Bentley supports your need for an evolutionary migration from CAD to BIM – allowing you to upgrade at your own pace and to leverage past investments in software, customization, and training.

Technology

While CAD has served as a valuable tool for decades, it has largely been used as an aid to documentation.  BIM builds on the capabilities of CAD through discipline specific applications that inform and enhance design, construction and operations
as well.                                                                                      Image courtesy:

Processes

BIM benefits your work processes by enabling a shift of work from late documentation efforts to early design opportunities – where you ability to positively impact change is greatest.

Business Practices

BIM is well suited to the changing methods of practice our industry is adopting.  Design-Build, Project Alliances,                      Image courtesy:

from the use of BIM.

Attitude

BIM can change your attitude.  Spend your time doing what you love, making better buildings, rather that on grunt work.
