Construction management starts with a project owner sharing project information to contractors and subcontractors in order to solicit bids. Once the project owner receives all the bids, a contractor is then selected based on the lowest bid, best qualifications, or of best value to the company. The process. Procurement.

I am “mad as hell” at how 3D visualization vendors have marketed BIM. Sure 3D visualization is a great tool, and a valuable component of BIM… but in itself, 3D visualization is NOT BIM. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology.

That said, BIM has been preoccupied with 3D visualization to the extent that many/most feel that Revit, Archicad, et al are all that’s needed to implement BIM. Despite the above there remains surprisingly little collaboration within the AECOO sector(s) (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Owner).
