Colombia. For the construction sector in Colombia, the term BIM is becoming an increasingly relevant concept, but despite the great benefits it generates in other countries, the lack of knowledge about this type of modeling software is still high, as well as the rate of use of them.
The purpose of using the information modeling software that is part of the BIM methodology is to address the complete life cycle of a work, from its initial phase and design, to its execution.
Autodesk, the leading American company in 2D and 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, is also the same company that created Revit that is based on the BIM methodology. The idea of bringing this software to the Colombian market is because its use allows to include details in the plans, such as work estimates and manufacturer information. This is useful for both professionals and students and teachers in the development of their projects.
Currently, some universities in the country are much more committed to this work model, since they went from learning methodologies on paper and 2D, to fully digitized processes.
For their part, companies have not been left behind with these advances and have modernized to be at the forefront with new methodologies, which every day cover more the student spectrum in the country, such as Revit.
This software is positioning itself in the Colombian construction industry because it allows the proper use of 3D modeling and other BIM methodologies, which integrate design, engineering and developer teams to improve processes. One of the advantages offered by Revit is that it allows you to create designs based on intelligent and three-dimensional objects that are automatically coordinated in the event of any change.
"The goal of Revit software, and in general of all our modeling software, is to make facilities more efficient. The company's philosophy is to make our solutions allow us to get the job done in less time, in a simpler and safer way," said Alfredo Abal, sales director for Autodesk in Latin America.
