AceCad Interviewed By BIM Journal
AceCad was delighted to be recently interviewed by BIM Journal; the leading online monthly newsletter delivering impartial and authoritative information pertinent to Building Information Modeling (BIM) industry professionals.
Aimed at everyone involved in the construction process - Developers, Project Managers, Engineers & Contractors, and with over 100,000 readers worldwide, the monthly BIM Journal editions reveal promising trends and the latest development projects from around the world.
Speaking to BIM Journal, Mr Brotherton, the Managing Director of AceCad Software commented: "We believe that the construction industry needs to deliver practical benefits into construction projects attainable by the implementation of BIM. Although BIM has resulted in benefits and advantages in many projects, we at AceCad believe that the data associated with BIM is still yet to be fully exploited beyond the virtual model and into the real world."
When asked by BIM Journal to summarize what BIMProject, AceCad's latest product for managing BIM data does, Mr Brotherton commented: "BIMProject allows users to extract BIM model data, apply it efficiently in the real world and track it, whilst updating the model, to help reduce RFI/variation costs which plague the industry."
BIM Journal were interested in the development resource associated with BIMProject. Speaking on this, Mr Brotherton added: "AceCad Software was certainly the leading company in bringing together the benefits found in manufacturing into the structural construction sector. We are now working to bring similar benefits into wider construction projects by the integration of model and data management through distinct and controlled processes that ensure information is integrated with knowledge to bring about powerful decisions – true BIM."
BIMProject is in the final stages of development with an impending release planned, while the integrated BIMReview model collaboration tool, available from www.bim-review.com, was released in late summer. Due to high interest in the BIMProject product we have pilot projects running with beta versions. We already have a wide range of BIMReview users and feedback to date is extremely encouraging. A comment from one such pilot project user was ‘this is a dream come true!’.
Established in 1986, AceCad Software is a leading developer of software solutions and provider of services to the international construction and structural steel industries. For further information please visit www.acecadsoftware.com
