Civil Information Modeling

In this section, we’ll embark on a journey into the realm of Civil Information Modeling (CIM), a transformative approach that has reshaped how we design and execute civil engineering projects. We’ll share experiences, explore processes, and navigate the successes and challenges encountered while implementing full CIM designs. Our focus extends beyond individual projects to the ambitious goal of fully integrating CIM across entire organizations.

But before we delve into the intricacies of CIM implementation, let’s take a moment to demystify some common acronyms that have become synonymous with the AEC industry. You’re likely familiar with BIM, a term that has long been associated with intelligently designing buildings and structures. However, on the civil engineering front, we’ve been crafting and modeling everything outside of buildings in a 3D environment for as long as, if not longer than, BIM has been in circulation...
