Myth #6: BIM only benefits those involved in design and construction
BIM uncovers all views of the same underlying information, so all project participants stand to gain from these new ways of working. Designers can spend more time actually designing, safe in the knowledge that their designs look good and perform as expected. By co-ordinating data, owners and contractors can accurately communicate design intent to clients. Using consistent, structured digital asset data should make it easy to see where operational costs lie for those interested in post-occupational decisions.
The truth? It’s not just design and construction teams who stand to benefit from BIM – everyone does!
