Building information modeling (BIM) has become commonplace in the AEC industry due to its many advantages over traditional CAD. BIM is all about data and turning modeled geometry into what many describe as a “single source of truth.”
If you’re thinking about or are in the process of implementing BIM, there are a few key points that are important to consider: understanding the incentives, establishing goals and vision, having a plan of action, and evaluating and measuring progress. Each of these points help address common challenges associated with implementing BIM, including lack of time, commitment, or resources.
