Moreover, what are firms to do with old software containing completed projects?įor Gilbey, Vectorworks Landmark is the solution. Then, there’s the learning curve: It takes time to successfully implement BIM workflows, time at the cost of project efficiency. Landscape architects often use an array of different software programs to append data to their models. “Even for just the benefit of making better site design decisions, it’s a better workflow, anyway.”Īdopting a new workflow, however, isn't always a walk in the park.įor one, not all landscape-specific software options are capable of doing BIM, and not all BIM software options are purpose-built for the landscape architect, Gilbey said. “Architects and engineers have come to expect these BIM workflows,” Gilbey said. “It’s been a similar process with adopting BIM.”īIM lets landscape architects work more closely with architects, engineers, and other external collaborators - many of whom use BIM regularly - on projects with structural and civil requirements.
We needed tools that allowed us to collaborate easiest,” he said. “Many landscape architects made the switch from hand drawing to CAD drafting as a matter of necessity.
His takeaways speak to the industry’s ongoing evolution. Our Landscape Product Marketing Manager, Eric Gilbey, PLA, ASLA, presented at the 2019 Digital Landscape Architecture Conference (DLA) on how BIM workflows benefit landscape architects. The landscape architecture industry, as it moves to standardize BIM workflows, is experiencing a transition not unlike moving from hand drawings to CAD drafting.
