How to explain BIM to a 5-year-old?

How do you present complex information to an audience that is, let’s say, resistant to change? You can’t just deliver it in a charismatic way and expect everyone to just get it, right? I guess what I’m getting at here is how we communicate is crucial.

We all know that BIM is not a software product. it’s not tangible either. It’s a methodology that links the design, manufacture of products and construction process.

Let try and break that down into language that even a 5-year old can understand…. “BIM is when lots of people work together to build something using one drawing rather than lots of different drawings.” Simple right?!

We think something so simple can only be a good thing in the construction industry. Simplifying projects using BIM will aid collaboration, which will save time. Saving time leads to increased efficiency. And guess what the product of increased efficiency is? That’s right – cost savings across the entire process.

At Solinear we’ve developed a valuable BIM resource portal where you can download a large range of BIM models, including brise soleil BIM models, solar shading BIM models, Louvre BIM models and timber louvre BIM models. CLICK HERE TO GO TO OUR BIM MODELS

We can also give you further advice and recommendations on types of materials to use and answer any questions you may have about the use of our BIM models. And, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, just get in touch, we’ll be more than happy to design bespoke BIM drawing for you too! Great eh?!
