Abstract
In the realm of civil engineering, the evolution of drafting software has significantly transformed the design and construction processes. This research delves into a comparative analysis of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD), two paramount tools in modern civil drafting. By employing a combination of literature reviews, case study evaluations, and expert interviews, this study aims to discern the core functionalities, efficiencies, and applications of both BIM and CAD in various civil engineering projects. The findings reveal that while BIM offers an integrated design approach fostering enhanced collaboration and reduced errors, CAD excels in precision and versatility across diverse engineering disciplines. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance for industry professionals to judiciously select between BIM and CAD based on project requirements, underscoring the unique strengths and limitations of each system.
