Supertall skyscrapers, defined as buildings at least 300 meters in height, have become increasingly common in major cities worldwide. These towering structures symbolize architectural and engineering progress, and 2016 marked a significant milestone in their development.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) software has transformed the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry by enhancing collaboration, efficiency, and accuracy in project planning and execution. The roots of BIM can be traced back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, with pioneering systems such as Chuck Eastman's Building Description System, GLIDE, RUCAPS, Sonata, and Reflex.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) spans the entire concept-to-occupation timeline of a construction project. Managing these models effectively ensures seamless collaboration, efficiency, and accuracy from pre-design through facility management.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has transformed the way architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals design, build, and manage projects. While many associate BIM primarily with the design phase, its applications extend throughout the entire project life cycle, from pre-design to facility management and even land administration.

Traditionally, land administration relied on 2D maps and paper-based records, leading to inefficiencies and misinterpretations. BIM is now transforming cadastral management by introducing 3D models that improve visualization, ownership tracking, and urban planning.

BIM doesn’t stop at project completion—it plays a vital role in facility operation and maintenance. By maintaining a digital twin of a building, facility managers can track assets, streamline maintenance, and optimize energy performance throughout the building’s lifespan.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been used in construction management to enable better coordination, visualization, and decision-making. From early design phases to project execution, BIM improves efficiency, reduces errors, and enhances collaboration among stakeholders.

In the age of technology, constant changes have become the new norm. This is no new factor for the AEC community, and within these changes, we notice trends. One of the most significant trends is the shift from traditional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to Building Information Modeling (BIM). As companies strive for greater efficiency, enhanced collaboration, and improved project outcomes, the adoption of BIM is reshaping how projects are designed, managed, and executed. This transition marks a significant shift in the industry, emphasizing the importance of staying ahead with innovative solutions that meet the complex demands of modern construction and design.

There are many postsecondary education institutions to choose from when seeking to advance your career education. Some are your standard four-year degree universities and colleges, while others are trade or vocational schools.

Digital credentials offer an alternative to better communication and document learning. The result is a more connected network between learners, educational providers, and employers for recruitment, transfers, and job applications.
