In Week 6's lecture Stuart Bull discussed how his firm ARUP Engineering utilizes BIM software such as ArchiCad and others. He focused on the advantages impacted on constructions and building documentation.
By creating everything digitally, and using the software to its full potential you are able to embed information into the walls and other materials. This then allows you to output information useful to the interior designers and others such as the amount of carpet required to cover the floors and how much paint required etc. This is an efficient process that in time saves money and effort.
BIM can be also for finding faults in the original plans of a model. Similar to how Rusell was telling me that in the hospital he helped model up in crysis they realized faults in how the machines in there original position wouldn't fully function.
We also learnt how several programs are used as no program is complete to do all tasks well in the architectural world. This included the pros and cons of several well known programs such as 3DS, and Solidworks etc.
