BIM Construction Cost Estimating – Top Ten List

Building Information Management

First and foremost BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. While the industry is currently fixated upon 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, Bentely… they only represent components of a BIM solution.

The Legal Aspects of BIM

Building Information Management

BIM is the efficient full life cycle operation of the built environment, with the promise of managing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and associated physical and functional conditions in concert with an organization’s changing needs. BIM is NOT 3D modeling (Revit, Archicad, Bentley, etc.), Appropriate distribution of risk.
