## What is BIM software? 

Researched by: [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/resources/author/capterra/)

Updated on August 7, 2026

[Building information modeling (BIM) software](https://www.capterra.com/bim-software/) offers a model-based process for planning, designing, constructing, and managing buildings and diverse infrastructure, including roads, bridges, ports, and tunnels. This tool assists collaboration between professionals from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, allowing them to create 3D models of buildings and understand their functional properties.

Besides standard 3D, BIM tools also cater to various other dimensions, including:

-   4D: Predicts execution time and overlaps in the building activities
    
-   5D: Estimates the cost of the overall project
    
-   6D: Conducts energy analysis to understand the effects of natural lighting
    
-   7D: Ensures operational efficiency, safety, and compliance with building standards

-   [Cost of BIM software](#cost-of-bim-software)
-   [Considerations when purchasing BIM software](#considerations-when-purchasing-bim-software)

## Benefits of BIM software

-   **Visualizes projects in preconstruction**: 3D BIM software offers a model-based construction process that helps visualize the whole project before the construction phase begins. Stakeholders can see how the project will turn out via 3D modeling and animations. They can also get a real-life understanding of the construction project with additional design aspects such as interior design, gardens, and landscapes. Moreover, the BIM tool also helps assess the effects of natural lighting with shadow analysis. This project visualization gives stakeholders a chance to modify the architectural design in the preconstruction phase.
    
-   **Improves collaboration between AEC professionals**: In a BIM software solution, all the relevant information, including models, cost estimates, and task-specific instructions, is shared and stored in one place. It allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to access all the information as and when required and stay updated with the construction plans. It also gives them a chance to offer their suggestions and resolve any conflict. This aids collaboration between AEC workers and eliminates information silos.
    
-   **Saves cost and resources**: BIM solutions provide cost estimates of construction long before it begins. It helps estimate costs related to materials, shipping, labor, etc. This estimation allows the architects to calculate the cost of a construction project and determine ways to reduce these costs. For example, cost-effective materials can be chosen, materials can be bought when they are at their lowest market price, or construction workflow can be streamlined to reduce billable hours.
    
-   **Helps improve safety regulations**: The construction industry has a lot of safety regulations and requirements. A building information model tool helps plan, implement, and monitor these safety regulations. With 3D model designing, potential construction hazards can be identified and eliminated by adjusting the architectural design. It offers tools such as visual risk analysis and safety evaluation that generate in-depth reports about site conditions. Building information modeling software also allows stakeholders to access up-to-date construction reports, site data, and task-specific instructions, ensuring everyone is using the correct version of the documents and plans.
    

## Typical features of BIM software

-   **Collaboration tools**: Allows different stakeholders, such as architects, engineers, and contractors, to work together while communicating and sharing information within the system in real time.
    
-   **Document management**: Collect, upload, store, and share all documents in a centralized location, making it easier for everyone involved to access information.
    
-   **Design modeling**: Create 2D or 3D models of the structure to provide a realistic view of the project.
    
-   **Project management**: Allows the project manager to break down, assign, and schedule tasks. Also allows them to track budget, time, resources, and task status and analyze potential failures.
    
-   **Computer-aided design (CAD) tools**: Develop, modify, analyze, and optimize architectural designs in 2D or 3D models.
    

## Cost of BIM software

Most products on the market are priced on a per-user, per-month basis and can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price.

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $48 - $95
    
-   $96 - $290
    
-   $291+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offerings found on vendor websites as of September 16, 2022. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

The above list includes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features such as workflow management, task management, scheduling, data import/export, and 3D imaging.

## Considerations when purchasing BIM software

-   **Analyze your business requirements**: Before you select any BIM tool for your business, thoroughly analyze your business requirements and your expectations from the tool. For example, if your main purpose is to visualize the construction project, the best BIM software for you will be the one with advanced visualization features that help you get a realistic view of the building design. Similarly, if your aim is to estimate project cost, 5D building information modeling software capable of generating detailed cost information for each object and task will serve you better.
    
-   **Check integration and system compatibility**: Integration and compatibility ensure that you don't lose data or corrupt files while moving them. A BIM solution that integrates with your existing system will allow you to move your files from the existing software to the new software, and you'll not have to go back to creating your drawings from scratch. Integration and compatibility also ensure that you can import data from other software systems and also work on design files with various extensions. Therefore, go for a building information modeling tool that offers the maximum number of integration and compatibility options.
    
-   **Assess design templates and objects**: Design templates help you get a head start on your project, and objects such as furniture, decorative items, and different types of materials give a realistic touch to the building design. Adding these elements allows you to visualize your design in different ways by experimenting with the objects. Therefore, assess the number and type of design templates and objects offered by a BIM software solution before you shortlist it.
