BIM ROLES IN THE INDUSTRIES

As BIM is growing the roles are now seems to decided my many as below:

BIM Technician – This is for modellers who will start BIM modelling as per the instructions given by BIM Model manager.

BIM Model Manager - This is for them who actually will be responsible for BIM model to be accurately modelled as per correct level of detail defined by BIM manager.

BIM Coordinator - This role itself say that he/she will be responsible for coordination between the several disciplines of BIM model.

BIM Manager – This role might be for managing the process (for BIM modelling) to be adopted looking to the project’s depth and decide what software to be used for particular project.

BIM Director – The role will be to check the Final outcomes from the BIM model such as 2D documents, Quantities, Health and Safety issues, etc.

AutoTrack and Sam acquired by Autodesk

According to this press release Autodesk Expands Infrastructure Design and Analysis Portfolio With Acquisition of Sam and AutoTrack Software to Accelerate Adoption of BIM for Infrastructure. The Sam suite of software is widely used around the world by bridge designers and engineers for load analysis in the design of small to medium span bridges. Sam software helps save time, increase accuracy and improve consistency of data during the analysis phase of bridge design. The AutoTrack suite of software modules for road, light rail, airport, parking and intersection analysis and design is used for infrastructure planning by architects, designers and engineers. AutoTrack provides features to analyze the movements of steered vehicles, light rail vehicles and aircraft, as well as to design car parking areas and roundabouts while drafting in AutoCAD-based environments including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and AutoCAD Map 3D.
