But what about when we print? If you think PDFs are getting too big now, what if all that metadata came with it. In design software, we can create a “Room” and indicate the flooring, wall and ceiling finishes and feed that information into live schedules. You name it, we must provide a location, and building information modeling (BIM) has helped us all see how everything fits together in fine detail. A pinpoint location is essential for foundations, walls, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) fixtures, maybe even furniture.
The key to any design or construction project is choosing specific materials and locating them in the right place and the correct phase of construction.
