Along with the listing of AutoCAD Building Design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software 360Quadrants has worked on listing Trimble, Bentley Systems, Leica Geosystems Ag, Vectorworks, Inc., Graphisoft, Aurora and IRISVR INC among others as the top vendors in the Building Design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software. The platform will also provide the most granular comparisons between vendors.

Building Design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software is a model-based process for designing and managing buildings and infrastructures. The construction drawings can be used to generate a digital representation of the functional properties of a building or place. BIM software includes computer-aided design (CAD) products and other tools including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP). CAD is used for the architecture design and construction industries.BIM is supported by various tools, technologies and contracts for the generation and management of digital presentations of physical and functional features of places.

360 Scoring Methodology

Top Companies in Building Design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software will be rated using the following methodology –

A highly experienced team of researchers and senior analysts conduct extensive research to generate a list of vendors (competitors).
A patent-pending algorithm is used to collect inputs from key stakeholders—industry experts, buyers, vendors, and 360Quadrants analysts—based on criteria for Product Maturity and Company Maturity.
Criteria under Product Maturity include breadth and depth of product/service offering, product features and functionalities, product differentiation, and their impact on customer value.
Criteria under Company Maturity include geographical footprint, partner ecosystem, financial stability, and client coverage or sector footprint.
Approximately 20+ in-depth parameters will be considered for research for the Building Design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software These parameters will be updated every 6 months to ensure latest developments are taken into consideration.
A weight is assigned to each stakeholder based on information gathered pertaining to the above criteria as well as inputs from stakeholders. These inputs follow the order of priority given below:
Buyers
Industry Experts
360Quadrants Analysts
Vendors (Competitors)
The inputs are analyzed, and a final rating is assigned to each vendor (competitor).
After the finalization of ratings, each vendor is placed in the most relevant quadrant based on their score.
