For me, I started not knowing anything about bim, then started working for contractors in 2013 doing HVAC coordination/shop drawings in revit with in a team of 3 (one detached local project file we made copies of, and the project browser was a nightmare, lol)... got used to the revit UI and could model anything you wanted after 8 months. in 2014, moved on to a MEP engineering firm as a bim technician and learned more about the program (shared parameters, family creation, worksets, collaboration, project templates, etc... transition from servers to revit server was a new thing) 2015, moved to another firm and got a job as design engineer and worked on a bunch of projects. I had the documentation down ok and learned about the engineering design side, so i learned the calcs and i could do the modeling/ drawings myself. later, i learned from a close coworker about using revit as an engineering tool as opposed to a drafting tool. such as friction calculations and sizing the system with revit, however, this is very cumbersome, especially with multiple people working on the same project. i think now stuff to learn that springboard off revit are the plugins that help with workflow. Dynamo was one, but i haven't heard about it since closely before COVID started. revisto was another, that's just a collaboration platform. I've never done any scripts, i just use rftools to help with any workflow i need done, if i have to do it myself cuz our bim team is busy. I have a bunch of my own families that I keep on my desktop and when we get a blank project off a generic template, i just go and set up all my stuff and get the ball rolling. other than revit, it's mostly navisworks for trade coordination that's the most helpful, but since everything is on the bim 360 platform, i think that UI is important to know.

[@mohammadhaaris1741]

Hi there!!! I just wanted to check with you reg the courses being offered at a nearby BIM coaching centre. The package includes- AutoCAD,revit (archi & structure), civil 3D, microstation,Aecosim and navisworks. Are these a true BIM softwares? And can we be made industry ready if we follow these? I've heard a lot about BIM 360 , does any of the above softwares has any connections with the BIM 360 as trainer is claiming there's no seperate software for BIM 360! Please advise what to do?

[@tomshaji]

Where is this ?

[@user-vt2lt5lp9d]

Read bim handbook by eastman. You'll understand what actually bim is ?! BIM 360 is collaboration tool. The softwares you mentioned are bim authoring tools. You won't get ready with just softwares. This are just tools and small part of bim. There are lots of thing apart from those. Hope this helps.

[@artmaven_31]

During my internship I got my hands on certain platforms like Bim360,Navisworks and major part was revit as I was working on Revit since my 2yr during b.arch but now I am in 5th yr and I am confused what should I do. I am really interested in BIM but want get hold of the design part also. I am confused whether I should go for masters or not (As having BIM is a great skill but I don't want to get into purely into it like MEP as an instance) modeling I am interested in Rhino and Revit collaboration but do not know anything about Rhino as of now. Apart from this I have meagre knowledge of practical realm (on site work). Should I go on learning onsite experiences by getting a job as an Intern Architect or should I just apply for Fresher Architect I am eagerly waiting for reply to the same.

[@user-vt2lt5lp9d]

You missing all the points. Bim is not only modeling or mep stuff. It's more than you could imagine. Yes we do design in rhino and have interoperability with different softwares like revit for documention and to detect clash on navis. Once you complete your masters you can work as a bim modeler, bim Manger, bim technician or just coordinator. Infact nowadays we're integrating AI and machine learning in design. Thanks to bim. Hope this helps you.

[@user-vt2lt5lp9d]

There's literally no scope in basic architecture job. My friends and colleagues from hafiz and sanjay puri with experience of decades literally regretting the job and struggling with pay scale. Traditional architecture practice is dead and you'll understand that in upcoming years. Cause all over the world bim is becoming mandatory for tier 2 constructions. And this new ifc policies and bim standards growing rapidly with digital integration of AI and new tech in bim. So I would suggest you to go for bim without thinking anything.

HOW TO GET JOB IN FIRMS ABROAD AFTER COMPLETING B.ARCH FROM INDIA ? IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET A JOB ?

[@NehaSadruddin]

Networking via LinkedIn can go a long way in helping you get a job abroad. Reach out to people who are part of teams you aspire to join and try to get more insight from them

[@MrSamuelmacalister]

For most companies considering architect graduates ( based on my past experience), the want cad, or revit users who can support construction documentation packages. That may be one way to get into a practice, then you could work late on competition work, or if your well connected you could bring in a job for the company. Sometimes it is good timing and luck 😊

[@Paltheus]

@@MrSamuelmacalister So you're saying that companies focus more on CAD Monkeys and slave work at low salaries... got it.

Make sure you have a good portfolio and a versatile set of skills. If you have few obstacles getting certified then you can apply to most offices around the world. Anything else is secondary.

I'm not going to suggest to you not to do it. But if you do do it your every waking moment should be about it. You need to live and breath it. If you treat it like any other "job" you will not be successful. It is a hard hard journey with little reward. Don't get me wrong, you'll make some money, but you'll never be a staple of the profession. Make sure you really want this if you choose to do it.
