Estonian design market
• mostly small enterprises
• usually concentrating for one design discipline only
• not really interested about BIM-interoperability

• several of them have used BIM software for their own


discipline already for many years (architects, structural,
HVAC). dwg format.
• some larger companies are adopting and integrating BIM
for all basic design disciplines. Quality varies (both
engineering- and BIM-capability quality)
• quiet ignorance (in public) to develop BIM capabilities by
older generation
• quiet rise of young (sometimes inexperienced) BIM-
generation. Resume of all – implementing BIM is just a
question of time.
Based on A.Alt; edited by R. Vahenurm
BIM software
• Archicad
architects’ favorite for many years. Output to
others only dwg-files.
• Autodesk
the products benefit from having superior amount
of AutoCad users among Estonian engineers.
Supported by several resellers, frequent campaigns
and long list of product names (high expectations
for interoperability).
• Tekla
is not widely presented and used mostly in
companies tied directly to some building industry
branch producer (concrete elements, steel
structures). No resellers/representatives in Estonia.
Based on A.Alt; edited by R. Vahenurm
BIM software (2)
• MagiCAD and CADS Planner
are presented and used but rarely in BIM
• Bentley
is presented in Estonia but rare users among
building designers
• Solibri or Navisworks
rare paid version cases. Solibri is not presented in
Estonia.
• Allplan
not presented and probably not used in Estonia
• Archibus
is used by several larger real estate owners

Lessons learned:
– Whole team needs to have (BIM) skillset and
software know-how
– Sub-contractors should also use the model
– Usage of point cloud decreases the number of
mistakes in design phase
– Good planning helps to avoid mistakes in the
project

Information
Management

• Data
– Who? What? When? In what form?
• Quality of the data. Garbage In – Gargage Out

• Perception and adoption


• Well-managed Building Information is like
using superbrain during the whole life-cycle of
the building
