While this is true to a certain extent - there are some outdoor structures such as steps, planters, walls, decks, pergolas, gazebos, etc. Of course, it can be argued that landscape architects don’t need a separate BIM tool - they can just use the BIM tools the architects are using. Not only does this prevent landscape architects from availing of the many benefits of BIM that their architectural and engineering colleagues are enjoying, it also makes it difficult for them to be an integral part of the building team early on when the most critical decisions about the building design are made. For the most part, landscape architects are still working in 2D CAD, even if the corresponding building design has been done using BIM. (See the recent article, “ BIM Software for Infrastructure.”) However, tools that extend BIM to the comparatively smaller domain of landscape architecture are almost non-existent.
The AEC technology industry has been seeing increasing momentum in the extension of the model-based concept of BIM to the design and development of infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, and bridges, with several tools targeted towards civil engineers.
