At the heart of this revolution lies a three-letter acronym that has evolved from a trend into the new industry standard: <strong>BIM<\/strong>, or <em>Building Information Modeling<\/em>. But what exactly is BIM methodology? It\u2019s often mistaken for a specific software solution\u2014such as Revit\u00ae\u2014or simply a 3D model. However, the scope of this methodology goes far beyond just software.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an <a href=\"https:\/\/faveker.com\/en\/home\/faveker-architect\/\">architect<\/a>, engineer or <a href=\"https:\/\/faveker.com\/en\/home\/faveker-installer\/\">fa\u00e7ade installer<\/a>, understanding and adopting <strong>BIM<\/strong> is no longer a choice.
