Building Information Modeling (BIM) vs Paper-Based Design
Developers should learn BIM when working on software for the AEC industry, such as CAD tools, project management platforms, or data analysis applications, as it provides a standardized framework for handling complex building data meets developers should learn paper-based design when working on user-centric projects, such as web or mobile app development, to quickly prototype ideas and gather stakeholder feedback before coding. Here's our take.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Nice PickDevelopers should learn BIM when working on software for the AEC industry, such as CAD tools, project management platforms, or data analysis applications, as it provides a standardized framework for handling complex building data
Pros
- +It is essential for roles involving interoperability between different software systems, automation of design processes, or development of plugins/extensions for BIM software like Revit or ArchiCAD
- +Related to: autodesk-revit, archicad
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Paper-Based Design
Developers should learn paper-based design when working on user-centric projects, such as web or mobile app development, to quickly prototype ideas and gather stakeholder feedback before coding
Pros
- +It's particularly useful in agile or lean methodologies for sprint planning, user story mapping, and usability testing, as it reduces time and cost compared to digital prototyping
- +Related to: user-experience-design, wireframing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Building Information Modeling (BIM) if: You want it is essential for roles involving interoperability between different software systems, automation of design processes, or development of plugins/extensions for bim software like revit or archicad and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Paper-Based Design if: You prioritize it's particularly useful in agile or lean methodologies for sprint planning, user story mapping, and usability testing, as it reduces time and cost compared to digital prototyping over what Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers.
