Our BIM commitment with buildingSMART Alliance
20th August 2010
AceCad Software is delighted to play a leading role in supporting advances in building science and technology to support BIM (Building Information Modeling) and the environment as a whole.
Our association and participation on the board of the buildingSMART alliance will enable AceCad to provide industry wide experience and support for the development, standardization and integration of BIM technologies. The buildingSMART Alliance coordinates projects - establishing best business practices, enterprise architecture, education transformation, research and development throughout the construction industry.
In contrast with centuries-old ways of documenting facilities with two-dimensional drawings plus specifications - a process automated with Computer Aided Design - new digital technology brings together owners, operators, designers, constructors, regulators and other stakeholders around a single Building Information Model (BIM), a unified tool that offers unprecedented accuracy, speed and economy. The closely related concept of open standards that let all users communicate quickly and efficiently, nationally and internationally, led to the creation of the International Alliance for Interoperability and the coinage "buildingSMART." - buildingSMART Alliance, 2010-07-20
Mr Richard Brotherton, Executive Director, AceCad Software Group of Companies, commented ’AceCad Software is a progressive organization having been a pioneer of 3D modeling tools, when many in the construction industry were fixed on 2D. It is therefore natural for us and indeed part of our ethos to be innovative and invest in the technologies of tomorrow, for the benefit of the industry today. We are committed to BIM advancement and enhanced interoperability, through our popular steel delivery methodology FIM (Fabrication Information Modeling) and our new partnership with the buildingSMART Alliance’.
