Parametric modeling is a way of building digital models in which elements are defined by rules and parameters, so changing one value, such as a wall height or window width, updates everything that depends on it. It makes design changes faster and keeps drawings and quantities consistent.

## Why does parametric modeling matter for architects, engineers and contractors in India?

It makes design changes faster and keeps drawings and quantities consistent. Parametric BIM elements such as walls, doors and stairs carry the data that BOQs and schedules need.

## What is an example of parametric modeling?

Changing the floor-to-floor height in a parametric model automatically adjusts stairs, wall heights and the quantities in the BOQ.
