Each round will look at different aspects that are important to Architects here in Australia.
It needs to be an expert in each of the tools working through the processes and demonstrating/convincing the other that their tool is more powerful undertaking a specific task.ĭom and I will be completing this testing over 12 rounds, hence the boxing theme. Now there is no benefit in me sitting down and trying to learn Revit to do this. I honestly want to know the strengths and weaknesses of each of the tools when put through the processes that are undertaken by Architects throughout the delivery process. Often these comparisons have been unrealistic and don’t demonstrate the true workflows that are undertaken on a daily basis to achieve the deliverables of the Architect here in Australia. These presentations were created by people in the industry that had significant vested interests in presenting their specific tool of choice in the best light. I have seen many biased demonstrations and articles written about side by side comparisons over the last 5 years. The first question people ask when they see I am doing a presentation on this topic is "WHY" This isn’t a pissing competition! It isn’t an immature argument or debate on which BIM authoring tool is better! It is about attempting to create an unbiased comparison of the tools so that owners and managers of Architectural practices in Australia can make an informed decision on which tool delivers their business the best outcomes.
