Are BIM objects really a breakthrough?
The picture below helps put things into perspective!

Unlike CAD, BIM objects go way beyond looks. A BIM object isn't just a digital copy; it's a dynamic and intelligent 3D model that contains every single detail about the product.

About four years ago, a fire engulfed the iconic place that had attracted millions of visitors annually, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. But today, this historical masterpiece is well into its restoration journey, thanks to the incredible capabilities of BIM technology!

The development of the 3D model took over a year to meticulously craft. Workers conducted a 3D scan of the cathedral to analyze how the fire had impacted its structure. Using this data, they painstakingly reconstructed forms and objects, right down to individual building blocks.

The cathedral is expected to open its doors again next year, and even then, the 3D model will continue to play a pivotal role. This includes the potential use of sensors to detect any signs of fire and ensure the safety of this architectural gem.

"Simplifying the building process" is just the tip of the iceberg of what BIM technology actually entails.

There is a misconception that BIM is solely for vertical construction. However, this is not the case. More and more civil engineering firms increasingly realize the immense benefits of integrating BIM into their projects. Here's how BIM processes and tools benefit civil engineers:

#1 Achieve more accurate quantity takeoffs more quickly
Say goodbye to the manual and time-consuming quantity takeoff process. BIM tools streamline the task, enabling estimators to provide more precise cost estimates by eliminating the need for data collection and scaling.

#2 Fix problems before they hit the construction site
This is one of the main reasons why civil engineering firms adopt BIM technologies – with BIM, you can identify potential problems, preventing costly errors that impact budgets and timelines.

#3 Project data can be organized and aligned more closely
A common data environment (CDE) model is the backbone of BIM processes. It unifies project information, reducing data duplication, enforcing standards, catching issues early, and simplifying planning.

#4 Efficient data handling
BIM facilitates seamless data sharing with field teams and fleets, reducing time spent on data preparation.

#5 Smoother project coordination
The use of BIM eliminates redundancies and reduces the need for manual data management, allowing coordinators to track and share accurate on-site data across the whole team.

#6 Track and clarify project progress more easily
BIM empowers real-time data flow between the office and the construction site, making for effective control over project changes and progress tracking.

This is what ChatGPT thinks about AI replacing architects.

While AI can certainly enhance and streamline certain aspects of architectural design and analysis, these barriers highlight the limitations of AI in fully replacing architects. These barriers include:

1. Creativity and design sensibility. AI can generate designs, but it may struggle to replicate the nuanced and context-specific creativity that architects bring to their work.

2. Human collaboration. The communicative aspects of architecture are difficult for AI to replicate, especially when it comes to understanding and responding to the unique preferences of each client.

3. Contextual understanding. Architects need to consider a wide range of factors when designing buildings, such as local climate, culture, regulations, and the specific needs of the client. AI systems may lack the ability to fully understand and integrate all these variables.

4. Ethical considerations. Architects must consider the societal implications of their designs, including issues related to accessibility and sustainability. AI may not have the moral judgment required to make these decisions.

5. Unpredictable challenges. Architectural projects often encounter unexpected changes during construction. Architects need to adapt and problem-solve in real-time, which can be difficult for AI.
