The process of creating and using digital models for design, construction and/or operations of projects.
Who is using BIM and what results are they seeing?
McGraw-Hill Construction recently polled thousands of AEC/O members and asked them how they are using BIM technologies, who is using the technology, and why/if the investment makes sense. What they learned is that:
• Close to 50% of the industry is using BIM in some fashion;
• Those who are using BIM fully expect to increase their use;
• A high percentage of users are identifying business benefits and ROI
from the new technologies and practices.
To quote from page 15 of the report:
• BIM increases profits;
• BIM reduces rework;
• BIM reduces errors and omissions in construction documents;
• BIM helps in marketing new business to new clients;
• BIM helps in maintaining business with past clients.
If:
• You’ve lost a recent project opportunity to a firm who differentiated
themselves based upon model-based scheduling and other model-
based construction management processes;
• You want to better understand where and when BIM is being used
and evaluate if it makes sense for your firm;
• You have just set up a BIM Task Force for your company and are looking
to learn as much as possible;
• You’ve been investing in BIM software and are ready to move beyond
modeling and clash detection;
• You believe your firm’s BIM capabilities can redefine the way you
deliver projects;
• You want to compare your BIM ROI statistics with the report findings.
