Myth #9: Clients don’t know what to do with BIM data
Clients are increasingly asking for their projects to be ‘BIM’ projects without always fully understanding what this actually means in practice or the benefits such an approach would bring. It is for precisely this reason that stakeholders should engage well and engage early to make sure that both the client(s) and facilities management teams are brought in from the off to allow their requirements to be fully understood. Initiatives like the BSRIA/ UBT Soft Landings Framework and Government Soft Landings can help, and titles like BIM for Construction Clients are helping to concentrate minds.
The truth? Engaging clients early can help manage expectations and get better results across the project lifecycle.
