It is essential to consider the size, complexity, budget, and specific requirements of your industry when choosing a technology for your project. CAD may be more appropriate for smaller, simpler projects than BIM for larger projects.
Define CAD
In Computer Aided Design, things such as buildings, products, and structures are designed in 2D and 3D using computer programs. Technical drawings, blueprints, and schematics can be created with this software-based tool. It is easy and quick to create accurate and detailed drawings with CAD software.
Define BIM
Creating a virtual model of a building or structure is known as BIM or Building Information Modeling. An architect, an engineer, and a contractor can manage a construction project collectively using 3D modeling technology.
A BIM software program automates the creation of digital models of buildings and structures containing all their physical and functional characteristics. Simulating the construction process, identifying potential issues, and optimizing design can be accomplished using these models.
BIM Merits & Demerits
Merits
Construction projects are easier to coordinate when different stakeholders collaborate on the same model simultaneously. The detailed and accurate BIM models are more useful for identifying potential issues and optimizing design decisions than CAD drawings. Models for building information modeling (BIM) can be used to simulate construction processes in order to uncover potential problems and optimize construction schedules.
