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. Metrics and Benchmarks – Time, Accuracy, Cost.
