Another useless poll!
If his company...Elevations Bim do the things they say and in the industries they support then Bentley is their only choice....

Check out the stupid response from Eric O....

Staying in scope of the question, If I had to choose 1 of the 5 offered, I would say Revit. Solidworks (while I;m not an expert on the software) in my understanding is designed as a manufacturing solution. (alhough they are developing an AEC solution, I hear). Sketchup is nice for pretty pictures, and small budgets, but Its not BIM. I know Archicad has a following, but does it have an MEP contingent? You ARE interested in Powering up your project? Heating / cooling it? Frankly if you aren't concerning yourself with Structural. / MEP, can you really say you are doing a BIM project?

That leaves two, Bentley and Revit. Revit simply has a bigger user base, and therefore has more trained users, and more resources for learning / support.
