BIM Construction Cost Estimating – Top Ten List

Building Information Management

While the industry is currently fixated upon 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, Bentely… they only represent components of a BIM solution. Here’s a list of BIM Construction Cost Estimating Requirements: 1. Appropriate level of technology to assure productivity, collaboration, security, audit trail.
