BIM, Productivity, Architecture, Engineering, and Construction.

Building Information Management

Stress and lack of productivity are largely related to several factors: uncertainty, poor communication/collaboration, improperly assigned time factors, etc., Can productivity and transparency be improved? Revit, Archicad et al… are NOT BIM, but rather 3D visualization components of BIM. and thus can only be mitigated.
