OMNIX International, the sole dealer for Autodesk in the Middle East, plans to offer state-of-the-art building information modelling (BIM) training for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industries in the UAE.

The company said it is focusing on the implementation and promotion of Autodesk solutions in the field of CADD (computer-aided design and drafting) and BIM across new markets.  The emergence of BIM reflects a paradigm shift for the AutoCAD-led construction industry, showing how design technology can optimise project costs, enhance sustainability and energy efficiency of buildings and also guarantee higher return on investment (ROI) for owners and operators, it added.

“Utilising BIM across these projects will allow users to completely explore a project’s physical and functional characteristics digitally before it is built – thereby assuring timely delivery and huge cost savings,” said Dr Jayant Deshpande, director – CAD division, Omnix International.
