to implement and convey the information more precisely. According to the report, the BIM tool is considered to be one of the game-changing elements in the AEC industry.
This research report provides in-depth analysis of the global BIM market based on solutions, end-users, end-use industries, and geographical regions, which are then analyzed in terms of revenue generation.
The report divides the BIM market into the following categories and subcategories:
- Solutions: software solutions (segmented based on the deployment model into cloud-based and on-premise software) and professional consultancy services;
- End-users: architects, contractors, engineers, and developers; and
- End-use industries: water and waste water; bridges, roads, and highways; rail, transit, and aviation; energy-generation facilities; houses and apartments; factories and warehouses; educational institutions and commercial spaces; government buildings; dams; and others.
Further, the report analyzes the factors that drive and restrain the growth of the BIM market. The report also discusses prevailing market trends, prospective growth opportunities, and major strategies resulting in the growing popularity of BIM tools. It also provides the market estimates and forecasts for all the segments covered in the report in terms of revenue.
In addition, the report includes competitive profiling of key players engaged in offering BIM solutions globally. Their major business strategies, market positioning, and various recent developments are also identified. The major providers profiled in the report include Autodesk Inc., Beck Technology Ltd., Dassault Systemes SA, Synchro Software Ltd., Tekla Corporation, Bentley Systems Inc., Pentagon Solutions Ltd., AECOM, GRAITEC, and Nemetschek AG.
