Building Information Modeling (BIM) isn’t a new concept in construction. Despite its benefits, however, BIM adoption isn’t as widespread in construction as some might think, according to recent industry findings. While 27 percent of companies reported having a BIM/VDC department, 28 percent said they don’t bid on BIM projects.

There is one type of BIM, that I call the Bully BIM. It is a bit of a ‘below-the-belt punch’ kind of BIM approach. Unforeseen clashes of building elements cause a lot of trouble when discovered during construction and subsequently slow progress down, result in abortive works, extra materials, labor cost and lengthened programs.

This has obviously led to large-scale improvements in the way structures are designed and building materials are fabricated. Modern projects are incorporating building information management (BIM) software. All stakeholders have access to the same files, documents, drawing, and models. If not, now is the time to take the plunge.

You create fancy animations and visualisations of the built assets coming to life, ultimately presenting a relatively low-fidelity model of the asset you’re creating. Your solution must accommodate technically-minded BIM users, managers, and ground teams.
