Not only that, but the fact that there are no conflicts between different versions being worked on by different teams also saves huge amounts of time, stress and rework, says Ahmed Nafea, Building Information Modelling (BIM) manager in Polar Management, the project management arm of Redcon.

BIM objects are much more than just graphical representations. All BIM objects have properties, and most also have geometries (although some do not, for example a paint finish). The specification is part of the project BIM, and objects live in the specification. ‘A new generation of specifiers is being empowered by BIM.
