The choice of software for the implementation of projects based on information modeling technologies

Building information modeling is associated with the process of collecting data about a building in a centralized repository, the data of which is used by all stakeholders at each stage of the building's life cycle. This information is necessary not only for the design and construction of the main structures of the facility, but also for the development of control systems for the engineering equipment of the building, these include control systems for power supply, water supply, sanitation, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Relevant information about both the building and its systems is the basis for the design of process automation, providing new opportunities to optimize the management strategy, both to improve the energy efficiency of the facility and for the convenience of users. At the stage of operation of the building, specialists from various fields and levels are involved, who need information and documents from other project participants. In addition, the use of information modeling technologies (TIM) avoids duplication of data on the object and significantly increases the reliability of stored information. For this reason, today there are many software vendors for solving BIM tasks, they offer solutions both for individual stages and for the entire life of the object, starting with the development of the project concept and ending with the demolition of the building upon completion of operation. The purpose of this article is to conduct a comparative analysis of software from different developers, to show the possibilities of using information modeling technologies for the development of projects for the construction and operation of a building at the stages of its life cycle.
