What is Residential BIM

BIM is BIM

BIM for a large firm engaged in large jobs is an information model for that scale of enterprise.

A conversation about implementing a BIM at that scale for Chief users is silly.

A conversation about implementing BIM at a residential builder level is a conversation worth having.

To have that conversation people would have to be interested in the subject. So is this subject relevant or not.

Ed:

yep, it is all a matter of scale

BIM is BIM

the same principles apply just scaled differently

Residential BIM could still use 4D and 5D software - but probably not 6D

Residential BIM could still use collision detection and structural analysis and energy analysis

Residential BIM could still use Affinity

Chief can do 30 floors which starts to move it past Residential BIM

so while various apps could be beyond Residential BIM, the same principles apply
(as far as I can see...)

BIM is BIM

please give an example of a BIM principle that applies to commercial that doesn't apply to residential

this is not a challenge but a request for understanding
