What is Residential BIM

[lbuttery]

Why would a residential builder be interested in a whole life cycle approach to construction

Edward:

they probably wouldn't - this is what 6D software does

so yes, that would fit outside the scale of residential BIM

so is that the definition of Residential BIM - 3D + 4D + 5D ???

If so, then I can understand that and agree

BTW: you do realize that this conversation is academic since CA has insisted that Chief is BIM
and there is probably little need to go further ....

CA has talked about implementing IFC and maybe a few other BIM principles
but so far no recognition that 4D or 5D are needed or desired by Chiefers

I don't think it is reasonable to expect CA to implement 4D or 5D within Chief

but it would be reasonable to expect Chief to be able to create expoort files that
can be used by 4D and 5D software
