BIM is a relatively new technology especially in the construction sector, an industry typically slow to adapt to change. BIM proponents claim that in the near future, it will offer a lot of value in terms of
Improving visualization.
Improving productivity via easy information retrieval.
Increasing coordination of construction documents.
Linking of vital information such as vendors for specific materials, the location of details and quantities required for tendering.
Increasing speed of delivery.
Reducing overall costs.
Building information modelling and automated quantities technologies can provide the industry with consequential opportunities to raise the quality of the industry to a much higher and sophisticated level. Having the capability to simulate a range of data options with real-time cost advice and carry on throughout the detailed design, construction, and operational stages, BIM will surely place construction practices at a higher value.
