Top Building Design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software
Building design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software encompasses computer-aided design (CAD) tools widely used in the architecture and construction sectors. These products often feature specialized tools and libraries for architectural design and construction, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, as well as BIM. BIM software facilitates a model-based approach for designing and managing buildings and infrastructure, offering a digital representation of a facility's functional properties beyond traditional construction drawings. While some products in this category serve broader CAD purposes, their rankings here are based solely on their application in building design.
