At the moment I am reading the book "The BIM Manager" by Mark Baldwin and many things are described so simply that "puts everything on the shelves." Highly recommend for self-study
Glad it eventually motivated you Sameer! I know the general message is a bit discouraging - I'm all for people studying BIM, but it's important they do so when it will give them the most value for their investment and time.
Thanks Gavin for the content. Since BIM is the process that the industry is putting more effort for its adoption due to its benefits, I think everyone in the industry whether fresher or existing, should have the basic idea of the BIM processes.
You're welcome as always! I agree everyone needs a basic understanding, but I guess most can hopefully obtain this through practical experience through their careers.
Can you make video about data-driven design? It really interesting method, that is not using so often. And I many times ask "why", but can't find the answer.
Probably a little bit outside my field of experience - I assume you mean sensor data collection etc. I would check out what 'Willow' is getting up to currently, they seem to be very focused on this aspect of design and delivery. If you mean generative design then check out my article I wrote here on why it is a challenging paradigm and may not succeed as well as we hope; www.bimguru.com.au/post/generative-design-problematic-solution The main reason data driven design tends to fail is that we sit around talking about it for too long and don't invest enough/any time into actually setting up the systems which enable it. There are too many people in AEC who have both poor communication and technical skills, and waste everyone else's time who has these to cover up this fact.
@@AussieBIMGuru No, I'm talking about something else, not about getting information from sensors and not about generative design. I'm talking about an approach when information forms BIM, not BIM forms information. bimcorner.com/data-driven-design-explained-in-one-guide/ One example of software is dRofus. It seems to me that this direction is extremely underestimated from the point of view of the formation of a data-centric approach in construction.
@@timursharafutdinov8828 ah I have used dRofus before on projects. Whilst data can inform design, there still is the reality of how a project is communicated and tracked visually in terms a client can also understand. I believe information trumps a model, but they are both required early to deliver a project successfully and in a way all stakeholders can understand. A challenge with data centric design is also the need for data centric values and mindsets - in an industry like AEC this can be difficult to find. We're coming around to it as an industry piece by piece, but we still aren't at the point where projects are delivered off paper.
Hello Bro.Give me some advise please I am a student, I am studying a design engineer, but I am more interested in solving problems and simplifying the work in the revit program. also organize. A lot of thinking now which way to choose Bim or Design Engineer. Now I devote a lot of time to learning dynamo, revit, python, naviswork. Please tell me I chose the right way or not? Will this be useful to me?
It's great to learn about the software early, but to be a successful BIM/design engineer you will also need to focus on the softer skills like coordination, communication and actual engineering as well. Make sure to learn as much as you can about these skills early also, they will transcend whichever platforms your firm will use in future.
Great. But... Beyond the experience and any hard skills, in my opinion firstly you need to change your mind, you need to understand fundamentally knowledge of BIM methodology. I saw it many times when company use Revit like AutoCAD and saying that "we adopted bim" 🤦🏻♂️ and why, how do you think? It's because to sell more expensively... And customers believe them, because they really don't understand really bim benefits, but it's "sounds cool"... Main reason - you can rotate your project in 3d view. That's all 🤷🏻♂️ And when I try to explain BIM , I try to use simple saying, only to people know that bim is not only 3d or Bim is not only Revit!! Thank your for your videos. Excuse for badly English. Greatings from Russia.
Yes your experience is very applicable to most companies using BIM and not leveraging the true benefits because they can't see past the 3D model as the offering. This is usually something which emerges as people work more closely with the industry and engage with more BIM enthusiasts who can better guide them as to what BIM is really about.
@@AussieBIMGuru The problem is that the customer does not seek to change anything, and BIM ends at the design stage, because all the enthusiasts are there now. And the customer thinks so - "Why touch a mechanism that already works?" And the marketing of software developers leads the majority to believe that bim = Revit, and there is nothing I can do about it.
Yes this is definitely the industry's next challenge, to prove the merits of BIM on projects to clients. It may never truly happen across the board, but there are some I know who are sold - just takes the right experience.
It will depend on the job demands in your market and course prerequisites. Most firms generally expext degrees these days although contractors may be more flexible.
Heloo I am revit expert and fan of your videos. Plz make one video on Revit schedule and cost using only revit software. Plz avoid to use dynamo. Plz make tutorial as soon as possible. Your craziest fan..😍
Hi Imran! I actually have another fan on the channel called Imran too, you might see him in comments sometimes (immi). I've actually made a Revit costing video a while ago that might suit; ruclips.net/video/sMhRa9HGFko/видео.html It covers many scheduling techniques and ways of introducing and obtaining cost data using Revit only. I encourage you to learn Dynamo at some point if you wish to master 5D also.

Thanks - I have heard great things about this book, on my to read list for sure!
Much needed Video for Architecture Graduates and for people who are clueless of this reality.
Great work Sir 👍
You're welcome! Glad to be of assistance :)
At start, I thought your video is bit demitivating. But after finishing, I know I've learnt something I didn't know and it has motivated me as well.
Glad it eventually motivated you Sameer! I know the general message is a bit discouraging - I'm all for people studying BIM, but it's important they do so when it will give them the most value for their investment and time.
Thank you, very resourceful! And welcome back from a well deserved break! :)
Thanks Erika, glad it helped!
experience the best teacher, my journey through BIM in the UK has been very bumpy, many mistakes but you learn from those mistakes
Yep if it's easy we don't learn as well I find - the best experiences are the challenging ones to overcome.
Nice & informative vid. Thanks Gavin! Welcome back!
Cheers Alan!

wise point of view, exposure to real life projects is must
Sure is!

Can you continue studying BIM even if you did mechanical engineering under fitting and Machining in a technical high school

Been learning revit for a while now...but whenever I saw the word “bim” I cant stop thinking about James May 😂
Haha same here!
